paragraphs: Come Travel with Me (Default)

So I just committed myself to insanity - GYWO. :)

I have no idea why the banner isn't working for me.  BUT ANYWAY.  I committed to 200k for 2015.  Pretty daring considering the last 4 years I haven't even written 100k.  But I am moving along with this story, I have real, firm goals, and know what I want.  And I miss community, I miss people, and I really am looking forward to that.  Oh look, the banner mysteriously decided to start working.

I plan to finish the first drafts of two different novels and maybe start the third. And also to make edit the first two novels - or at least one of them. But while I'm researching and editing, I want to keep writing - even if I only write for prompts. I want to approach writing like an athlete - they warm up and train every day, no matter if they play a game or are just doing exercises. So I won't write 250K in novel words, but I will write them. *determined nod*

Ten years is a long time - but if they are filled with adventures and happiness, it's time well spent. :-)

That is a great way to think about it - approach it like an athlete. That is actually what has been in my mind to do. I want this. I want it bad. I will be 53 in May. There is NO reason why I can't have this first draft done by May 31st, if I want this. And I do. I should've and could've achieved much more than I have the past ten years, and I regret that. I really do. I don't want to regret 2015.

You can do it! We will do this together and keep each other on track. :-)
