Hi guys,
I am almost 16k in on my first nano novel. My questions is, how do I keep from getting slowed down by my own confusion? lol.
Should i print out what I have, make small notes in the margins to keep myself straight?
Should I continue on without without abandon?
I am kind of at a stand still just because I want to keep the theme strong and not go off into wild tangents. So how do YOU reach 50k without getting confused?
Any advice appreciated. xoxo

The banner at the top of every page answers your question:
30 days & nights of literary ABANDON!
November is for writing, writing, WRITING! Notes in the margin are for December ;o)

When I edited my novel from last year this last spring I scrapped 20k! WOW. But I also added a lot and my novel went from 78k to 58k then up to 110k!
I'm really behind this year so I'll take ANY words, good or bad.
