150k. REALLY, BRAIN?
So I’ve something… ill advised. I am not a writer. I occasionally get enthused by a new challenge if I notice it, or if my BFF and I share a new shiny fandom I’ll write something for her, otherwise, apart from Yuletide, I am never inspired to sit down and write. Partly because I’m lazy but mostly because it means isolating myself from distractions (ie my family and the tv), and I don’t really want to do that - especially Bunny, gods - she’s nearly 15, I’ll blink and she’ll be all grown up and leaving home :(
So one of my new flisties mentioned a writing pledge comm thingie and I thought, wow 75k words, that would be very challenging, given I normally only write about 20k in a whole year (and half that in 2015). I probably couldn’t do it, but I am good with deadlines, so maybe this would motivate me to organise my time better, hell, I could do that daily word count in my lunch breaks at work ahahahahahaa *cough*. So after a couple of days mulling it over I made the mental commitment and went back to the webpage to sign up… only it turns out when you actually read the instructions the 75k is only for people with chronic illnesses and it’s an honour system so I really should have backed away slowly but instead I accidentally signed up to the next level which is 150k.
That was a few days ago, I haven’t run screaming so apparently I’m still doing this. Even though I haven't even thought about opening a Word doc to start yet.
If anyone else is interested, it’s the last day to sign up!
