I have been looking closely at my schedule to see if I can carve out an hour or two to write in November. Maybe. Maybe not two hours every day, but weekends are mostly available. My goal is to write more than last year and to write characters that I don’t wish would die after three weeks. I seriously wanted to kill them off. I had a few creative ways for them all to die, but I didn’t kill them off because it would have ruined my word count. I really want to do this crazy writing deadline this year. I have to agree that a deadline is completely necessary or I will waste years of half-hearted attempts and just plain wasitng time thinking how great it would be to write a novel. Oh wait–I already have.
