How to Turn a Writing Challenge Into a Revision Challenge
-
Narrated by:

By:
You want to join a November writing challenge, but you’re in the middle of your revisions.
Should you drop your project and do something new for Novel November? Maybe, if you want to. But there’s another option.
You can use Novel November to revise your novel instead. You just need to choose the right goal for where you are in the revision process.
Here are 8 goals you can set if you’re revising your book but still want to participate in a writing challenge:
- Words rewritten
- Words edited
- Scenes revised
- Words deleted
- Worldbuilding & character development work
- Pages/books read
- A reverse outline sprint
- A learning sprint
- A promo/marketing sprint
For my explanation of all eight goals and when to consider them, listen to the full episode!
You can also check out a list of NaNoWriMo alternatives with links to sign up here.
Just FYI, I am not affiliated with or sponsoring any of these challenges and haven't even decided if I'm joining one this year!
