If it starts to become just another way to drive yourself bonkers, then stop! The reason I can say this is I once did NaNoWriMo - the challenge each november to write a 50k novel. I came close but it put me in such a mindset to rush, that I rushed into contracting and publication. It ended up being okay but not before I drove myself and my editor a bit crazy and caused stress. So, that said, use the challenge to help your writing, not to make yourself more stressed. If you write 350 words one day and can't do more than that, give yourself permission to make up the deficit another day when you have more time. Writing should be fun. That's a more important rule than how many words you write.Sedonia Guillonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707376226374543981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080534112987988024.post-54424708327591672972008-08-04T09:27:00.000-04:002008-08-04T09:27:00.000-04:00I'm very competitive with personal goals.

Hang in there and just keep in mind on block days, that even if the words suck this time, there are still 500 more words than you had previously.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947952583116323744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1080534112987988024.post-26528549335116778712008-08-02T21:44:00.000-04:002008-08-02T21:44:00.000-04:00Good luck with your challenge.

I actually like tests so I can get a good score (hopefully). I don't know why I'm this way. I like to see improvement in myself and to continually grow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534849962517743534noreply@blogger.com
