You Wrote a Novel! So Now What? Click the link above to find out what to do now!

Read this NaNo-inspired, word-count driven poem by YA Author Esmé Raji Codell.

"I promise you that every self-doubt you've had, I've had."

Truthfully, though, the secret to completing a novel is mostly just a matter of not giving up.

It’s not magic that lets me skip through the pages on a good day; it’s a particular state of mind.

"People show you how they feel far more often than they tell you."

"Inside your book, you’re the monarch of your own kingdom, and what you say goes."

"Remember, writers invent real worlds, then populate those worlds with real readers."

"No author on the planet gets a first draft published.'"

"You’re the writer! Make the words do what you want; don’t be frightened of them."
