National Novel Writing month is only eight days away. Are you ready? Do you have your brain food stocks up to the necessary level? Cheese nips, Doritos, pretzels, chips or whatever it is that you snack on while writing, there should be a stack of ‘em next to your desk by now.

How about beverages?  For me it’s easy.  I just move the coffee maker to a small table beside my desk and I’m good to go.  If you’re the soda or Mountain Dew type, you might want to go out and buy a small cooler and a few bags of ice.  Anything that makes you get up from your writing can kill your daily word count.

30 fevered days of writing with a goal of 50,000 words, that’s what we’re shooting for here.  Will I see your name on the list?
