It is only natural, we all get stumped on new ideas, what was that word, and spur of the moment - thoughts.

= One of the tricks, I use is to think of words with association.

For instance, it is handy in new situations, to consider other factors in relationship to the problem. Obviously, the first problem is identification. Then, finding the property to describe it's nature. This is where association games come into play.

My attempts at a novel for 2007, didn't work out. My month started off and I reached 15k words, within about two weeks. (K for thousand.)

However, the drain of the Holiday season and long days. Just made it out of reach.

Plus, like my fellow Nano authors admit. It seems for 50k words. There are only a good 12--20k in there, of real substance. My venture into Nano, this year was for the fun of it. It was also to test some GTD ideas, of Nano.

Nano purports you need a deadline and I agree. This is an important part of successful projects. Starting with a progressive calendar to focus only on one chore -- is useful.

However, putting all too many trivial tasks off is important, too. This is where delegation and mandating others contribute positive effort, to the tasks is needed.
