nanowrimo_ljIs anyone else struggling with a diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder and trying to do NaNo? How about completely paralyzed by plot holes? I was stuck on a particular part of my novel last night so when I went to bed I made the mistake of talking about it with MY STUPID HUSBAND, hoping he would help talk me through it. Instead (completely unintentionally, I know... he doesn't quite get that NaNo is supposed to be quantity over quality) he pointed out all of my OTHER plot holes.
Now that anxiety disorder is kicking in, the same one that makes all other decisions impossible, and I'm really struggling to write a single word.
What do you do to get past it?

Date: 2009-11-03 05:52 pm (UTC)I just keep on telling myself that NaNo is all about quantity over quality. Don't worry about your plot holes right now - just keep chugging along! I know it's hard to do, but try and leave figuring out things like that for the editing stage.
People above me have made some really great suggestions, so I don't have much to add on that front. Just wanted to say I sympathize, and good luck to you!
