nanowrimo

So, I've been thinking about doing NaNoWriMo this year. I attempted it once before, a few years ago, and didn't finish but it was good practice.

I have the time, I have the story, I just need the discipline. Depression has been kicking me in the arse lately, so a daily discipline would be a good thing, I think.

Any advice from those of you who've done it before? Helpful hints would be appreciated! Wish me luck!

What helps me is not trying to cram all the words of the day into one writing session. I write a little bit here, a little bit there. It adds up.

Keeping the story as the guiding light, and not the number of words that need to be written, helps, too, I've found.

I'm waving ::pom poms: for you! Go! Go! Go!

Thank you! I'm trying not to get bogged down by word count. I'm more into getting a scene down than getting a certain number of words. :)
