I woke up this morning with the resolution to not only write my quota of 1,250 words for the day, but to make up for missing yesterday, as well. It took me a couple of hours of procrastination to get started, but once I did, it was amazing how quickly my fingers flew. It seems to take me only an hour or an hour and a half to meet the daily quota. I had somehow thought it would take hours upon hours each day. This just goes to show that most of the barriers to succeeding at writing have been in my head. I have quickly discovered that I am completely ready to write my first draft. That is, I have only the bare bones of my plot laid out, but I am perfectly capable of making the rest of the details up as I go. It will be a shitty first draft, but there will be plenty of time to revise it.
I will definitely be donating some $$ to NaNoWriMo. I haven't felt this productive in ages. I can actually picture myself completing the rough draft of this novel in the next couple of months, after a couple of years of fitful progress. I just wish their website was a little faster.
