Officially Accepting the 500 Words a Day Challenge

I work better with a deadline, or a daily word count goal, or something of the similar, and since NaNo is November away (and the wedding in the middle of the month would definitely not work with JulNoWriMo), I needed one badly.

 I’m not sure where I saw mention of it, probably the NaNo forums, but I landed on the site of the 1,000 word a day challenge.  Yikes.  At nearly two-thirds the NaNo goal, that wouldn’t be a good thing for me right now.  Yes, someday, great.

 Now I have a goal in two parts:  the 500 words a day of the challenge, plus working up the bravery to move over to the 1000 words a day challenge.  This will be good for me.  Actually, so far, today’s word count is over 1,000, but being a weekend, raining nearly incessantly, and not being quite yet time for the wedding, I concede this pace may be hard to maintain going forward.

 Someday, though, I will do it… it is not an insurmountable goal.
