The post nano hype can be a big let down. You can keep up your spirits and your momentum in many different ways.
- Finish your story. Not everyone can finish their work in 50,000 words. Sometimes more are needed.
- Edit your manuscript- 2 to 4 pages a day
- Get together with other writers for write-ins. This will encourage you to continue to write. If you can't do this then set daily goals for yourself.
- Join a critique group, writing group or some other writing organization. You can do this online too! If you don't have a group in your area, start one.
For me I am trying to write every day on my other WIP (work in progress). The Y-City Writers' Forum has been a big help to me. A friend and I have invited other writers to join us for write-ins once a week. I am thinking seriously about getting the critique group going.
Even if I am not working on my novel, I try to write something every day. Yesterday, I wrote out my emotions about a friend who passed away. Today I am blogging and I will probably work on Hitching a Ride a bit too!
So even with the post nano blues it is possible to turn this wonderful experience into a model that works for you!
