Re: First time NaNo'er
Have fun!

One thing that can help is to do short writing sprints. Try out a few different time frames like 10 minutes, then do 20 minutes. If you have writing friends or are on networking sites, then challenge your buddies to sprints. The basic of a sprint is there is a time frame and you try to write as much as you can during that time.

I'm not much for hand writing, mostly because it hurts my hand, so I type every year. The one thing I need to work on and I would recommend is try not to obsess over the word count. Checking the count every couple of paragraphs doesn't help.
