   Try listening to music while writing. It can help block out distractions. If lyrics are distracting, try instrumental music.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I’m going with Quite the Opposite for right now because I really like the sound of that title. It may change about a million more times between now and the end of the novel. :)

Check out my profile here if you’re interested.

I still haven’t really figured out how to work it and I don’t know if you can add friends, but if you want to (if you can!) feel free to add me, or keep up with my progress.

I’m just short of 10,000 words already. I’ve been playing around with the idea for a long time, so now that I’m challenging myself to write it, the words are sort of flowing out pretty well. I’m not really worrying about grammar or whether the sentences make a whole lot of sense — there will be plenty of time to edit.

This is a huge challenge for me because I usually sit and freak out about one paragraph for HOURS. I’m not even kidding. I’m awful. I write and go back and revise that one sentence over and over and over again. With this time constraint, I’m essentially teaching myself how to write a novel all over again.

I’ve finished three novels before, though never during NaNoWriMo. I’ve tried a few times and have failed miserably. I’m hoping this will be different. I’m determined to try harder, too.

So for any of you NaNo conquerors, any suggestions or tips?

Oh, also I have no idea for a title for my work. So any suggestions if you read the really short (and sucky) summary would be lovely.
