Cat-O-Nine Tip of the Day: The Sting of the Whip, The Joy of the Pain

Just a little S&M to start out your November, as many of our hearty and obviously mad pirates are embarking on that adventure: NaNoWriMo.

Being a pirate, of course, I cheated and wrote about 600 words last night. I'm going to need every advantage I can steal to make it. I plan on counting blogs and emails as part of my word count, by God.

Of course, if I do, I'll make the 50,000 mark by November 10th.

A quote to get you into the mood:

Writing a novel is like making love, but it's also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it's like making love while having a tooth pulled.

~Dean Koontz

Happy Teeth-pulling, Hair-pulling, Setting-the-WIP-on-Fire-in-a-Fit-of-Despair Month!
