Novelist Agreement

I watched one of the NaNo Prep Webcast videos (How to Write a Novel this November) and did the first writing exercise, which was writing a novelist agreement.  I'm putting it here to remind me and so I can't say I lost it. :-)  Hard to believe it took 5 minutes to write this!

Novelist Agreement

I will write 50,000 words during the month of November. I won't let my inner editor interfere. When writer's block strikes I'll write possible plot points and cliff hangers and quirks until I'm inspired to return to my novel. I will write in multiple short sprints instead of one big chunk each day so I don't put it off or get overwhelmed.  I'll especially focus on not eating sugar and getting ample sleep. I'll keep track of when there are write-ins and participate when possible.

I'll see this as an act of nurturing and self-care for my creative self.
