It's that time of year again!! Just a few days until the sound of furious keystrokes, and scribbles across paper will fill the air. I thought in honor of the challenge starting in just a few days, I would post what I have in my NaNoWriMo survival kit!
*Tea and assorted sweeteners of choice
*Selection of music to fit the type of story being written- Every year I splurge on one new soundtrack, and this year it was the track to the movie Pacific Rim
*Hoodies, Blankets, and Sweatshirts...Oh my! Basically anything comfy and warm.
*My inspiration Pinterest Board(s)

*SNACKS!-These vary from healthy to very unhealthy
*Rewards for mini goals (IE food, or going to a park once the words are done for the day...GASP the outside!)
*Timer for word sprints- I usually have 30 minute soundtracks as I've found that amount of time is the most productive for me
*Write In's! They really help create more motivation, and increase word counts! (Make some new friends too!)
*NaNo Forums. For inspiration and camaraderie
*Twitter Hashtags for commiseration (#NaNoWriMo, #amwriting, #nano2015 etc)
* Kristina Horner's NaNoWriMo music video and previous year's adventures in novelling.

*Last but not least- all the prep work I do before hand.
I'd love to hear what everyone else has in their survival kit, or if they have one!
