Save each chapter as a different file and only go back to re-read the last few paragraphs to remind yourself where you're going. This will help you stop from editing. I know that's my problem. I go back to re-read and edit the hell out of my stories and then I feel all the creativity zapped out of me. Oh and I'm laureltoosh on NaNoWriMo.org

The only bad thing about having a good creative day is that one good day does not necessarily beget another. There are ways to increase the chances of successive successes, though. Ernest Hemingway had the nifty trick of always calling it a day at a point when he knew what came next. He built himself a bridge to the next day. I always quit for the day when there's still some energy left in the room and I know where we would have gone if we hadn't stopped. A writer I know has a fixed nighttime routine: Just before he falls asleep, he reads the last few sentences he wrote. Without fail, he wakes up the next morning brimming with ideas, sentences, whole paragraphs to continue his story. You may find your own ways of bridging to tomorrow if only you look for them.

I'm a cronic procrastinator so I think the key will be to make myself start straight away.

I was supposed to go to a pre-kick off party last Friday for my area but I didn't make it. I'm so into this. I always start it then halfway through I fizzle out but I've made it a goal to finish this year.
