I need sleep, lots and lots of sleep. I’m so out of focus and keep mixing things up. So here’s some advice for you people taking part in this…sleep is important. So make sure that you don’t mess up your sleeping scheduling with your novel, or at least don’t keep replacing it too many times. Or else you’ll get like me and feel like your head might explode and start to dislike your novel/writing in general.
Also, what’s funny is that when I decide to start working on my novel for some strange reason all my friends decide that they want to talk to me at that time too.

They tempt me with their distractions. But if you have friends that interrupt you don’t be afraid to get them involve in what you’re doing. Ask them to help encourage you (or have them nag you to death/push you to keep going) or for their opinions about the characters/plot/what should be done next, ask them what else do they think you should be added on, what do they think the story is headed to? Asking them questions dealing with your novel helps give you see in new perspective because they see from a readers’ perspective. They might help give you new ideas, idea that can help you write your novel smoothly.
It also helps to get your family involve. Tell them your goal and they’ll be encouraging and possible be much nicer to you (like not bothering you when you’re on the computer) or something. They could very much award you with a prize if you complete this. I’ve heard that for some people they made a bet with friends/family of $100 if they win NaNoWriMo (and if they lose, they either lose that much money or not gain anything but it depends on the deal) or they’ll get a prize such as a video game system, laptop, ipod, iphone, tv, a handheld video game player, and so on. It’s pretty cool because it’s gives a person more incentive to win.
But so far, I’m lacking encouragement and motivation. Right now I’m not doing to good and I don’t think I’ll be able to make it.
My last piece of advice…typing hard does not make you write faster. -_-’ It only makes your fingers hurt and become painful. >_>
