NaNoWriMo

Here is a list of things you should not be doing if you would like to do well during the insane writing flurry that is National Novel Writing Month (in no particular order):

  1. Read about how to write
  2. Play online games (like FETD 2 @ Casual Collective)
  3. Neglect your blog
  4. Spend too much time maintaining your blog
  5. Nap
  6. Drink too much caffeine (the crash hurts)
  7. Don’t drink enough caffeine (see #5)
  8. Forget to feed your cat
  9. Watch movies (time suck)
  10. Look at other people’s word count if you are prone to Word Count Envy
  11. Neglect the NaNoWriMo Forums
  12. Spend too much time at the NaNoWriMo Forums
  13. Forget to attend a write-in where caffeine is present (see #7)
  14. Edit (I’m stealing your Backspace keys if you do)
  15. Read this list instead of writing.

Now go, shoo! Write!
