Step 1: Know Thyself I can write 100wpm on a laptop. But I can't *write* on them because I'll waste time online. (The urge to avoid actually writing is strong with this one, fellas). [pls dont @ me about turning off wifi and whatever hacks you have - I've tried]...

Step 2: Select your Writing Weapons In fact, the most productive writing I've had recently has been on loose-leaf paper (tbt my elementary/middle-school days, Mum you know the ones) [𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃: 𝙋𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙧] Oh help.

Step 3: Get the Tools - A blank notebook dedicated to brainstorming/world-building notes/etc. "The Thought Catcher." - PACKETS of college ruled paper (story writing, plot outlines, chapter details, etc. The Meat of the story) - A binder to build my book in

Get the Tools cont. - - pens galore - post-its and color tabs (organize the chaos) And some Treat Yoself items: Noise canceling earbuds, new mp3 player (avoid the internet!) and a cross-body bag to put the tools in. It's a portable writer's workshop!!

[a quick aside to explain the hand-written route: It's always helped me to see/feel the fruits of my labor when it comes to writing. If I can "build my book" in a binder and see the pages stack up, it'll be more motivating than any online word counter. I love the tangible.]

Step 4: Plan Out Your Writing Week My Mum recently showed me this blog post by
@TheBrometheus: "My Outlining and Writing Method" https://adamlanesmith.com/2018/10/27/my-outlining-and-writing-method/ … via@wordpressdotcom [sorry for the @ but I wanted to give credit where it's due] It's a good read, and motivated me...3 replies 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -
...to actually plan my own writing schedule this time around. And week-long chunks are nice to deal with. Behold, a visual! [A/N: the word counts for Sun/Thurs is assuming I can't write any other day. If I actually CAN, then all the better.]pic.twitter.com/bRXYAwBZme

Step 5: Rinse (The Schedule With Your Tears) and Repeat Continue until November ends/the novel is finished.

So ends the first part of my Grand Plan for Mastering the 50,000. The second part? Figuring out which story I'll work on. Equally vital. But that's for another thread! [A/N: in putting this out there I am now holding myself accountable to follow through. hoooo boy!]

I’ll offer up prayers for your success. With this preparation and should you avoid the perfectionism trap, you’ll conquer this goal.
