Friday marked the end of week 1 of NaNoWriMo, the annual world-wide novel writing competition where crazy people attempt to create a 50,000 word novel out of thin air. In 30 days. The chart at the left shows my progress in my first week of the competition. Attempting to write 1666-2000 words a day has proven to be quite challenging. Not that I thought it would be easy. I usually log about 500 words relatively easily and then hit a mental wall. But the good stuff comes when I push past it. Just like running, I've found that once I push past the wall at 1-2 miles and keep going, I start to believe I am capable of continuing and I get into a rhythm where I don't even have to think. The writing or running just becomes routine. It's like working on autopilot. Not every day is like that but experiencing a couple of them make me want to push through and get to that point.
