50000 words

Okay blah blah blah that subject that i was just about to blog on was boring, so lets completely change the topic of this blog post.
This November its novel writing month where it challenges you to write a 50,000 word novel.  I have heard about it in the past and seen participates in it writing furiously.  So i want to challenge myself to do the same.  Oh boy i am feeling really good about this.  My fingers are just itching to fly across my keyboard at speeds they've never traveled at before.  I am ready to take on this challenge.

I feel my competitive self surfacing.  I am going to make some sort of a game plan and i am going to make sure i do this.  I have this blog post now to make sure that i am going to do this. So i can't back out, and please DON'T LET ME!

Recently over the summer i wrote a story that has a 14,954 word count (i just checked).  It took me about two or three days to get up to that because i was just flying.  So if i can write about a third of the total 50000 word requirement in three summer days, i can definitely find every possible moment of free time that i was going to use watching america's next top model and write my freaking brains out. 

I was telling myself, Amy you don't have the time, you are so busy with work and school and BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Well what makes me think that next november when i will be attending college that my life will be any less hectic? Lets get over that, if i want to do this i have to just do it.  I am excited! i may cheat a little i.e working out the plot a little bit before november, but i am serious about this.

50000 words baby! don't let me not do this.  And if i don't make it, i will buy whipped cream and fill a whole pie tin with it and i will give you special permission to stuff that pie tin in my face.  So what do you say, will you help me??

  1. You know, I've always wanted to do that too. I should have done it in high school, cause I can tell you right now, its for sure not gonna happen in college. For sure send it to meh when it's done :D good luck!

  2. haha I would send it to you but even though I made the goal its doesn't have a good bad guy or a good plot and it probably wouldn't make very much sense but thanks for wanting to read it!
