As November approaches, trepidation builds. I have written some in the past. For example, you can look over my abandoned web site. It's just full of "stuff" with no particular theme. (Please forgive all the ads; they weren't always there.) I have written almost everything there. There are short stories, poems, even a fan-fiction TV script. But I have never tried 50,000 words.

So about 4 days ago, I determined to make the run up to the start of the month by writing 1667 words per day (for the unwashed, 50000 (words)/30 (days) ~= 1667 per day). First night: about 700 words; second night: about 900 words (better). So I saw some improvement. But it was hard. Oh well, wish me luck!
