Something crazy
Dec. 8th, 2008 09:16 pmI did something crazy over the weekend. Insane. Possibly ill-advised. Only time will tell...
I pledged to write 200,000 words next year.
Considering I wrote maybe a couple of hundred words this year, this aim seems both hopeless and overly optimistic all at once. And yet, it comes at almost a perfect time, since I've been thinking a lot about writing lately. Thinking. Not doing. But still.
However, I don't believe I should be the only one engaging in such craziness. Forget NaNo - a mere month of writing like a possessed thing surviving on caffeine and shared suffering. This is where it's at. Don't just write one dodgy novella... write five! Write a great, long, sprawling saga! Swim in the stream of consciousness. Or, uh, actually decide on a project and work on that instead.
Just DO EEEEEEEEEEEET. Get your words out.
And then blame
theemdash and
sopdetly, because it was all their idea in the first place.
Also,
crazedturkey did this, so I'm going to do it, too...
