NaNoWriMo

Here's some creative writing advice I thought I would pass along to anyone who wants it:

Day 2 of NaNoWriMo was not especially productive for me either, but at least I wrote something.

It sounds very interesting!

Is anyone using any special software for Nano?

I use Evernote for most of my writing these days. For nanowrimo, when word count is everything and editing is strongly discouraged, iA Writer or something like it is perfect.

One little trick that I've developed to discourage going back and revising and to just keep chugging ahead is to save each day's writing as a separate text file and not go back and read it, or, if I must reread it, only read the previous day's writing, almost like I'm playing the "exquisite corpse" game with myself.

How's everyone doing with their NaNoWriMo projects? Mine is...kind of on indefinite hiatus.

I'm hanging in there at 26k. I think I'm going to finish the month on a different project before I burn out.

Sorry to hear it's not working out for you, and any others. A lot of people seem to be letting it go after giving it a good try, so at least they'll walk away with something written.

I won this year. Filled the last few words with things I would not rather write, but well, there is the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat

I guess this is sort of a once-in-a-lifetime-experience. Great to have written a novella which comes rather close to my heart, the experience is mostly good

To all: wait til' next year!

I Love Love Love NaNoWriMo. I do it every year, but I have yet to win.
