hey everybody welcome back to heart
breathings today we are gonna go through
my preptober planner if you don't have a
copy of this yet you can easily get it
if you sign up for my newsletter list i
will leave a link for you down below
it's free you can always unsubscribe at
any time if you're already on my
newsletter list then you've got a link
to this thursday in your email so go
back and check it or if you already know
the link to the resource library then
you can go grab it from there so this is
uh something that i've built on top of
what i did last year so if you grabbed
the preptober workbook in 2020 some of
the pages will be familiar and they'll
still fill out the same way but i have
added to it now one thing that's kind of
funny is that since i'm on the road i
don't have a printer so i had to send
this out to staples to get printed and i
accidentally told them to print it
single sided i just missed a checkbox
somewhere so i have gone through and
glued these pages together
so that i can turn them the way they're
meant to be so my pages are particularly
thick and you will see sometimes that
there's space in between so just ignore
that
so the cover of course you can print in
color or not but it's just a little
preptober cover i went with kind of a
magazine feel
then i have a quote from stephen king
that i felt like was perfect for
preptober since it's october and it's
spooky season the scariest moment is
always just before you start and this is
so true and i think that it's an
important thing to remember especially
throughout nanowrimo because this is all
about turning off your inner editor and
really just allowing yourself to write
and
so often we're scared that what we have
in our head is not going to translate
onto the page that we're not going to be
able to do it justice that it's not
going to come out right
but it's really scarier before we sit
down once we actually sit down and start
working we start to understand that we
can do this that we remember how to
write a novel that where it's coming
naturally there's going to be moments
where things just really flow and then
there will be other moments where it
won't flow as much but as long as you
can sit down and keep working you're
going to get there so i thought that
quote would be nice if you want to hang
that up or have it in your planner a
little letter from me that has those
same four tips that i went over in
thursday's video if you haven't had a
chance to watch that you can go find it
on my channel as the previous video from
this one
the 2021 novelling checklist this is
exactly the same as it was last year so
just a few checklist things and all of
these may or may not apply to you so if
you don't plot then maybe you're not
going to color code and outline and do
index cards so that's fine you can just
mark that out or however you want to use
it but some of this stuff is still
really good if you want a detailed
walkthrough of this checklist i have it
on last year's channel or last year's
nanowrimo playlist so i will link that
for you down below but it's basically
just prep your plan so know your word
count goals go through this planner
decide what rewards you want to do
choose what time you're going to write
because this is super important we'll
talk about this more throughout the
month then prep your tools like what
software are you going to use what
computer are you going to write on what
chair where are you going to write
extras like any other tools you might
need like
headphones a better mouse like if you're
constantly getting distracted by the
people in your house a pair of
headphones can be really huge so make
sure you've got that do you need
something to make yourself more
comfortable prep your writing crew
meaning join the writing groups we have
a hardee's word sprint group if you want
to come join that i will link that down
below and we do a lot of live video
there so that is really cool
also the nanowrimo website so there's
forums join your local group all that
stuff is really important to your
success because community can help you
get through it when you're having rough
times
prep your novel obviously this is
deciding what to write knowing a little
bit about your characters color coding
if you want to
outlining if you want to and we're going
to talk about this more in this
particular preptober during the videos
that even if you're not
a plotter and you prefer to just fly by
the seat of your pants we're still going
to work on a rough sketch outline for
nano just to give you some place to go
if you feel like you get stuck
so none of this stuff is like have to
these are just tools that you might find
useful if you prefer to honestly have no
idea what you're doing and just start on
november 1st and start writing then go
for it there's nothing wrong with that
prep your space so your location like i
was saying like what chair are you gonna
write are you gonna how can you make
yourself more comfortable
create space that inspires you
maybe that can be
moved in with your tools that you're
using things that are appealing to you
visually that you're using candles that
you like what is it that you can do
also setting the vibe essential oils
all that kind of stuff
on the next page
we have a november calendar
and i did not create one that is monday
start and i know that that probably
bothers some people so if you would like
for me to just make one real quick for
you guys that prefer monday start let me
know but really this is just a tool to
mark off the days so you have a five
step plan here same thing as last year i
just kind of changed to this wording a
little bit
