Or let the words flow through your fingertips and onto the page. Today is a good day to write and when you think you are done write a little more. If you are doing Nano every little bit will help you get to your goal.
What is your word count today?

This is a great quote on a normal day, but especially so this month. Focus on the writing, get words on the page. Write with abandon, banish your critic to a galaxy far, far away. Listen to your gut, focus on your instinct, invoke your muse.

Participating in NaNo is one way to step outside your comfort zone. But you don’t have to go to NaNo extremes to make progress. It might be as simple as trying a different format or writing in a new location, or perhaps setting a timer while you write.
What will you do today to mix it up?

Today is the first day of my 30-day sprint to 50,000 words. The warning sign is taped to my door, I have done my finger warm-up exercises and I am ready to write. There is one thing I keep wondering: When is lunch?
How many words will you write today?

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is ready to provide a little horror straight out of your dreams on this Halloween. I hope you find time to indulge in some trick or treating, a bit of candy and a Movie Macabre.
Happy Halloween.

It is that time of year again. NaNoWriMo will start in 48 hours on November 1st. The goal is 50.000 words written in the 30 days of November or 1,667 words each day. I seldom have a time block to write 2,000 words.
Employing more math, I broke it down to work for me. In a 20-minute writing session, I can write an average of 800 words. If I allow a cushion of say 650 words in 20 minutes, it means I need to schedule 77, 20 minutes sessions to reach the 50,000 words. The math works out to 2 or 3 sessions per day.
If you are doing NaNoWriMo, what is your plan to reach the goal?

Ah, the planets and stars are aligned, and they portend great swaths of uninterrupted writing time. I am excited the week will start on such an auspicious day. Don’t come looking for me, my phone will be silenced, social media too, and the house will be empty except for the sounds of fingers pressing keyboard keys. The coffee pot will brew steaming cups of inspiration at my command.
I need to arrange these days more frequently.
Are you able to carve a little writing time today?

Writing is a wonderful challenge and an exciting adventure. The stories that surface surprise me and I am thrilled when they connect with a reader. I love when a story I have carried for years materializes on the page and becomes more than a memory.
What will you write today?

This quote describes me well. I tend to be a very solitary individual, content to spend hours alone at my keyboard, clickety-clacking away.
But time alone must be balanced with the rest of the world.
What activities do you engage in to provide balance to your writing time?

Today is a new beginning. The rising sun wakes us, prompting us to engage in our morning rituals. One morning ritual is reviewing what I want to accomplish before I must return to sleep. Excitement grows. Today all things are possible, and motivation emanates from that excitement.
Motivation can be created. The question is how? Do we create excitement about a project? A sense of responsibility? Desire?
What is the trigger for your motivations?
