We are blazing through National Novel Writing Month<\/a> (NaNoWriMo)! Unfortunately, I am NOT blazing through my actual manuscript and am, in fact, about 20,000 words away from par. Word crawls are pretty helpful tools to boost word count, so I decided to procrastinate on my novel writing and write a word crawl instead! (Hmm, should I count the word crawl words themselves towards my NaNoWriMo goal? I don’t think it really counts…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forums at NaNoWriMo are down indefinitely (you can head there yourself for the reasoning if you like), so I’m going to post my word crawl here. This is the first one I’ve done, so I would greatly appreciate feedback. It’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a>-themed, and I hope you love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren’t familiar with word crawls, they are little stories with writing goals mixed in. You can play along at your own pace as there is no time limit here (some word crawls DO have time limits). Go through the scenario, follow the instructions, and you should come out at the end with a decent chunk of new writing. I’d love to hear what options you picked, especially how you spent your Nook Miles at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now without further ado, here’s the word crawl. Writing tasks are bolded. Happy writing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Word Crawl<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for letting me visit your beautiful island with a Dodo Code.\u00a0 Write for 5 minutes<\/strong> while you give me the grand tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019re done with the grand tour, I want to recap a little bit.  But first, how many words did you write during the tour?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 0-50: 100 Nook Miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 51-100: 150 Nook Miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 101-200: 200 Nook Miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 201-300: 300 Nook Miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 301+: 350 Nook Miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Wait, you ask.  What do I use Nook Miles for?  Great question!  You\u2019ll use your Nook Miles to make choices, get bonuses, select activities, etc.  To see what I mean, check this out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Something looks delicious! What\u2019s your native fruit? Pick one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Peaches \u2013 redeem 20 Nook Miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    • Cherries – redeem 20 Nook Miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pears – redeem 20 Nook Miles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Apples – redeem 20 Nook Miles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Those options all have the same value, but sometimes, different options will have different Nook Mile requirements.  These values are based on my personal and highly arbitrary opinions.  Like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Something smells amazing!\u00a0 What\u2019s your native flower? Pick one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n

            Activity Options (each activity has a different color for a background, so they’re easier to keep separate – at least, for me):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      • Change the island’s theme song – write 150 words<\/strong> while you adjust the little frog faces (or while you look up what other people have done online which I hope is totally valid because that is absolutely what I did).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
