You'll have a lot of time after it to refine your story. NaNoWriMo is essentially writing a draft, not a final copy. Don't be afraid to write something that sounds ridiculous or forced, you can always fix it after you're done.

⊰ That's always the fun part. God forbid if I actually tried editing it, how much hacking and changing would be made. ⊱
What I like to do is type what i am currently working on in a seprate document. After finishing I am able to redo as much as I like at the current moment after which I copy and paste it into the actual NaNo file. After that I DO NOT TOUCH until december.

^.^ Good tip. My Nano is scattered- I started it hand-written in a notebook since my mom and brother were on the laptop and family pc. I have a few parts on google docs, even a few in my journal when google docs was being a butt on my phone. xd

I was just wondering about this as I was perusing the forum. Thanks for the info! I'm considering doing this at some point when school isn't eating my life.

exactly
its really important not to look back or second guess your work while being timed
leave the re-reading for next month
At the end of November I put mine aside for at least a month and try not to even think about it. The when I take it out to start editing and re-writing I am amazed at all the things that jump out at me.
What is this? I just clicked the forum to know : ) if you would be so kind

National Novel Writing Month. Every November people try to write a 50,000 word draft of a novel. It sounds hard, but plenty of people have done it before. They actually have a website, all you have to do is Google NaNoWriMo. They can probably expand upon my explanation.
