*gulp* Last year 130k people tried and only 26k succeeded. I found the idea really daunting at first until I thought about the alternative, which was ending up not writing my novel for another 5 or 10 years or ever like most people do. It works out to less than 2000 words per day which is actually considerably less scary than 50000 words and the NaNoWriMo community really do seem to be ultra supportive. They organize meets as well as moderate an email list so that the community can motivate each other and help people who are stuck. I was just really stuck and this is really what the docotor ordered!! Now I’m quite confident I’ll finish in time, whether this first draft will be any good or not, that’s another story completely.

On the sleep thing, I actually get by with 4 hours (sometimes less) sleep a day with no problems making it through my day job and if anything my health and energy levels the last year have been better than they’ve ever been. More on that in a future series of posts

@Sean@build a website Indeed Sean and i find that these ruts increase in depth exponentially relative to our action or inaction. It still constatntly amazes me how many things I've accomplished that at one time thought was impossible for me. A week ago 50000 words scared me to death, a week on I'm actually more worried whether I'll pick the right 50000 words. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog.

When will you sleep? 50,000 quality words in 30 days! Are you serious??? If you can do it, that’ll be amazing. I sincerely wish you all the best, Michael.

Wow Michael – Way to push yourself. It’s good to force yourself out of your comfort zone every now and then it makes the difference between living and existing. I heard a saying once that was “the difference between a grave and a rut is the depth”.

Good luck on the novel.
