I am not allowed to read another author's fiction during NaNo.
I will reach my daily goal of more than 2000 words.
Yesterday's extra words do not count towards today's daily goal.
My daily goal time frame starts at midnight my time.
I am not allowed to read forums or facebook if I am not ahead of my goal. (reward)
I have to clean my kitchen regularly during NaNo. (But only if my daily goal is already met.)
I can skip days, up to five, but either the day before or the day after my goal is 4000. no excuses.
I will use the writing sprint method to put down the bones of my scenes.
I will 'soft edit' by adding words to my sprints. I will not remove words without replacing them.
I am only allowed to go back one day. No obsessing over the words from two days ago. That is editing and will be dealt with later.
I will add each day's work to the running outline as I go.
I will add every important character to my dramatis personae file.

I am going to finish NaNo. I am going to finish NaNo. I am going to finish NaNo.
I am going to finish NaNo. I am going to finish NaNo. I am going to finish NaNo.
I am going to finish NaNo. I am going to finish NaNo. I am going to finish NaNo.

Let me know what you think. Is there a personal rule that is helping you keep up?

Crap. Now I need to go clean my kitchen. Bummer.
