NaNoWriMo motivation
Day 3 and I've only written the first line of my NaNoWriMo novel. Eep. Even slipping one day behind puts you 1,667 words adrift of the target. And then one day becomes two and then three and - oh shit - 5,000 words behind.
But who's counting, eh? Who will notice if, despite your best intentions, you begin to question the wisdom in participating in such a challenge when you have so many other projects and problems to be dealing with?
Well, if you are dumb enough to blog about your intentions to take on such a challenge and stick a progress meter on your website for all to see, anyone who reads the culture blog on a national newspaper's website will notice, that's who.
I can't exactly pussy out now, can I? Talk about motivation. I'd better get on with it.
