Plan to write for a certain block of time, say 20 or 30 minutes and during that time do not open any other window or check your email or feed the cat. That time will fly by and no one will starve until the dinger goes off.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-5719763605792148857?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/days-12-20-have-focus.html">'; output += '<h1>Days 12-20 Have focus</h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Days 12-20: Have focus and fight distraction. This middle of the trip is where many people disappear. During these hard times stay away from distractions like the web or specifically blogs which you don\'t have time to write on anyhow. lol.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-4245932461673038856?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-11-have-snacks-did-you-notice-that.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Day 11: Have Snacks<br /><br />Did you notice that every time you interrupt your writing to go make a meal it’s that much harder to get back lost momentum? If you have a supportive better half he or she will sneak in silently and place easy finger food within reach (but not in the way) of your flying fingers. But if such isn’t happening you may have to take matters into your own hands. Plan ahead and before you settle in for your scheduled writing, make a couple small snacks, sandwiches or chicken nuggets, leftover Halloween candy… something that you can eat without leaving the moving story you’re creating. Also set up your liquids. I tend to have my usual drinks as well as a couple bottles of water as back up. Anything that keeps you typing and undistracted for even a few extra sentences is well worth the effort.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-30196937921186272?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-10-have-caffeine-or-some-other.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Day 10: Have Caffeine<br /><br />Or some other means of staying energized. By now you’re probably feeling the strain of the breakneck pace. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably fallen behind your big dreams of hitting daily goals. Don’t panic. Just adjust your way of attacking the problem. Maybe sketch out your next couple scenes and see if you can write them bare bones style. Nothing but the essentials to be filled in later. There is no right path to get to 50k. Any path that gets you there is a good one.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-5301817528937438870?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-9-have-ending-this-isnt-right-for.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Day 9: Have An Ending<br /><br />This isn’t right for everyone but for me I need to know where my story is going before I can focus on the path to get there. Sometimes I even write the last scene or ending before I hit the midpoint. Taking this idea a little bit further you might find it useful to write little bare bones snippets of the big turning points in your story. These aren’t made in stone and can be changed, edited or even cut later, but can help you keep on track and running ful speed when you need it most.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-26059295433816684?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-8-have-conflict-conflict-is-thing.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Day 8: Have Conflict<br /><br />Conflict is the thing that will keep your characters at odds in the story. Try not to think of your conflict as a single problem, think of it more as a ladder. Your conflict should have several rungs the characters have to overcome. Each one higher and further from the last. If they don’t make it then the fall becomes more deadly as the story progresses.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-5152348592376225606?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-7-have-motivation-motivation-is.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Day 7: Have Motivation<br /><br />Motivation is tied into goals for each character, similar but not quite the same. For instance the hero’s goal might be to stop the bad guy. But his motivation is the why that gives the goal purpose. So why does your hero need to stop the bad guy? Maybe the bad guy is trying to kill him? Kill the heroine? Steal a precious gem? Take over the world?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-3089762523398670898?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-6-have-goals-not-only-should-you.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Day 6: Have Goals<br /><br />Not only should you set monthly, weekly and daily goals for yourself, but your fabulous characters need goals too. Not just hero and heroine, but every character in your books needs to want something. They should have a goal, something to reach for and hopefully attain by the end of your book. Don’t forget the villain, sometimes his/her goal is the one that will drive the story.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-4216347737238153742?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>'; output += '<a href="http://lshannon.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-5-have-character-bet-you-thought-i.html">'; output += '<h1></h1>'; output += '</a>'; output += '<p>Day 5: Have Character<br /><br />Bet you thought I meant don’t lie and be nice to stray animals. Nope, this is about Having strong bigger than life characters for your novel! Yep a lot can be said for strong characters. Sometimes they can carry a soft plot or weak story further than you can even imagine. Best part of all, if you love your characters you’ll actually want to spend time with them. And that means you’ll spend even longer in your chair telling their stories. Which will lead directly to more words and eventually to a complete novel!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width=\'1\' height=\'1\' src=\'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12108139-7190900319676368063?l=lshannon.blogspot.com\' alt=\'\' /></div></p>';
