religion... helps?

Nano total: 15721.

I was stuck, then I read the bible for a bit and then wrote my characters discussing the bible.

This pretty much works with anything.

I started out confident that if I got stuck I could just write crap or nonsense, and many times in the past week I have, but it's much harder than I thought it would be. I think this must be the true benefit of Nano, it teaches you to stop being a perfectionist and learn the value of writing anything that comes to mind.

A hundred times I've started writing an idea that's inane or stupid, and then found a better idea suddenly emerging a few sentences or even a few words later. Those ideas wouldn't exist if I'd just sat there staring at the page.

Yes, that's exactly it for me: it teaches me to keep going, rather than to think that I've done enough for the day and then stop. And to not revise the same three paragraphs endlessly instead of writing the ones that should follow them.
