5 little hacks to increase your word numbers.
- Always write full contractions. Don’t = do not. Can’t = can not. I’ll = I will. You will be amazed how often contractions pop up in your writing and this doubles the word count!
- Every time your scene shifts, write a descriptive detailed account of the surroundings. This helps me to visualize my story better as well.
- Back stories on characters. Remember NaNoWriMo isn’t about creating a final edited product, this is about writing! Give your characters depth, especially protagonists. What is their motivation for their actions against your hero?
- Descriptions of the food, heraldry, and religious ceremonies. Hey it worked for George R.R. Martin!
- Always stop at an exciting point. This comes from the NaNoWriMo site but I am a total believer! If you leave your writing at an exciting point, when you come back you will be excited to finish that scene, and that jump starts your writing session.
