Tips for writing during Thanksgiving

• Head into the holidays with a stockpile of extra words. If you have to take a day (or days) off, you’ll still be able to finish your novel.
• Write something every day, even if it’s just jotting down ideas to fill in later.
  Losing momentum during the holidays can be the end of your novel.
• Carry a pen and a notebook everywhere, so you can write in the car, the airport,
  a closet, or a bathroom.
• Get up early and stay up late, and carry a book light for those late-night
  shared-room emergencies.
• Eat and drink in moderation. When everyone else is lying like beached whales
  in front of the TV, you can steal away and write.
• Word war! There’s nothing like some competitive writing sprints to get your
  novel moving again. See if there is anyone in your forum, regional chatroom, or on
  Twitter who is up for a sprint. Or a few!
• Reassure your family and friends. You’ll prove you love them with heroic
  appearances in your novel and on the dedication page when it’s published. It’s just
  one holiday after all!
