In any case, I hope you have fun. <br /><br />NANOWRIMO has never seemed right for me; in my case, it's not putting words on the page that is hard for me, it's sticking past the first draft and still loving the story in the second or third or twentieth draft. But I'm sitting here with my pompoms waiting to cheer on all you brave souls.Sabrina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218305456791199409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-65648824214955936522012-10-11T12:49:27.824-07:002012-10-11T12:49:27.824-07:00Thank you, Susan.

I finished once, and I think the most important thing I learned is that, for me, I don't write well like that. OTOH, look at Sheena's recent post. That was a Nano story, so - wow - amazing things can happen!<br />Much luck to you. You'll have a lot of fun.

Restrictive thinking, right there, ladies and gents).<br /><br />But I am a glutton for punishment as it were, and the voices in my head might chivy me into doing NaNo this year.<br /><br />The only piece of advice I can think of is that 1660 words are much more easily written in chunks - meaning that getting up and hour early can do wonders to your schedule. Plus it won't disturb your sleep schedule, so you won't fall asleep while in the middle of wri Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705496652945481096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-54933277025099337672012-10-08T13:51:19.764-07:002012-10-08T13:51:19.764-07:00(I won't tell anyone you cheated if you don...(I won't tell anyone you cheated if you don't...wait, people are reading this.

No brilliant plot ideas are forthcoming, and I've got a manuscript I'd really like to chuck out the window and start over on...the problem is that the rules say it has to be something NEW.

I also recommend the Write Or Die writing motivator. If you spend too long not typing, it... uh... motivates you. There is a free version to use online, but it's also cheap to buy.<br /><br />Setting it for one hour and a thousand words is my favorite gig.
