I've forgotten my log in.

*smacks head*

I knew I should write all my log ins down somewhere.

You're doing great, Irish. I liked what you wrote. I think mine, once I get in there, will pretty much just be free form thinking, basically. I don't have the dedication and discipline necessary for structured writing.

Maybe I can get away with doing a book of poetry...

Wow I guess I do have some catchingup to do! Sounds like fun.

I don't do NaNoWriMo but I have taught a workshop during it to help folks get that 50K out.

Here's a tip for today.

If you think you are stuck, you aren't. Just skip to another scene.

There is no one reading this over your shoulder.

There is no Great Big Mean Writer's Rule that says you must write the book in order. Many famous bestsellers write scenes as they come and then piece them back in later.

So stop worrying about being stuck. Leave that scene where it is. Start another one.

Thanks for posting Arwen!!!!! Brilliant!

Here's today's NaNoWriMo I'm Stuck tip.

When you hit a point where you hate your story or your characters or yourself (lol), go to Google.

Type in something about your character and search in images. Then write a scene about that image for your character.

Remember, this is about word count and moving forward. When you get to the end of this month, you are going to start adding and removing stuff from your ms (manuscript).

So if you get stuck, think in pictures!
