Yesterday marked the kickoff of National Novel-Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo),
the online project that challenges participants to write a 50,000-word
book in the 30 days of November. To those scribbling hurriedly to meet
its deadline, we wish you a book deal by December. And to cheer you on,
we've rounded up a treasure trove of advice and encouragement from the
great writers who best embody, in their own work, NaNoWriMo's goals of
writing much and writing fast. Below the jump, read through our favorite
words from the wise, speedy, and prolific.
