Be like Thomas! Think you can

Hey! HEY YOU!
You there staring at your non-moving word count!
Don't do it! Don't even THINK of doing it!
Put away that red pen, do not even TOUCH your spell checker.
Now stop take a deep breath, count to five and write the first thing that comes to your mind. I'll wait.

Oh... it sucks?
Who cares?

I don't and you shouldn't either. I believe the motto is “no plot, no problem.” I got to 15,000 words without a plot in sight. I'm still trying to figure out how a semi-colon works; never fear though. There is time!
So what, if you're only at one thousand words, you still have twenty days! This is no big deal. You got this! You are awesome! You are the greatest novelist since that person that wrote that one amazing novel that you love and cherish so dearly that you’ve planned on putting it in a glass case.
No, I'm not talking about me (hehehe.)

In all seriousness though, don't be discouraged. It doesn't matter if your novel is at zero words or a thousand or if you're done already. We all have this one thing we do, we write. Whether it's for fun or professionally, we all do NaNo for some reason. Even if you don't finish, guess what?
Your word count is higher than it was before!
You created something beautiful, it's yours and no one can take that away from you. Not even the pesky little stats page that says 'at this rate you will finish on “December thirty-second-thousand-and-never.”
Embrace the creativity even if you just ran face first into writer's block, or wall, or cliff. I believe in you because whatever comes out of those speedy, or not so speedy, fingers of yours will be amazing.
I promise.
