The Big Day

So, Sunday is the big day.

Well, if you really want to get some words in, then Saturday night starting at midnight is the big day. I, personally, prefer sleeping at night, so Sunday is good enough for me.

The trick to NaNo is to write every day. You don't have to write a lot each day, or particularly well each day. Just writing each day is enough. One missed day tends to turn into two, two into a week, a week into a month, and so on. That's why it's important to get off to a good start. So on Sunday, open a new document (and save it!), and write a little something in it (and then save it again!). Doesn't have to be publishable. It doesn't even, strictly speaking, need to be a proper beginning. Just write anything, because anything is so much better than nothing.

Worry about the next day on Monday.
