Today was the first day in my effort to write a novel in 30 days. My word count goal for the day was 1,667 words and I am at 2,758. Don't be too impressed because I am trying to pack in as many words over the holiday weekend and it was hard getting to 2,758 today. I didn't realize it would be that hard to write 1,667 words in a day and it is going to be a long month. I don't know where the remaining 47,242 words are going to come from.
Don't look at or think about the remaining words. I made a chart with the date and the goal for that day, and that's all I look at. (Believe me, that can get hairy enough.) Paul's words of wisdom: "Keep writing. Don't stop." Someone asked him recently what the key was to staying married so long. He said, "Don't get divorced."
