NANOWRIMO mid-way through the month.

This is the 3rd year that I have attempted to complete NANOWRIMO or National Novel writing month.  The goal 50,000 words in 30 days.  Current word count ______ to embarrassed to admit, but I have a solid plan to reach 50,000 by November 30th.  As 2010 draws to a close, I have done very little on the writing front and I am fighting procrastination and actually I am leaning towards self-publication in 2011.  Hopefully, I will be self-publishing my NANOWRIMO novel. As I fight my procrastination I am starting to utilize the To Do list to help encourage action.

Writing To Do List for 11/15/2010

  1. Complete Writing Goal of 5000 words.
  2. Start researching Self-publishing 
  3. Find a book to help me with Structuring my plots.
I am sure somewhere on my extensive bookshelf I have a book about plots.  The question is; will I find it or get lazy and buy a new one!

How do you overcome procrastination or writer's block?
