The Hooky Novel
by Andrew Tibbetts
As November draws to a close I almost have a novel written! Only it’s not the novel I started writing for NANOWRIMO. Turns out the best way to make work on my current novel more exciting was to turn it into a naughty extra-curricular excursion from my official NANOWRIMO novel. Turns out I can only write for fun. Duty dries me up.
Meanwhile my NANOWRIMO novel lies like the five previous attempts I’ve made at National Novel Writing Month, in a puddle of its own sad juices.
Now, if only I can trick myself into thinking there is something scandalous about cleaning my apartment.
Check out 101 Reasons to Stop Writing in case you’re in danger of prolific-ness.

How exciting that you've finished a novel. And writing for fun sounds like the very best reason.
Trickery-writing... I've done that, and all manner of ways to get my pen moving. It's kind of like how one needs to rotate allergy medicine. Congrats on the big finish, Andrew.
