Best NaNoWriMo Advice I Have

Post your word count every day. Then you can look at your profile and delight in the geometric progression of it. If you're tempted to take a day off you won't because you don't want the bars to stay the same from day to day.

Two years ago I took the weekend off to go to Fiddler's Green and came home and never got back into the swing of my book. I decided it was too good for NaNoWriMo, it shouldn't be rushed and stopped trying to write a crappy first draft.

I think if I'd known I could post daily word counts I'd have finished. As it is the project is still in limbo, still waiting for a quality first draft. Lesson learned.
