I need to brag.  I wrote 50,321 words in one month.  This was the requirement to get to display the  winner logo and get a certificate verifying I wrote that many words.  It’s not these things I strove to accomplish.  It was the idea of disciplining myself to write almost every day and writing as many as 3000 words in a day to accomplish my goal.  … [Read more...] about I Did It – Wrote a 50,321 Novel in a Month