step one mark off any days this month
that you won't be able to write so for
me i know that we're moving on the
second
the tenth i think again on the 16th the
19th we have several moves coming up in
the month of november and i don't know
that i'll be able to write on those
moving days or those might be lighter
days so i'm probably just going to go
ahead and mark all of those off so you
go ahead you mark them off step two
choose whether you want to add any
buffer days so if you know from
experience with nano or just your
experience in life that you get
migraines or that you often struggle
with
writing after a long day of work and you
have an unusual work schedule you know
you have exams and you're not sure if
you're going to write after exams
anything that might trip you up do you
want to build in buffer days meaning do
you want to plan to have extra days off
so that you don't get behind on your
goal
if you do
step three is to tally up your total
days off meaning your days you marked
off that you know you're not going to be
able to write because you have like i
said you're moving you've got
family obligations it's thanksgiving day
if you celebrate that here there's lots
of things that might be or let's say you
know you can't work on saturdays because
you can't write on saturdays because you
work a 12-hour shift if there's any days
you know you're not going to be able to
write mark those off add them to your
buffer days
then you tally it all up so let's say
you added
you added it all up and you had six days
that you weren't going to be able to
write in the month of november
it's so key to take your time into
consideration in a realistic manner so
if you thought you had 30 days according
to the nano website you need to write
1667 words per day
but if it turns out that you have six
days in the month that you're not going
to actually be able to write now instead
of 30 days which is 50 000 divided by 30
to get that 1667 goal per day
now you have 24 days to work with so now
instead of planning to write 1667 a day
in which case you're going to be six
days behind on your goal
you would take the 50 000 words and
divide it by 24 days so i can't do that
math in my head so i say 50 000
divided by 24 days tells you that you
actually need to be writing 2083 words a
day to hit your goal if you're going to
account for those six days off so what
you would do now is you would divide 50
000 words or your custom word count
target if you're trying to write 60 000
words you would take 60 000 here and
divide it by the number of writing days
so let's say your word count goal you
would write it in here
i'm going to write it in purple
say my word count goal is going to be
the 50 000 words
and then your total writing days this
month maybe it's 30 because you're
really going to write every day but
maybe it's only 24. and if it's 24 then
you say 50 000 divided by 24 and that's
going to give you a daily word count
target of
2083 words or because it's 83.3 you
could say 2084
per day
that is a more realistic way to look at
it in my opinion because if you planned
for the 1667 and you didn't plan for
these days off then you're gonna get to
day seven you're gonna be like oh my
gosh i'm already two days behind and
it's gonna start to feel like a panic or
like you can't do this and then you've
gotta have massive days
where you write like five six thousand
words a day and for some people that's
just not possible and that's why you've
lost nano in the past so
the fifth step is to use the word count
target sheets
to create your writing plan
so i have two of these here and i
explained this last year but i'm gonna
go through it again because i know that
it can be a little bit confusing
so basically you have two versions of
this one
version
is if you're writing fifteen 000 words
or if you're trying to write 50 000
words and you're going to write all 30
days and you just want to use the
nanowrimo targets so these are the
targets that will appear on the website
1667 per day and then the total is what
you should have cumulatively so by day
15 when you're in the middle you should
have 1667 for that day and then
2505 should be your total word count so
that tells you the daily target and then
the cumulative target the other thing
that you do when you work on this if
you're filling this out is you would say
day one 1667 words
my words this is how much you actually
wrote and the plus or minus for the day
is whether you got above or below your
word count goal so let's say you wrote
1667
that day you would write 1667 and you
would write zero because you were right
on target but let's say day two it was
1667 and you wrote 2 000 words then you
would go back into your calculator and
you would say 2000
minus 1667 which was your goal and you
would say plus 333 so that you could see
on this day you wrote 333 words above
your daily goal
then you've got the total cumulative
goal
daily goal cumulative goal
then your total so your total is adding
up what your total manuscript is so far
so like day three you're supposed to
have 5001 words written to stay on track
for your 50 000. so here if you had
written 6700 words you would put your
total of 6700 and that you're 1700 words
ahead and then any notes that you want
to make about
being proud of yourself or something you
did that helped you to get ahead or
something that happened that helped you
know sent you behind like oh i didn't
get to write today because my cat had to
go the emergency room let's hope that
doesn't happen to anybody but you know
you've got to write something like that
in so this is the targets that you'll
