April 1st was a very busy day for me, Tuesdays generally are, and I had trouble finding time to write. Things have sort of smoothed out a bit, thought today I am feeling exceptionaly lazy

Ryadian wrote: I followed someone's suggestion--I believe someone posted this idea in last year's NaNo thread--of front-loading your bigger goals towards the beginning of the month, so that you write more before you start running out of energy.

stargazer wrote:My NaNo stories are part of a continuing series, so I've noticed that if I take a break from writing (as I've done recently), I can get confused as to some past events in my stories and may end up writing things that contradict past canon events. Skimming some of my past stories (resisting the urge to further edit!) can help this, and may encourage me to write again. And I've made a list of major and incidental characters to help me remember who is who.

aileth wrote:As far as I can tell (here speaks ignorance) a word war is just two or more people having a little competition to see who can get down the most words in a specified time.

The next one seems to be following the same course. I've got too many ideas; I've got to speed it up. So NaNoWriMo it is. I hope
