"No Plot? No Problem! offers suggestions on how to participate in
something as crazy as writing a short novel in a single month, as
well as why you'd want to do so. Baty gives practical tips peppered
with humor, recognizing that this endeavor is both enormous and
somewhat ridiculous, but still worth doing. Baty walks you through
things like how to find time to write, what tools and foods you
should keep handy, and the benefits of planning (or not planning)
your novel ahead of time. The second half of the book is a
week-by-week guide, intended to walk you through the first week
exuberance, second week slump, and so on. Baty's been at this for
15 years already, so he knows what he's talking about-plus he has
quotes and advice from many other NaNoWriMo winners as well."
