It helps having a habit partner to work with when it comes to writing. A part of the reason this year was unbelievably successful (I beat my old best wordcount by 16k) for me was that I live with someone who also does the NaNo and was fairly active in a Discord group for our local area. Having the enthusiasm there during your best writing times means you keep writing instead of getting distracted. :)

The month is over now, but I'm ready to get back to some new projects already -- one of the unexpected side effects is that being driven to complete one project meant putting other ones aside, and making them more urgent. And more urgent means more interesting and prioritized... let's see if it works out!
