I do have a bit of an advantage seeing as this is my seventh year doing NaNo, and I have won every year so far! And this was a fantastic reward for writing my quota yesterday! Distractions are good if you use them as a reward for making your word quota, you just have to be careful about not letting indulging for too long or when you haven't written your goal yet. Plus, don't get discouraged by other people's word counts. There are a lot of overachievers but no one expects you to keep up with them. Also, whatever you do, DO NOT worry about editing during November! The point is to just write, you can always edit later. Also, fun fact! I was at the write-in that Sarah Mackey filmed that latest NaNoVideo at! You can't see me though cause I was behind other people.
