NaNoWriMo QuickStart 10: Ready for takeoff?

In a few short days, you'll spend a month writing your novel.

Here are some long-project writing tips to help you to cruise through the month:

* Make writing your daily stint the FIRST thing you do each day (well, after the obvious comfort chores.) Get to your computer BEFORE you dress, while you're still close to your subconscious mind - in that not-quite-awake state;

* Read your writing before you go to sleep. Reading what you've already written allows your subconscious to work on your story as you sleep;

* Carry a small notebook with you throughout the day, so you can write down any sudden inspirations;

* Just WRITE. Forget your inner critic. You can bring your critic back after your NaNoWriMo stint;

* Remember to make writing fun for yourself. Write only what's FUN for you to write. Having fun is vital: if you bore yourself, you'll bore readers.

Good luck! :-)
