My 16 Rules for NaNoWriMo
- Don’t forget to set the clock back. Sleep in anyway.
- Keep the half dozen commitments already in place for this weekend AND rock the word count on Sunday.
- Show no fear.
- Chain notebook to side for the duration.
- Eat at least twice a day.
- Let husband see my eyeballs periodically…when not glazed over.
- Do not miss sleep, do not keep late hours, or do not pass go and collect $200.
- Keep writing even as the nurses come to take me to surgery on the 16th. Ask nurse or spouse for pen and paper at first waking moment. Skip the pain meds.
- On second thought, take the pain meds. Don’t read what they produce until December.
- Remember to wash clothes at least once a week.
- Refrain from calling employees by character names. It upsets them and could result in a fancy white jacket with really long sleeves. And buckles. In the back.
- Recovery from surgery combined with absorption with notebook will produce natural dieting behavior. Take advantage of it.
- No nicotine this year. Beware. Wear a warning beacon. Equip with claxon to avoid injury to others. DO NOT START SMOKING AGAIN.
- Spend Saturday either itching to write or distracting myself.
- Spend Sunday doing all the things I could have done Saturday.
- Buckle in, belt up, and hang on. Here we go~
