Are you having trouble with procrastinating? NaNoWriMo YWP to the rescue!
“Shut the internet off. Unplug your router. Disable the internet. How you be tempted to mess around on the internet when the internet isn’t there?” -icyowl97
“Set up a system. Write up to a certain number of words, then go on NaNo for 15/20 minutes..” -MorningTime4
“Get on the Word Wars and Writing Prompts thread [on the NaNo YWP site] and start a WW!” -Holly Alexandra
“Use the fullscreen option on Scrivener, or whatever other program you’re using.” -legostarwarsii
“I think that setting a goal of words to write and if you reach it, you get some free time.” -Miss Charlly
“Close all your tabs… right now… and open your writing. Look at the story and start writing a couple sentences, and you will probably get hooked on it. If that doesn’t work, get a package of small candies like gummy bears or Junior Mints or something and give yourself one for every page/every 100 words/every whatever your milestone is going to be. Or try writing for 20 minutes or ten minutes or whatever, and then taking a break that is half that long.” -TheNextBestsellerGirl
“Another fun way to stay motivated is to use a program like Written? Kitten! or Write Or Die, both of which are available for free online. With Written? Kitten! You get rewarded every certain amount of words with a cute picture, and with Write Or Die, you get a ‘punishment’ (such as an unpleasant noise playing or your writing undoing itself, depending on what mode you choose) if you don’t write quickly enough. Word Wars really help, too, especially if you are competitive and like trying to win things.” -animalgirlsmagazine
