Writing a novel is arguably one of the most gruelling of endurance sports. We write and write and write, only to scrap what we wrote and write it, again and again. We want to ensure that the message is accurate to our vision, the characters live up to their challenges, the story engages the reader, and so much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a writer, going on such an intense\/exhausting\/exhilarating\/inspiring (choose your adjective) journey, it\u2019s important to remember to take care of yourself. After all, you\u2019re wearing all the hats on this project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not there to do the work, no one else will pick it up for you. So, here\u2019s a little friendly advice about how I take care of myself during NaNoWriMo<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing as a workout!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like to pretend that NaNoWriMo<\/a> is a fitness challenge instead of a writing challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were participating in a workout challenge, I\u2019d need to make a special point of caring for myself, mind, body, and spirit, to keep from losing ground. Some things I\u2019d make sure to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vary my workouts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It can exhaust the muscles to work out heavily every single day. I usually do about 3-4 heavy days (1+ hours of training, or in this case, writing), 1-2 lighter days (30 minutes to 1 hour), and 1 day of complete rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re working out, you need to eat right and drink plenty of fluids to fuel your body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the strenuous activity you\u2019re engaging in will take its toll. The same is true of writing. When you\u2019re feeling stuck, it can help to read pieces of writing that inspire you, with your favourite beverage on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever I\u2019m feeling uninspired, or my writing reads flat to me, I like to settle in with a cup of tea and read a novel that originally inspired me to want to write (for me, that novel is Outlander<\/a><\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"tea<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because November is so short, it may not be possible to rest completely for a whole day, but it can help to give yourself the occasional day where you allow yourself to rest your mind and forgive yourself for not performing at the top of your game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, this doesn\u2019t mean that you should turn on Netflix<\/a> and simply give up; one of the keys to taking a \u201crest day\u201d is that you still do something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you ever think about NaNoWriMo as a fitness-related activity? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes just the metaphor of considering it to be a \u201crace\u201d helps me stay focused on the goal. Writing a novel is hard work, and November is an opportunity to do some of that hard work with the support of a great community of writers who are doing the same work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are some ways you like to think about NaNoWriMo as a means of helping you get to the end?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
