IMPORTANT! Be sure you are using the YWP NaNoWriMo site (ywp.nanowrimo.org), NOT the main NaNoWriMo site. We do the Young Writers' Program so we can set our own word-count goals. The main site requires a 50,000 word-count goal.

9. Ditch your inner editor and start writing!

Check out John Steinbeck's advice to writers (very NaNoWriMo-y, don'tcha think?):
"Write freely and as rapidly as possible and throw the whole thing on paper. Never correct or rewrite until the whole thing is down. Rewrite in process is usually found to be an excuse for not going on. It also interferes with flow and rhythm which can only come from a kind of unconscious association with the material."

Ditch that inner editor and WRITE AWAY!!!
You guys are incredible for attempting this -
:-) Mrs. B
