Thanks so much for the timely reminder. I’m kind of doing NaNo by default as my next ms is due to my editor by 1 December so I have printed out your list and I will abide by it. Especially the exercises as I tend to build up a lot of pain and tension in my body toward the end of a book.

All the best to everyone participating!

So it begins….love yourself, love your body, love your work. You can do it!

I can’t wait to get started!

These are wonderful tips! About a quarter of the way through reading them, I bookmarked this page. I will definitely be coming back throughout November (and I’m definitely retweeting you on Twitter)!

Good luck to you and everyone else participating!

These are great suggestions. I’m not doing NaNo, either, but working to build good work habits for throughout the year.

Still, with both the book and the blog, I can easily become “the ghost in the machine.” Exercise has slipped through the cracks. Thanks for reminding me that it can’t.

I guess my bathroom won’t be sparkling fresh the month of Nov. Can only do so much, LOL!

These are great tips, especially the stretches. I just tried the finger one on my poor, overworked right arm (stupid mouse hand) and it felt lovely. Thanks!

You can do it, Emma! And Kay, yes, deadline crazies.

Good luck, all of you. It’s a great way to dive into the belly of a book.

What great suggestions! Very helpful even when you’re not on a writing blitz. Then again, with little ones in the house I’m kind of always racing the clock! :-)

Great suggestions, Barbara. I’m not doing NaNoWriMo, but I’ve got an 11/15 deadline so I’m in that final stretch. My biggest issues are forgetting to get up and move around and forgetting to eat lunch, both of which make me really tired mid-afternoon. Just got out my timer and will use it to remind myself. :-)
