Scariest Day of the Year

Who would have thought the first day of November would be more terrifying than Halloween? And yet, as National Novel Writing Month commences this November, I find myself scared out of my mind. There is quite a difference in writing because I want to, writing because I'm inspired, and writing under deadline.





Oh, the discipline that involves!





I participated last year and let life get in the way, so even though I kept writing some, I stopped adhering to the deadlines and definitely did not hit 1,667 words a day. This year, however, I'm hoping I'll keep at it. I'm rewriting this story that's been in my head for ages (again) and I'd really like to get a draft out soon so I can either continue on with the rest of the series or start something new. But I know me, so until I get this first installment on paper, I won't be able to let it go.
