RE: @merej99's guide to help you survive and WIN NaNoWriMo
Never done this Wrimo thing, also I think I break about every rule when it comes to writing. I wait for an idea and run with it (Usually it's from a random conversation on social media that I sit there and the lightbulb switches on.) setting targets confudles me and I end up deleating stories a 1000 words at a time. I write drunk and edit sober... hungover with lots of coffee. Then I'm not an author, just a story teller with a few books out :)
I'm usually a "pantster" (writing by the seat of my pants) - but I've gotten better with a little more organization and self-control. Uh.... yeah....
I've got short story ideas that I may turn to when my WriMo book project becomes too dark. I hesitate calling myself an author... If feels so pinkies out. hahah
Authors are serious people who create works with words and know all the writing stuff, i just wing it and hope nobody notices I gatecrashed the party before I've drunk the free drink and had seconds from the buffet. It's more fun to avoid being an author, they sound a very dull breed ;)
ROFL. You can help me hold up the corner of the bar any time @alienbutt ;)
