Mad Rush for SoCNoC
Seeing as I had only written 1,283 words so far this month, I will have to make an extra special effort to get this novel out this month.
I have though, made it even harder than that since I have thrown those already written words away and started again. From scratch. With nothing.
This might sound like madness but in fact I'm a big fan of symmetry and round numbers. It turns out, this being the 11th that there were 20 more days left in the month including today.
Of those, 14 are weekdays and 6 are the weekend. Therefore to get 50,000 words I have to write 2,000 words/day each weekday and 4,000 words/day at the weekends.
I don't know about you but those numbers appeal to me and I actually feel better for doing it. Don't ask me why because if you did I'd just reply "Because that's how my brain works!"
This word count is totally do-able and it'll take outside influences and factors to stop me achieving it, much like they have been stopping me so far this month.
Wish me luck and I'll see you again at the end of June.
