Done watchin’?

Posted: under writing.

Woo-hoo! Here we are, at the dawn of 2010, feeling accomplished already; who needs New Years Resolutions?

Writing every day isn’t an easy thing to do, it’s one of the biggest hurdles an aspiring writer has to face. But it couldn’t hurt to resolve to write (almost) everyday from here on forward, could it? :)

The break-down:

  1. A “Knock-out” is 0-249 words. (After the three Days of Reprieve are exhausted!)
  2. An “Update” is 250-999 words.
  3. A “Session” is 1,000-1,667 words.
  4. A “Tougher-than-NaNo” is anything greater than 1,667.
  5. A “THE END!” is when you’ve completed your WIP and type ‘THE END’.
