NaNoWriMo 2010 Is Here!

BEX: W00t! So last I checked I had about 700+ words so far. I'm going to try and get at least 1600 tonight before bed so that I can at least be on track!
I decided to write about a college student's first year at college and how she is writing a guide on surviving college! How exciting for me! I've got my epic music on, and I've got my Google doc open so I can even write at school! =)
So my NaNo tip is this- if you're using a computer make sure you back your novel up EVERYWHERE. If you have a flash drive back it up on there. save it to your word docs, save it to google docs, email it to yourself. DON'T LET A TRAGIC COMPUTER ACCIDENT ERASE YOUR NOVEL! scary stuff that is!
Anyways, back to my writing! 50k here I come!

NAO: HaHA! It's finally here! I'm getting a little pumped now, but I'm still lacking in terms of story plot. I've just started and I only have a max of 455 words so far. I might continue more later tonight, but for now I'm at a point in the story where I don't feel like writing any more. So, I've heard that if you want to reach 50,000 words by the end of 30 days, if you can write 1,667 words every day for a month you will reach your goal. I haven't done the math for myself, so I don't know if that's the exact word count, but I'm going to try it out. Last year I just wrote when I could and didn't pay attention that much to the days that passed by, and there were times where I didn't write at all. Maybe if I stick to a schedule I'll actually finish this time. Well, only time will tell.
