I heard of NaNoWriMo before. Unfortunately that would be too much for me to handle. I am not a professional writer. I am just doing this in my free time and I just don’t have that kind of time, although I think this would definitely be worth checking out if it was during a holiday.
Here’s the thing: 50,000⁄30 is 1,666 words a day. 1,666 words a day is a lot, but if you’re a good typist you should be able to manage it in about an hour IF you focus on typing no matter what, and not trying to edit as you go. Do you spend an hour on the train commuting? Or watching TV?
Give it a shot, and see how far you get!
If you really don’t want to though, turning off your inner editor and pushing yourself to get some words down is still important.
