Wow. I've Got Issues (News at 11)

So I'm doing Nano this year.

Some of you already know that, but what you may not know is that I'm really not sure if I'll make it.

'Ohhhh' you say. 'Big shock' you say. "That's kinda the point MrLich - a lot of people won't make it."

Yeah, yeah, I know. The thing is, I sooo should make it. I know without a doubt that I have enough in the creativity department. I've already proven to myself that I can pump out 1667 words in a night* fairly easily**.

So what's the problem? Same thing as when I draw. The instant I make it mandatory - whether because it's a paying gig or because I've set some sort of deadline for myself, my willpower to complete the task at hand goes straight to shit.

As an example? I haven't started tonight's writing and here I am procrastinating - and I'm a little behind for yesterday's work!

In related news, I have an all new respect for ms_violet 's 30 minutes of timed writing exercises.

Time to get started.

*That's the number of words (roughly) that you need to write per day to make the 50,000 word finish line in one month's time.
**Yes, that's relatively speaking - I'm no pro.
