Choose What Happens Next.
This is the 29th day of NaNoWriMo. We have one more day and then... this leads to a very good question of what's next? That's what this episode is all about.
Perhaps you've given it a lot of thought, or you're still feverishly typing away to finish the story you've outlined. Either way, I've got some ideas to share with you that will help you move forward after the challenge.
What's next?
- Finish
- Take a break - take as much time as you need and when your creativity cup is full come on back for the next step
- Dive into the next creative project
- NaNoEdMo (National Novel Editing Month)
Starts March 1.
Challenge: 50 hours of editing.
I'm curious to know what you're going to do next?
What's next for A Mad Vox beyond "NaNoWriMo Edition"?
It's been a pleasure sharing my tips and tools to help you crush Nano. I have been wanting to do this for a long time, at least for the last few years. It turned out that this was the perfect time for me to make it happen. But I couldn't have done it without the encouragement and support of my friends and family, the challenge organizers, as well as other podcasting pioneers who have gone before and made it simple by sharing their tips and tools with newbies like me.
This is my way of paying it forward. I hope it doesn't stop with me or you. I plan to continue podcasting; trying out new creative things to challenge myself, share my experiences with others, and inspire more people to discover, hone, and use their voices to share their stories.
After tomorrow I'll be taking a break from podcasting daily to bring you the regular and likely, weekly, edition of A Mad Vox coming next.
In the meantime, I'm gathering my best creative productivity tips and tools and making my list of other fun challenges to try in the future. Until then, please make sure to subscribe via your favorite podcatcher.

Capture Your Creative Moments
Capture your creative moments.
Take a screenshot of your current progress on NaNoWriMo. It's good to have a photo of the finish line as well
If you're going to one last in-person write-in this month, take a photo with your write-in group or have someone take a photo of you in your best writing pose.
Look back at your progress this month and write down or record how you're feeling about the challenge and 3 things you've learned about yourself.
Be sure to congratulate the writers you've connected with throughout the last month. This can include those in your buddy list, in your home region on the NaNoWriMo site or in a Facebook group, and other online groups where you've found support while writing your novel this month. You can stay in touch throughout the year and support each other through the next steps.
Thanks for listening!