have according to nano but i also have
created a word count target for
if you want to create a different goal
other than 50 000
or
if you're doing the 50 000 words but
you're not going to write all 30 days
you would change those daily targets
because let's say i know that i'm moving
on november 2nd to a new airbnb so my
target for that day would be zero which
would change my total to still just
being that 2084 that i showed you but
then on day three i'm going to write
2084 words and then i'm going to have
try to have like 4 200 on day three so i
would fill that out according to my new
goals or let's say you were writing 60
000 words this month
and you had a bigger goal than the
regular and you're only writing 25 days
you would take your 60 000 words and
your 25 days from that previous
worksheet and you would find that you
have 2400 words a day
but that's not every day that's for 25
days so you would go through and you
would mark off the days that you know
you're not writing and put that as a
zero target hopefully that makes sense
if you guys want a
more specific walkthrough of this it's
in last year's nano stuff so i will link
to the video that has this work through
workbook walkthrough for you
this next one is just another like game
board for you that
has all 30 days and it has this game
board around the edges here that
is goes up to the 50k so when you finish
your first thousand words you can color
this in and you can make these in
different colors if you want what i like
to do is i usually don't use markers
though i use colored pencils and i'll
say okay day one i'll write in one color
day two if i wrote 3000 words i'd mark
that off in a different color so that i
could see when the thing was over like
my days chunked out of how many words i
wrote again this is one that you have
two different spots to list things you
have
your daily word count
and your cumulative word count
underneath each box it has the nanowrimo
cumulative word count so 1667 by day one
by day 15 you should have 25 000 and 5.
when you're filling this out what i like
to do is at the top
i put what i wrote today so if it was
1500 words that's today if my total for
the whole manuscript let's say that by
the time we get down to
day 15 i'm supposed to be at 2505
i would write
today i wrote 2 000 words cumulatively i
have 28 600 words
then i could compare that so above the
line says what you're you've written
today below the line is what you've
written total
and then you can fill out the game board
if you have a separate goal
from
you like like this one is it's not a 50
000 word goal let's say you were going
to try to write 80 000 words in the
month of november and you're crazy
but you could do it i know you can do it
there is another game board in the
resource library you look for the folder
that says nanowrimo and that one has one
that doesn't have any dates or anything
filled out on it so
you can use that instead if you'd like
this next part is new to this
year's preptober so this is a sprint
calculator
i love doing things like this you guys
may have seen me do this in some of my
other videos this has been really
helping me to help figure out how many
sprints i need to do to win nano or how
many sprints i need to do to finish my
book so this is math but it's helpful
math so let me show you quickly how to
fill it out you can read through this
and basically you can see that what
you're gonna need to do is you're gonna
figure out three things one
what's your typical sprint length so we
did an actually an entire five day
challenge on this called the word sprint
challenge if you
participated in that then you already
should know these things if you didn't
there is a five day challenge
both here on youtube so i'll link to
that as well that first video and inside
the resource library but basically what
we did is we tried out different times a
day
different sprint lengths so 10 minutes
15 minutes 30 minutes and you got to
collect that data and see what was the
best sprint time for you what's the most
efficient sprint time for you so you're
gonna need to know your typical sprint
length
if you like to do 20 minute sprints or
if you like to do 25 minute sprints
what's your preferred number
number two you're going to want to know
how many words you average in a typical
sprint so you should know that you do 20
minutes and
on average you're going to write 300
words in 20 minutes what's that average
if you don't know any of that stuff
there's some explanation here of how you
can figure that out but you could just
say you know what i want to sprint for
15 minutes at a time
and then do three 15-minute sprints and
then take the average and give that as
your average word count but you can
just read through this and you'll see
number three you're going to need to
know how many sprints you need per day
to hit your goal so all that's going to
play on the stuff that you filled out
earlier
so down here what's your preferred
sprint length for me it's usually 20
minutes or 25 minutes so i'll put you
know 20 minutes down here
what's your average word count per
sprint for me it's 650 words don't
compare yourself to anybody else though
for you it might be 200 or it might be
1200 or it might be 2 000 i don't know
everybody's going to have a different
word count there so there's no judgment
it's just knowing the data then how many
sprints do you need per day
this is where we get into some math so
you would take your daily word count
target remember how over here on this
november calendar
figured out
your daily word count target based on
your total
divided by the number of writing days
and i got 2084.
