Ready or not, it's NaNo Time
**** First off I start each writing day with prayer. If you're interested you can use something like the prayer found on Debby Giusti's site.
1. Write each day
2. Minimum daily word count goal 1667 (I believe Julie mentioned this too)
3. Write in small spurts, four sittings at 500 words a piece will do wonders.
4. If possible get a head of the game. Shoot for 2000 words a day.
5. Don't expect to get all your writing in on the weekends.
6. For those who are the main meal cooks of the house utilize the crockpot. Great blog with tons of easy crockpot recipes.
7. Make sure you have healthy, ready snacks available. We tend to munch while we're writing.
8. Don't forget to save your work.
9. You can utilize Write or Die It works to get the words on the page. The genorator is found on the right hand side bar. Type in your projected word count and your time. On your mark, set, go!
10. Take a few moments to review your plot notes and/or words you wrote the day before.
11. If you're in constant editing mode like me, DO NOT change anything, if you see things that need to be changed, use your insert comments to make yourself a note and press forward.
12. Drink lots of water to balance out all that caffeine.
13. Most of all have fun.
***End the day with praising God for the wonderful day of writing.
Don't forget to grab your cool little NaNo buttons and word count widgets. Well, the little word count widgets aren't available yet but you can find some here.
Happy Tuesday,
Christina
