If you\u2019re participating and have been writing since November 1st, you\u2019re probably starting to feel the exhaustion and pressure of how much work NaNoWriMo really is, and if you\u2019ve decided to jump in late, you\u2019re probably strung out with stress. But part of that might not be related to your word count &#8211; it might be your writing spot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seasoned NaNoWriMo writers know that having a good writing space is key to your success (and mental health) during November. We asked some well-versed NaNoWriMo participants for suggestions on what they need for a positive writing space. Here are their tips and our favorite items for your NaNoWriMo writing nook:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Before You Write\u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A seasoned NaNoWriMo writer knows that distractions &#8211; even mundane ones that you\u2019d usually dread &#8211; become powerfully promiscuous in November. Even household chores start to look tantalizing when you have writer\u2019s block. \u201cI get the house as clean as I can before November so I don\u2019t procrastinate by cleaning,\u201d says veteran NaNoWriMo writer Mika. While it may be too late to clean before you start, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/ditch-or-donate-how-to-organize-your-home\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=nanowrimo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">de-cluttering and cleaning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> throughout November is a daily necessity before you sit down to write. Once everything is clean, you\u2019ll have no reason to stop writing once you\u2019ve started. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve cleaned from floor to ceiling and de-cluttered your home, you can focus on putting together your perfect writing space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Posture is Precious<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennifer, one of Seattle\u2019s Municipal Liaisons for NaNoWriMo 2017, keeps it simple: \u201c[You need an] ergonomic mouse, keyboard and chair.\u201d You may have heard of writer\u2019s neck, and it\u2019s no joke: writers are more likely to have severe back pain, especially if they\u2019re working a full-time job that also involves sitting for most of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quality ergonomic chair like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.costco.com\/247-High-Intensity-Use-Ergonomic-Chair.product.100033730.html\">this one<\/a> is made for constant usage, so you\u2019ll be comfortable writing in it long after November ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2237\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SwivelChair.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SwivelChair.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SwivelChair-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/SwivelChair-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure you want to invest in a fully ergonomic desk set? Elizabeth, who\u2019s participated in NaNoWriMo for over 10 years, knows there\u2019s a simplified version: \u201c[Just] make sure your chair and keyboard are ergonomically appropriate.\u201d A desk like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/catalog\/products\/S49084965\/\">IKEA\u2019s Skarsta<\/a>, which has adjustable height, is perfect for writers who may be taller or shorter than average. Bonus: you can adjust it to standing height, too &#8211; goodbye, blood clots!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2238\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/ikea-desk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>It\u2019s Lit (Now Keep it That Way)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re writing by hand or clicking away on your keyboard, staring at something for too long can become painful. \u201cProtect your eyes!\u201d Jennifer warns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re using your laptop, downloading an app like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/justgetflux.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">f.lux<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that filters out blue light is a good start. But good lighting is about more than just your laptop: your writing space should be bright enough to light your work, but not so bright that it hurts your eyes. An overarching lamp like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westelm.com\/products\/overarching-floor-lamp-antique-bronze-w890\/?pkey=cfloor-lamps\">this one<\/a> illuminates your entire writing space instead of simply spotlighting your desk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2239\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-1.31.15-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"412\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-1.31.15-PM.png 412w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-03-at-1.31.15-PM-240x300.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it\u2019s not just about the amount of lighting, explains Seattle-area participant Brittany. \u201cThe quality of the light is important. I love Christmas lights or candles or a salt lamp for ambiance. Fluorescent lighting kills things in a totally weird way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you can find traditional Christmas-colored lights are your local Target or Big Lots, you can find tons of high-quality, stylish lights that will look snazzy year-round at IKEA. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/us\/en\/catalog\/products\/70251919\/\">Ramsta purple crystal lights<\/a> add just the right amount of ambiance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2240\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/stringlights.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/stringlights.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/stringlights-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/stringlights-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Sound of Silence<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While having a beautiful and comfortable space is important, it\u2019s all but useless if you can\u2019t concentrate. If you live with your family, significant other, or roommates, or you just live on a busy street, you know how powerful (and annoying) distracting noises can be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elizabeth says that while good speakers aren\u2019t a necessity, they are a good bonus. Speakers that fit right into your bookshelf like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/polk-audio-5-1-4-bookshelf-speakers-pair-black\/8828012.p?skuId=8828012\">these<\/a> are perfect for fitting into your writing space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2241\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/speakingspeakers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"347\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sounds bars may be more expensive, but they typically take up less space and provide better sound, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/site\/sonos-playbar-soundbar-wireless-speaker-black-silver\/8028043.p?skuId=8028043\">this top-rated speaker<\/a> from Sonos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2242\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/speakerss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"84\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you prefer to write in silence, it might be worth investing in soundproofing panels. One over the window and another blocking the door could be enough to make your home as quiet as a library. Lowe\u2019s offers a variety of soundproofing solutions, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowes.com\/pd\/Auralex-ProMAX-Charcoal-Foam-Acoustic-Panel\/1000075291\">these portable panels<\/a> so you can move your writing space at will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2243\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/soundproof-panels.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/soundproof-panels.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/soundproof-panels-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/soundproof-panels-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/soundproof-panels-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Comfort for All<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">November is always stuck in that awful in-between temperature where you\u2019re not sure if you should turn on the heat or just suck it up and be a little chilly. If you\u2019re opting to stick it out, you\u2019ll want to make sure your writing space is long enough to stay productive &#8211; sweatshirts are good, but fuzzy blankets are better. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biglots.com\/product\/red-black-buffalo-check-plaid-sherpa-electric-throw\/p810356978?N=349451144&amp;pos=1:35\">This cozy electric blanket<\/a> will keep you warm through each scene and chapter you write.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2244\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/flannel-blanket.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/flannel-blanket.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/flannel-blanket-300x252.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don\u2019t forget that you may not be alone in your writing space! NaNoWriMo regular Stacia Leigh has one go-to for hers: \u201cA dog bed nearby, so everyone\u2019s cozy.\u201d \u00a0Your dog will be as comfy as you are in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.costco.com\/Kirkland-Signature-36%22-x-40%22-Pillow-Top-Orthopedic-Pet-Napper.product.100349388.html\">bed like this<\/a> &#8211; and they\u2019ll be close enough to give emotional support kisses if you hit writer\u2019s block.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2245\" src=\"https:\/\/dolly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/dog-bed.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More of a cat person?
