I think besides the ‘Write or Die’ tool one of the best things I’ve done zo far is not to calculate. Because when I calculate how much words I have to write every single day until I meet the 50k goal on November the 30th, I kind of paralize. It’s demotivating. Instead of this I [...]

NaNo Day 16 – Talking to me?
Finally day 16 of NaNoWriMo is over and I can’t wait to make my next video public. Just like yesterday it is uploading to Viddler while I am sitting here and write these post. For my followers I hope they don’t read my blog before they saw the video, because my wordcount is shown in [...]
Day 15 of NaNoWriMo
Today I made a very short update video regarding my wordcount. The reason is that I used my sparetime today to write on my novel, like I should have done earlier this month. I learned that for me the best use of the ‘Write or Die’- tool is when I choose to write 300 words [...]
NaNo Restart
[/caption] If NaNo wouldn’t have been a challenge until now, than it finally would be (and is) right now. Especially when you look at the wordcounts of all the fellow NaNo-writers. Not surprisingly SaintJoi and Gamwyn have surpassed everybody else with a wordcount from hell. That would be the point of saying: ‘Ok guys, you [...]

Let The Craziness Begin
I just got e-mail van the Benelux-team of NaNoWriMo that I officially may start with my novel. It’s now a quarter past one here in the Netherlands and I am positive that I just can begin writing a story without any problem. Just start and see whats happening. No problem in fact, even though I [...]
NaNoWriMo Horror!
Just a couple of days to go and I still have no clue what to write. But I would not be Mario if I wouldn’t find a solution for this. Maybe it’s an addiction to the Law of Parkinson (read ‘The 4 hour Work Week’ about it) that makes me procrastinate things to the last [...]
Ready For Take Off
Today I finally took the definitive step and booked my flight to New York. From November 3 until November 9 I will visit Ilaria a.k.a. Swimturtle in Brooklyn to work together. Besides working, we also planned to keep an eye on each other’s NaNoWriMo activities. As I have no plot yet, I consider working on [...]
