Camp NaNoWriMo is just over two days away, and since our minds are racing at top speed trying to tie up our outlines, it is easy to forget other last minute things that NEED to get done before sitting down to write. Here is your ultimate Camp NaNoWriMo checklist and I hope it helps!

• Finish Your Outline! – This is an obvious one, but it is the most important one. Even if you are a panster, have some sort of idea of how you are getting from point A to point B so you won’t waste writing time trying to think about what happens next.
• CLEAN Your Writing Space(s) – On June 30 take however long it takes to completely clean and organize the places you like to write. I will be clearing my desk, organizing all the scattered papers and pens in my drawers, and leaving out my outline so I can easily refer to it while writing! If you write in multiple places, make sure they are all tidy so you don’t waste precious writing time trying to clean them up. This goes for your home in general! It is hard to write surrounded by mess so take the day to deep clean because you won’t want to spend time doing so when you should be writing.
• Gather Your Writing Snacks/Drinks – Again, the day before, buy all of your writing snacks and drinks so that they are ready for you as the clock strikes midnight…or whenever you decide to start writing on July 1st! For me, I will be making sure I have a lot of green tea and coffee because apart from water, that is all I drink!
• Gather Up Your Motivation – By this I mean to figure out what motivates you to write, whether that is a certain book, writing related YouTube videos, or even listening to a writing podcast. Whatever it is that replenishes your creativity and motivation to write, have it at your fingertips for whenever you find yourself needing it. For me, I will be making a YouTube playlist of certain vlogs and videos that inspire me to write!
• Follow @NaNoWordSprints on Twitter – This is an account that is active during Camp NaNoWriMo and NaNoWriMo that offers writing sprints for you to partake in. They range anywhere from maybe 15 minutes to an entire hour, and are usually happening at any point in the day for you to jump in. I am always very productive during these writing sprints, and I really recommend giving them a try!

There is your Camp NaNoWriMo checklist so make sure you get everything on this list done! Comment below what project(s) you will be working on during July, and what your goals are as well, because I would love to know 🙂
