I've been writing for a while now, my current WIP is an urban fantasy book, set in Britain and features all sorts of different races. It's hard to explain at the moment.

I have so many ideas, my problem is sticking to one and not deviating to all the other ones i think of constantly.

I don't write to get published however I write for myself, I will try but I'd write anyway even if I wasn't good enough to be published. I get something out of writing that makes me feel better when I'm down.

You just don't think about editing and don't worry. I found it easier to have a set amount of words that i needed to get done every day and then if i missed that word count i added it to the next one and so on I know one weekend I had a whole weeks worth to catch up on  :o but if you know throughout the month how much you should be on every day then it makes it a lot simpler to catch up. NaNo is such a brilliant moivater for writing. I found that the words came easily when I just let it flow and didn't worry about it. Outlining slightly is a good idea as well. It doesn't have to be loads but a few ideas on where the storyline is going to go is usually a good idea.
 ;D
that help at all  ???

i'll be doing this again this year. It'll be my second year and it was so much fun last year. I wrote a novel that I'd had in my heard for years and found that having a goal of completing 50,000 words in a month was such a good motivator. This year I'm working on a novel for the SHOMI competition. I've decided that starting September I will try all competitions that I come across that fit in with my writing. If just for practice more than anything else.  ;D
