Yep it's insane, and the product could not possibly be any good, but in a last-ditch effort to jumpstart my writing again (it has been in dismal doldrums) I am undertaking this challenge.. to write a rough draft of a novel in 3 weeks. Today & tomorrow I will be choosing and outlining my idea, then I'll start. I'll keep tabs of my daily progress on this thread, or perhaps on one of my blogs. Basically should be able to hit 60-75k words (short novel) if I can avg 3k+ words each day. Not sure if I can do it, but im going to try. Heres goes nothing--

I've been here in Montana since June 11. Right now, I'm one day into my fifth drawing. I really need to hold myself to drawing five days a week. I haven't so far, but I'm doing pretty good.
