NaNoWriMo Time Everyone!

Its NaNoWriMo time again. I want to wish all you brave people taking the challenge the best of luck with your writing. 50000 words in a month is a mighty task but remember it is achievable.
  • Try breaking your writing time into equal slots and take regular snacks.
  • Keep the water bottle on your desk.
  • 1667 words a day is required to reach the target.
  • Maybe aim for 500words in a sitting and then stop. Try another 500words and again a break etc.
  • By getting into a regular routine, your writing time will become a natural part of your day.
  • Keep away from the TV, its a guaranteed time waster!!
  • Find writing support with other fellow nanowrimo members and motivate each other.
So that's my tuppence worth fellow-writers and I really wish you all the very best. Do let me know how you all get on.