so what i would do here
is i would fill this out and i would say
okay my daily word count target is 2084.
my average word count per sprint like i
told you is 650 words so i'm gonna take
2084.
divided by
650
words
so that's telling me i'm going to need
3.2 sprints per day so i'm really going
to need
about four sprints per day if i want to
give myself a little bit of head i'm
gonna need about four sprints per day
but i could put three to four also
because some days if i get ahead i may
only need three so i'm going to need
between three and four sprints per day
on my writing days to hit my goal this
to me helps me because it's like now i
have a very specific target that i want
to hit when i get up if i don't feel
like writing i can look at that and be
like all i need is three sprints it's
going to be okay let me just sit down
and get one done right now i can do
another one after dinner and then
another one before bed and i'm done for
the day and that helps me to have that
concrete goal
now you have many other little things
here this first page is the example of
how you would fill it out and then the
second page is where you go to actually
fill it out
so for example
you've got those things
your total word count goal divided by
your total writing days gives you your
total target we did that already on the
november calendar
the next one is the daily word count
target divided by your average words per
sprint gives you the number of sprints
you need to do per day that's what we
just did on the previous page
now you've got a couple more things that
you can figure out
take the number of sprints per day let's
say it was five in this example
times your preferred sprint length plus
breaks so let's say i like to do 20
minutes with a 10 minute break that's a
30 minutes so i would say times 30
minutes
equals 150 that's going to give me my
desired writing time per day because i'm
doing five sprints of 30 minutes each
gives me 150 minutes so i know that in
order for me to hit my goals each day i
need to be able to create space in my
schedule for two and a half hours of
writing time
this is all gonna depend on your numbers
and it's gonna depend on how fast you
write obviously if you write really fast
and you can write a thousand words in 30
minutes then you can finish your nano in
an hour but for some of us we're only
going to be able to write 300 words or
200 words in 30 minutes so in order to
hit a 10 out or 10
10 times that for the day we're gonna
have to write for five full hours so
this is gonna let you know what's
realistic for you and how much time you
need to create in your space and how
much space you need to create in your
time schedule
the final thing to figure out here is
your total word count goal divided by
your average word count per sprint so
that's the 50 000 words divided by 450
average per sprint or whatever you put
on this little box in number two
and that's going to tell you how many
sprints you need to do on average to win
nano so you have how many you need to do
per day but you also need to know or you
can figure out using this math how many
sprints it's going to take to win the
whole month
and that can help because maybe you're
not somebody who's going to sit down and
write five per day
but you can do 10 on one saturday 10 on
another saturday and you can take those
112 and you can break them up if you're
a binge writer instead of someone who
sits down and wants to write 2000 words
every day maybe you're going to write 20
000 words on day one some people do that
so this kind of gives you a little bit
of extra data so here you have the empty
boxes to fill out on your own
now you have a word count tracker here
where it's this is basically your
sprints tracker so you can put your book
title and your daily target up here
remember it was like 2084 you put your
daily target up here
then the way you fill this out is these
are all numbered you've got 25 per
column so remember how in the previous
example i figured out that i would need
112
sprints to finish i could put a little
mark here that says like
yay this will be my goal you know this
will be my goal this is how many i want
to write and then i can see how close i
got i can treat it kind of like a game
how close did i get to guesstimating how
many sprints it would take me and then
it can feel really good if it only took
me 98
that kind of thing
so the way you fill this out is
you put in the first one you put what's
what you got for this sprint so if you
do five sprints a day you would have
five different entries for that day
then here you put the cumulative total
for the day and then here you put the
cumulative total for the month so this
is your daily sprints your daily total
your monthly total and you just keep
filling that out until you get to the
end of your sprints and if you wanted to
and you wanted to really make a plan
that you said okay day one i'm gonna do
ten sprints day two i'm gonna do another
ten but day three i'm gonna take the day
off day four i'm only going to write two
you could go ahead and put dates on
these as well out to the side
i only give you room for 150 sprints if
you end up needing more than 150 then
just print one again or you would find
that in your
in the resource library you have some of
these that don't that aren't numbered so
you could just print out one of those
