For those of you who are doing NaNo this year, here are a few links:
No Plot? No Problem!: Chris Baty’s book on getting through NaNo. Hey, you still have time to run down to the bookstore and speed-read it before the 1st. 😀
Paperback Writer’s pre-NaNo checklist, with t’s crossed and i’s dotted. 😀 While you’re there, check out all the other entries in her NaNoWriMo tag.
This post on Query Tracker’s blog has more links.
And, as if trying to write 50,000 words in a month isn’t urgent enough (that’s over 1600 words a day!), you can create urgency by employing these simple and um… unconventional tactics. I would personally never use any of these, but hey, they’re good for a chuckle.
Can you come up with other ways to build urgency? I find a microwave timer beeping the end of the kids’ Quiet Times does wonders for me some days. 😀
