I thought this thread might be handy for when we hit of ablock of whatever kind during NaNo.

My current pet peeve is that all 30 of my Year 11 class have handed in a draft of their coursework and I have to mark and annotate the lot of it to raise their marks. All (hopefully) by tomorrow morning!

What's my chances of doing ANYTHING tonight? Doesn't look good. I keep telling myself if I can manage 500 words, I'm still on track, but it's driving me mad. I want to write and I can't.

ARGGGGGGHHHHHH!

Would it be wise for someone else to help out in these situations?

How about if you set aside time on the weekend to catch up on all you miss out on during the week? To stay on target, you need to write 1,666.67 words per day on average. So if you miss out one day, you need to write more later on. If you miss one day, you can write about 2,000 words each day instead for five days to catch up.
