The Start Looms...

I think I really do like deadlines. This Saturday starts my personal writing challenge... 2k every day. I need to finish up my plotting so I can have a day or two of break before I start.

I had to put a few of them on the rack, but I finally got my main characters to talk to me, and I think I know a little more of what goes on in their heads. Enough to be getting on with anyway. I just need to set up my timeline then, and I should be ready.

Deadlines though... They're such good motivation for me with writing. My deadline for plotting is Friday, my deadline for writing this is every day, in a way. I have to write 2k every single day. That's my requirement. The goal is either 116k by October, or a finished story (preferably a finished story. 116k would a little long of a manuscript for me). Hopefully I can make it.
