National Novel Writer's Month

Personally, I'm unable to write unless my writing is linear, so what I do to keep myself motivated is pick a few pieces I really can't wait to write, and then *don't write a word of them.* If you keep them bubbling in your head like a good stew, they'll remind you roughly what direction you're going, but because they're the good, juicy bits you really want to savour, you won't get sick of them.

But then, that's just me.
