What's in a cover? NaNoWriMo Success Planning


enter image description here

Did you know that many of the most successful people use visualization? It's the process of "seeing" your success before it happens. It's used by Olympic athletes and even NASA!

For some of us, the idea of writing 50,000 words in a month is the equivalent of winning a gold medal or flying to the moon. So to help boost our chances of success, why not visualize your novel as complete?

Now you could get comfy and start imagining posting the NaNoWriMo "Winner" badge (which I think is a great idea) or you can make and look at the cover of your finished novel.

How do I do that?

You do have an image of your completed novel right?

No?

Or maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about.

So let me back up and show an example. Here is the "cover" I made for my to-be-written novel:

How cool is that? Actually it isn't terribly creative or what I actually have envisioned for the final cover but it is a great symbol for the book in progress. (Sorry it's so large!)

Do you want a cover?

I thought some of my fellow November Madness writers might want a cover of their own. So if you don't have one, have the time to make one, or the skills to make one, let me help you!

All you need to do is:

  1. Let me know you want a cover
  2. Send me a picture you want to use
  3. Tell me what byline to put at the bottom

You can post these in the comments or send me a Discord DM with the info (ntowl#9845).

This offer is only for officially registered November Madness Writers. Not registered? Go here to see how to sign up.

We can do it!