and number it yourself
another quote page each day i move
closer to my dreams
then we have a rewards planner we have
this in the workbook last year but it
was just kind of different had some
banners and stuff this time it's just a
table that you can put in your rewards i
feel like we're going to talk about how
to build positive momentum but i feel
like having big rewards for yourself it
doesn't have to be expensive just
something that feels like a luxury like
an entire day of getting to play your
favorite game or for 20 000 words it
might be like ordering starbucks that
you have ubered to your house which is a
treat for you 30 000 words could be
something like that backpack you've been
eyeing a new set of pins whatever it is
but do something that's going to
motivate you and it doesn't have to be
financial doesn't have to cost anything
but the rewards can help you and if you
post this somewhere on your desk or on
your
wall it can just be that reminder that
oh my gosh once i hit that i can get
that reward for myself
okay another quotes page just right and
on the back i believe in myself
then you've got a list if you want to
have a list of tools from that checklist
that you want to buy and prep like i
need index cards i want to get some
colored post-its i want to get this this
and this you can write that out
and then this is something that is new
for this year as well so this is a meal
planner and we are going to have an
entire video based on this so i won't go
over it too much in detail here but
basically i'm going to show you how to
brainstorm different breakfast lunch
snack and dinner ideas
and plan out your meal plans so
here is where you would basically put
your favorite things if you like to have
a different breakfast every day of the
week you're going to need seven but for
most of us it's gonna be better to keep
it as simple as possible so we'll talk
about this in the meal planning video
and the rest almost the rest of this
planner is that tracker so basically
you're gonna plan out your breakfast
lunch and dinner for week one
and on the second part you're going to
use this weekly schedule separated into
30 minute blocks to plan out when you're
going to sprint now i
was talking about how some people on day
one
might actually go through and say okay
i'm gonna sprint
and i'm gonna do i only need to do five
but i'm gonna make it an epic day i'm
gonna do five in the morning and five in
the night and then color code those in
and look at your other schedule if you
want to you can fill in this entire
schedule with everything you have to do
so you could put i've got a doctor's
appointment here i've got to work from
this time to this time and that way you
can see where your available time is i
really recommend doing this with colored
pencils and kind of coloring in your
work time as one color your sprinting
time is one color when you're having
your meals as a different color now i
did not date these
so if you want to because we've got the
dates over here but if you want to you
could just put like the first the second
the third the fourth
fifth
sixth seventh i probably should have
dated them but i was um just trying to
get it done for you guys in time so feel
free to date those on your own but this
will give you an idea of when you're
going to do your sprints
alternatively instead of using it as a
planning tool what you could do is you
could use this as your sprint tracker so
that you could say from this time to
this time i wrote 200 words i wrote 500
words this week you know whatever and
you could write your sprints into this
grid
and you have week two
week three
week four and then week five of course
you only have monday and tuesday of
writing and then it's into december
then we're going to get into
pages again that there's going to be a
separate video on these pages which is
your brainstorming your ideas so next
week on thursday there's going to be a
video on
we already have a video here on the
channel about how to brainstorm story
ideas so i'm going to link that again
down below for you but on thursday we're
going to talk about how to come up with
ideas and then more importantly how to
choose which idea you're going to write
for nano so if you want to go ahead and
fill out the brainstorming of this you
can and if you already know what you're
going to write then that's awesome you
can start filling out this rough outline
if you want but we're going to have a
video on how to choose your idea and
then we're going to have another video
on how to create a rough outline and
we're going to do that on these two
sheets
and then
one of the final videos of the month for
preptober is going to be filling out
and creating your creativity toolbox so
feel free to read through this and start
filling it out but i am going to have an
entire video on that as well and then
there's one
final page that says do not disturb
author at work because whether you've
gotten something published or not you
are an author you are creator and you
deserve the time that you need to
indulge in your creativity this month so
i hope that you guys enjoyed this i know
there's some mathy kind of things and
there's pages that we're going to be
filling out throughout the month if
you're not subscribed go ahead and hit
that subscribe button so you can be here
for the rest of the videos on preptober
