Nano: Stay the Course

We're coming up on the final week of Nanowrimo. Today's word count average is 40008 words. Traditionally, the last 10K are considered a downward slide to your win, so if you're on track, the next week should be glorious!

How do you stay motivated, especially if you're behind?

You remember you want to keep writing because you are committed.
You want to keep writing because you want to finish.

You are going to keep writing because everyone you told about Nanowrimo expects you to finish!

For me, it's knowing that I've already come this far. There's no way, after putting in all the effort I have already put in this month that I'm *not* finishing.


So stay the course. Stick with it. Fit in those extra writing sessions if you need them to catch up. Add in a crazy twist in those last 5K if you need something to give you a few extra thousand words. 

We're nearly there, folks, nearly time to celebrate our first drafts!
