So um. Wow.

Let's be honest, here. I didn't think I'd take this as seriously as I said I would. But, I've written ~1,400 words per day. I've got 6,696 words done 5 days in. I have to write 43,303 more in 25 days. I'm fairly confident that I can do it.

The @ssh0le that invented this meme probably doesn't create entire realms of existence and have multiple personalities screaming inside their brain, never mind trying to have it all make sense... 
FCK YOU, I WILL NOT KEEP CALM.


I started off wicked strong, getting 2000 words out night one, and I've tapered off a little. I think it's just a slow point in the story, and it'll pick back up soon. I'm just... It's weird, having this be a thing. Taking it seriously but not super stressing, meaning and aiming to force it out in a month and go back over it later. I'm notorious for editing as I write, and that's why I get so discouraged with other projects, or burn out, because I just keep digging through what's already there rather than pushing forward.

I know dat feel, Sisyphus. 

Not this time. I've got an outline forming, I'm about 2-3 chapters/plot points ahead of where the writing is, and I'll do more tonight before I start my REQUIRED 1 1/2 hour daily writing I've been forcing myself into. Not sure whether to count it for the day before or the day of, since it's around midnight - 1 AM. I should move it back to earlier, since if I don't make 50K by midnight on the 1st, it doesn't count...

And then there's this fact of life. Which is why I rehash and edit. But... oh. What's up, Sisyphus. I see you up there, making my point. Good on ya, bro.

I want a shirt. I want printed and formatted paperback copies. I want this to happen. I want to be that @ssh0le at a coffee shop talking down to people because I actually finished a god damn book, rather than just talked sht about doing it. And I'll try my hardest.

But I'll need motivation. And support, and... Anyone want to be my accountability/reading buddy? :)
