Don't think, write!

If you think you are a writer, you are a writer.  But chances are you are less productive than you want to be.  Sometime you need some motivation to get some words on the page.  Maybe you need inspiration and ideas.  There are friends out there, waiting to help!

Procrastinating Writers provides guidance for writers who struggle to get started.  Go ahead and try to find an excuse they have never heard before. Make a list! I dare you.  But while you are pondering the list, take a look at the articles and tips they offer. 

I tend to work best under preasure.  Since I don't have an editor begging me for a manuscript, I have to find other means of motivation.  Consider the possibility of writing a novel in just 30 days! Every year thousands of authors participate in Nanowrimo,  thirty days and nights of literary abandon. From November 1 to November 30 you, too, could create a great literary masterpiece.  Or at least a manuscript of 50,000 words.  You sign up. They provide inspiration, plot generating ideas, and moral support.  There are lots of local groups that sponsor "write-ins" so if you like to write socially, now you can.

I hope you dream an elaborate and fanciful plot tonight, and then take November to craft it into a novel.  Let me know if you do!
