Haven't participated myself but I find whenever I get in the writing mood, however rare it may be for me, the best thing to do is to just write. Don't read it, don't edit it, just write out until you don't feel like writing any more. And then stop, go back the next day, read, revise, and write some more. You may not write the best story for NWM, but anything is better than nothing!

I think this is my problem. I'm such a freak about sentence structure, I'm constantly rereading and getting caught up on it. I'll definitely be taking this advice next month, thanks so much!

Write, write, don't stop, and don't edit is exactly the spirit behind NaNo! :D
