November is here, which means fall is in the air and people all over the world are trying to write a novel in just one month! That\u2019s right, November is National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo<\/a>, for those in the know!)\u00a0 You can even sign up as a young writer<\/a> if you\u2019re under 18! \u00a0The goal of NaNoWriMo is to get you to flex those creative muscles and really commit to a writing project.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re swamped at school or just\u00a0completed a big move<\/a>\u00a0to a new area, NaNoWriMo is a commitment that can fit into your schedule!\u00a0But all that time spent hunched over your desk can teach you some bad habits! Here are some ideas to keep yourself in tip-top NaNoWriMo shape while you work at your desk!<\/p>\n\n

NaNoWriMo Fitness<\/h2>\n

During NaNoWriMo (or any month, really!), the more you flex your creative\u00a0muscles, the less you\u2019re flexing all your other muscles! It\u2019s important to remember your body whether you\u2019re doing NaNoWriMo or cramming for a test. Before tackling NaNoWriMo or any other computer project, make sure you\u00a0adjust your work space<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yoga is a great way to keep the body flexible and the mind active. Try some of these\u00a0poses you can do at your desk<\/a>\u00a0while you experience NaNoWriMo! \u00a0And if you get so caught up in NaNoWriMo that you forget, try these poses to\u00a0undo the damage of NaNoWriMo\u00a0<\/a>or any desk job!<\/p>\n

NaNoWriMo Hydration<\/h2>\n

Your first instinct while doing NaNoWriMo is to get a cup of coffee or a soda \u2013 anything full of energy giving caffeine! \u2013 and keep \u2018em coming. But the truth is, all that caffeine is actually hurting your ability to focus, not helping it. Instead, pour a tall glass of water and keep your body hydrated. Water is the liquid that really fuels our bodies<\/a>, increasing your thought process, creativity, and critical thinking skills for NaNoWriMo or any time of year! If you’re really desperate for some extra NaNoWriMo fuel, try some fresh fruit for a natural sugar rush!<\/p>\n

NaNoWriMo Fun<\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

It can be difficult to remember when we\u2019re hard at work, but we should enjoy ourselves! Yes, work is work, but whether you\u2019re studying for a midterm or trying to crack the last ten thousand words for your NaNoWriMo, it\u2019s important to recharge your battery for a few minutes. Watch a single (one!) video <\/a>on YouTube or spend five (only five!) minutes to play with your dog. Then get back to work, because no one will finish your NaNoWriMo for you, and there is nothing more fun at the end of November than a completed NaNoWriMo project!<\/p>\n\n

Have you ever done NaNoWriMo before? What was your favorite NaNoWriMo project?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
