Nows and Forevers

I’m getting stuck on tools again.
As I get ready for NaNoWriMo, I’m trying to figure out the best way for me to write thousands of words a day, every day in November.
I’m a constant writer, meaning I am almost always putting down into words something, whether it’s for my journalism work that pays the bills, my journal that fills my soul and chronicles my life, or the fiction and nonfiction I write.
For most of my life, I’ve barely cared how I’ve written. I have boxes of notebooks and scraps of paper, hard disks full of Windows and Mac files I’ve written, just about everything you can imagine. I am often undisciplined about how I write a first draft. I’m just always writing.
Not sure that’s going to work this time around for NaNoWriMo.
I took a year off from NaNoWriMo last year. But the most success I’ve had is by writing (and counting), the words via computer or iPhone or iPad app. It also forces me to not only figure out where I am at any one point in November, but I know that what I am doing is not my journal or my journalism, but instead my passion project.
Going to have to figure that one out.
