I've decided to do NaNoWriMo. (www.nanowrimo.org). What is that, you ask? It's National Novel Writing Month. For the whole month of November (1st through 30th), you are to write a 50,000 word novel. It doesn't have to be polished, it's simply a first draft. So yes, you'll write a lot of crap...but at least you'll be writing. Average daily word count is 1,667 words per day. About 4 pages in Times New Roman, 12 pt font.
So far, with 13 days to go, I'm at 20,000 words. 30-ish pages. About 10 pages is nothing but crap...because I'm actually thinking about what I'm writing, where the story is going next. I need to STOP THINKING and just start pounding out words! I haven't written anything in about 2 years and anything for fun/pleasure in, gods, YEARS! It's fun...kinda stressful...but still fun!
