I try to avoid reading 'How to' books before Nano: they set up standards which prevent the free flow of the writing during November, encouraging the 'inner critic' to begin nagging. I have so many "How to Write" style books that I could begin a library.
Inspiration still hasn't struck me. I normally get my best ideas from a random word generator called 'MikkoMatrix' which I don't think is available anymore. Meanwhile I'm brushing up my typing speed and writing lots of short pieces for practise.
