I'm going to play a game with myself tonight. I promised I would write from 8:00-10:00 each night this month, and I've had trouble staying on task during that time frame, so here's my solution:
Every ten minutes, I'll email my brother, Jeff, with an update of how many words I've written tonight (on my novel only). That way, I'm forced to either work on my novel straight through or send some pretty pitiful emails.
The twist: I haven't asked Jeff's permission yet, so he'll be surprised to see all my correspondence. Hi, Jeff! Thanks for being there!
He's a very supportive and easygoing guy. You should get a friend or two like my brother, and then use them.
