If it is to be done...

I'm using Nanowrimo as impetus to get something done. The problem with using nano is the smallish word count. 50000 words is a lot in a month. 50000 words is not enough to throw to the wolves of the publishing world. I have moments of self-awareness. If I succeed in writing 50000 words I may very well stop. That's the goal of the contest so that's the end of it. I'm really good at stopping at the end of things. Never finishing is a wonderful way to never face rejection.

So I'm altering the contest for my own personal needs. I'm shooting for 90000 words. 3000 words per day. I used to write 3000 word papers on my lunch break in high school. I apologize to Mr. Jacques for never taking those papers seriously. So I'm setting my goal higher than what the contest requires and making my contest to write more than everyone else.

Then part two of the contest is getting it sold.

That is all.
