I am also in good company as a few writers from my online writer group are involved. There's nothing like some healthy competition and great support to see you through the long days of staring at a screen!
Plus, other must-haves are a good supply of coffee, some upbeat music and biscuits.
Oh well. At least I should have 50,000 words down on the first draft of my second novel. Now, that's a great thought.
I wish everyone who is taking part a massive GOOD LUCK. There are numerous articles on the NanoWriMo site and on Twitter to inspire and motivate, as well as the likes of Nano Sprints which gives prompts and encourages you to write for a set number of minutes then post how you did.
So, no excuses...
See you on the other side :)
