NaNo Rule #13: Go With The Flow
Last year and this year during NaNO I'm able to start my writing off straight away. I don't stare at a blank screen.
There is always an idea or a plan scribbled on my daily notecard so I know where I'm going for the day. Often I end at a part where I know I have a strong beginning for the next day. If the next line comes to me I write it down on my notecard for the next day. Otherwise, I just review my notes and do something mundane like wash the dishes or fold some laundry and then a starting sentence will come and I jump over to the computer and I just start typing.
Somehow this never transfers to my non-NaNo writing...
DAILY WORD COUNT: 1,958
TOTAL WORD COUNT: 22,330
