Okay folks, short and sweet: here’s a hardcore, kick-you-in-the-junk trick for keeping yourself motivated during Week Two.
1. Buy a NaNoWriMo t-shirt.
Is it not attractive? Order a size big: they shrink.
2. Consider the guilt you’ll feel for owning the t-shirt without earning it.
3. Write.
Heh. Clever. Very nice, sir.
You are a master manipulator. A puppetmaster, callous and cruel.
You’re no angel, after all.

Um, yeah. Kinda what I did.
For the record, I wrote this post TWO DAYS ago, before the Wendigian Sainthood had been bestowed.
I save my mean tricks for when shit gets hard.
[...] Buy the t-shirt. Wear the t-shirt. Oh, and put the sticker on your car. Consider a tattoo. [...]
You’ve now given me a rock-solid reason to buy that fab nano travel cup.
Bless you!
