Motivate Yourself
Throughout this prep I have had to motivate myself a number of times. If anyone is having issues getting started here is what I do.

-I research for my novel. It takes place in a time where people have to live primitively so I have researched weapons, herbs, gardening, etc.
- Watch YouTube videos. Yes this can be distracting but I look for things that I can incorporate into my novel.
- Don't walk away! If you need a break re-read something you have previously written but don't get up! 15 minutes can fly by if you just start writing (or typing) what you think is nonsense can turn in to something good.

I hope this helps someone! Next month will be a lot harder for me to keep the pen going.*PenBl*
