This is something I came up with in 2012. Enjoy.
The
NaNoWriMo First Draft Pledge
Dear
Internal Critic (IC).
Although I value your input, I respectfully request that you refrain from your
task whilst I get the first draft down on paper, PDA, cell phone, Ipod, Nook,
Kindle, Mac, and/or computer (PC/Laptop).
While I need your capable assistance in the rewrite/revision process; I humbly
request you cease and desist to interfere with this part of the creative
process (first draft).
What this means for you, is that you can take a vacation! Heck, you and
the other writers/Nanoers I.C.’s could get together with our external critics
(i.e. parents who don not support us, bf/spouses of that same ilk), could go on
a holiday….heck, even have a convention!
Ahem…once our rough drafts are done, and I mean rough (or why else would they
be called that), you may come back, roll up your sleeves, and get back to
work… constructively of course. Until that time, let us be free to
write the worst crap in the universe!
Thank you for your support and cooperation in this matter.
Your Friend

You can print
it out and sign it, hang it where you can see it (next to your writing area
perhaps?)
