Writing stuff for the New Year

[ratherastory]

So I signed up for getyourwordsout and pledged myself for 350k words next year. It looks really intimidating at first, but then I went back and did a quick (or, really, not-so-quick) count of all my words last year, and, yeah, I can do it

How do you find the time and how do you deal with the writer's block? You're a writing machine!

[ratherastory]

Writer's block hasn't really been an issue much of late. Some days I don't have the energy to write, but I have plenty of ideas, and when I'm really stuck I just chat with pkwench and she sets me straight.

Also, after watching the video I talked about in this post, I have come to view writer's block with more equanimity. I figure that by sitting in my chair and typing away, I am fulfilling my end of the writing bargain. I will not create brilliance every time, but as long as I'm writing, that's half the battle. :)

As for time? Well, I write fast(ish) for one, and I have a wacky work schedule and erratic sleep patterns. It's not too hard to find several hours a week in which to write.

You go, girl!!

I plan to! :)

I love that comm! 350K sounds like a lot, but you write so much and so well that I know you won't have any trouble meeting your quota.

We'll be rooting for you!

Well, if I write as much as I did this year, I shouldn't have any trouble at all. :)

Thanks for the good thoughts!

I ♥ it when we get to benefit from other people's resolutions! You go, girl!

*g*

I figured people wouldn't be too displeased about that. ;)
