First day of NaNoWriMo!
I know a lot of people stay up until midnight on the first day in order to get a jump-start on their daily 1,667 wordcount. I almost never do; for I am old and I do love sleep.
In the past I've posted blurbs from my motivational write-a-novel-in-30-days books. This year, I'm not going to bother: if by now you haven't gone and bought those books yourself, then you're missing out. In particular, this one by NaNoWriMo founder Chris Baty, "No Plot? No Problem!"
Another useful tool has emerged in recent years - "Write Or Die" by DrWicked. I've used this tool a few times when I just need to get myself out of my own head and write the words. It's very motivating when that screen turns red.
Good luck to all the other WriMos out there. Let's get these books written!
