~*It is here*~
In some parts of the globe, camp NaNo has begun! In other places, our harried hikers are calling for the clock to make haste, with their fingers inching towards paper and pen (or keyboard, alternatively).

This thread is basically a motivation thread, along with a scattering of helpful articles. Every so often we'll be posting tips and other things to encourage you to survive impeding forces (like the idea-drought, scene stuck-ups, and other writerley disasters that might plod your way this month). Our motto for this month is: 'Get your butt on your chair and write like a wildebeest'.
Alternatively, you can also take the motto to be: 'Asklsfdgh WRITE'.
You can find the club for camp NaNo here.
And for YOU, day zero-ers, never fear the apathetic haze of pre-NaNo! There's still a lot you can do to get your brain ticking in the few hours before it begins~
Use the time on your hands to good purpose. Writing a high fantasy novel? Get some worldbuilding in! Take a piece of paper and make a rough map, or just jot down a couple of descriptory phrases that could prove helpful in time of crisis. If your novel is set in an actual place, try to read up on it some more. Look at some pictures of your chosen place, or scroll through some touristy websites.
Chant an 'I can do it!' song to yourself. Get pumped up. Drink some coffee if you're planning to stay up all night
Figure out some last-minute details, like perspective and things you'll be wanting to keep consistent throughout the novel.
Doodle. (It helps!)
Good luck, everyone! And may the force be with you~
