Words are inadequate

I've been using twitter to check my "I will read things people have to say and feel like I'm being sociable" block, and not actually posting real posts, or anything. And ignoring the post-NaNo writing slump as usual. So, yeah. Something ought to be done. Darned if I know what, either. (ok, in my case "finish this house stuff" first, but that's not exactly eating all my time or anything.)

Vague thoughts:

*make pacts among several of us to post progress (like L is doing, perhaps?) at regular intervals. Make sure everyone actually does. (ha.)

*Maggie suggested trying to network through other VP alums to find/make a good writing group. She also recommends audition periods for adding people, & some other stuff... you can see how much I've done with that so far.

*the usual "this hour is for writing" or daily wordcount goals, but exactly how to make that work (or particularly start making that work) I'm not entirely sure. Have you done the set a timer & just focus until to goes off thing? It sounded like that was working pretty well for other people besides me. Then you only have the starting in the first place problem... to which perhaps you could apply a Karen Prior style rewards system? (see also Don't Shoot the Dog, which claims to be about training animals, but is also about useful brain hacking methods.)

*more expansively, set up a reward system for progress: 100 more words gets you a cookie, 1000 a break to go do something else fun... tweak to apply to you... yeah, I don't know. It's also possible that I'm now using suggestions to other people as a way of putting off doing anything of my own.
