I’ve said it to my friends and I’ve said it on Twitter. Now I’m saying it here to make it stick.
Something must be true if it’s in big, bold, red type, right? I have been working on this novel in fits and starts for ages. The thing is outlined and just needs my butt in a chair writing. So. No more fussing around. As of October 1, I made a commitment to myself, and I intend to keep it. You may get sick of me talking about it here and on Twitter.
You know how you should retaliate? Join me. Write!
To that end, notice the nifty chart in my sidebar. I will be tracking my progress each day as I go.
(Side note: Obviously, this means my blogging will be sorely lacking this month.)
One Response to "October Writing Month"

I totally need to set a deadline, too. I just finished a massive novel–nearly 110K words–and I have another WIP lined up.
But I can’t. Get. Started. I’ve got about 15K on that project, and I love it, but my characters from the now-finished SPITFIRE will not go away. Which is seriously annoying, because now I need something new to bring to VCFA in January.
BUT. I’ll set myself a deadline! November 15th. (This includes the two weeks I have planned for SPITFIRE revision, but this WIP is much shorter, so should take less time. Hopefully.)
Yay for motivation!
