Every so often, I dive into writing. I have started three different novels, only to put them aside when I got bored or busy or just tired of it. Well, this month is National Novel Writing Month, and there's this challenge going on urging folks to try to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November.
I know what you're thinking. "That's CRAZY, Joy, that just can't be done." You know what? You're probably right. If I start today, I need to write 1923 words a day in order to have 50,000 words by November 30. It sound impossible. I don't have that kind of time, do I?
Do me a favor. Scroll down to my entries from November 3 and see how much time I spent playing online Monopoly and Clue on that day. Anyone remember my Crazy Train obsession? It's insane how much time I spend doing *nothing* online. So instead, why not write? Can't hurt, can it? Maybe come December I will have 10,000 words of utter crap, but you know what? It's more than I have now, right? And maybe I will be able to work the kinks out of some of the crap I've written in the past. Never can tell.
Okay, I need to end this post, because I have a novel to write.
i give you a lot of credit for even thinking about tackling such a task.
good luck!
