Writer's Block

If there is a motto for NaNoWriMo, it would be "Turn Off That Internal Editor".

Donna says she wrote her book by letting the words come, and then she edited it later. I like to write as it comes to my mind. On the other hand, I have been having a bit of trouble the past couple of days keeping myself from editing what I already have written.

I have really tried today to turn off that internal editor. I was surprised that she/he/it was so strong. I changed my fonts for my chapter headings. Then I fixed places where I typed two spaces when it should only be one (and we all know how important that is!). Then I started synchronizing the version on my laptop with my desktop (since I don't have a network set up yet).

So all and all, I stayed home all day to work on the novel, and I came up with less than a thousand words. I am having the hardest time getting out of the 18,000's. I keep checking my work count, and I've only increased it by 200 or so each time (after what seems like forever).
