50,000

Recently I have come to accept that the only way I will develop my writing, the only way I will feel accomplished, is if I start by writing something everyday. It might not be much, or even relevant to the world, but it feels necessary. And then I see this contest that is going on here, http://www.nanowrimo.org where you have to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Nov. 1st to Nov. 30th. The purpose isn’t to create a work of art, but to simply produce. So, here I have a combination of events; my decision to write more, the month of my birthday, and this “contest”. So yeah, I am thinking about it. I have many ideas, none that I think will feel the gaping wound of 50,000 words. But well see. What about my thesis? Still will work on that, and this kind of output will help me focus I feel. So, its the first day, I think I have my idea. More on this later.
