This. I threatened to do this last November, but last November was hardly the time to consider a project of that magnitude with so much other shit hitting so many fans. It was a veritable hurricane of shit.
But this year... hmm. You know, 1667 words per day isn't too unreasonable, is it? And the focus in this project is quantity, not quality, because you can always go back and fix it up afterward. That's the right way to do it anyway, always has been. I figured that out after every English teacher in my entire school career tried to explain it to this hopeless perfectionist and failed. Finally, Julia Cameron showed me the way, and then Denise Giardina walked with me along it. Thanks to both, I now know I can do it.
So enough talking about it, and do it.
Over the last year, I've been shown numerous times we might indeed just get one shot at this life. And it should not be squandered. Well, I get it, and I'm trying my best not to do that. This one task keeps eluding me, though. Before I learned about NaNoWriMo it eluded me, and it eluded me again last year.
No more. I'm giving it a shot. It's the very least I can do, and I think it's worth the journey.
