November Manifesto

I WILL FINISH MY NOVEL THIS MONTH.

On this first day of November and the kick-off of NaNoWriMo,

I challenge myself not to write an entire 50,000 word novel in a month, 

but just to finish the 80,000+ words I have struggled with for two years. 

I will shift my priorites and just GET IT DONE. It can suck. That's okay.

I can't edit and rewrite until I have something to edit and rewrite.

No one else will treat my writing as anything but a hobby unless I take the lead.

It's not some cute little thing I do between loads of laundry. Well, actually, it is.

That needs to change if I ever want to be published.

Yes, I understand bloggers have jumped on this bandwagon and cooked up NaBloPoMo.

I'm not going to write a blog post a day. 

In fact, I'm going to blog LESS so I can focus on the book.

That is all.
