The anquish of NaNoWriMo

Nov 30, 2008 18:31

As the more perceptive of you may already have noticed, NaNoWriMo ends today. Unfortunately, this year I was a bit lacking in words (again!), with a sum total of 17,353. The good thing is, there are absolutely no fillers in that count, and it still is longer than my last attempt, which had.

Anyhow, here's my most important tips for the next year's competition:
  • Plan ahead. The first 10k you can write from scratch, but you'll run dry soon after.
  • Take time. Don't start a new job or anything that alters your daily life. (I did, and was unable to write for most of the past two weeks).
