We’re wrapping up the first week of November, so we hope that the words are flowing freely and everyone is hitting their goals! Still, we wanted to inspire and encourage you with a new collection of writer badges.
Based on a suggestion by one of our community members, I created this set of badges that you can award yourself after writing specific scenes or in special circumstances. There are badges for betrayals, breakups, first kisses and more. There’s no requirement to collect them all, but we encourage you to be creative and use these badges as inspiration.
A few times that I’ve participated in NaNoWriMo, I’ve had friends suggest random events and plot lines to me when I’m stuck. Some of my favorite scenes came from writing around these constraints. If you’re feeling stuck, feel free to use one or a few of these badges as inspiration for a scene. You might be pleasantly surprised with the result.
You can download this set of badges on the Writer Swag page. As with the other badges, feel free to use them on social media or anywhere else you’d like to share your progress and hold yourself accountable. Keep writing to earn them all!
