And I did it. 25,000 words exactly! (I came up six words short at the end of my last piece, so I tucked in a few more adjectives.)

I’ve been doing well so far – I’ve got more than 20,000 words. My goal of posting 900+ words daily isn’t going to happen because I had a major event scheduled this past weekend, but that’s okay – I think I’ll be happy if I knock out at least 25,000 words.
tikva pointed me to an excellent idea: NonFicWriMo. Not everyone can write fiction, so February 2006 is going to be a month of writing for the rest of us! There are two goal options – an essay a day or 25,000 words for the month (you can also choose to do both). I think I’m going to take the “do both” route and aim to produce a 900-word essay daily. Figuring out what to write about won’t be easy; I could take the sneaky way out and use things I’ve already written but I don’t think I want to do that. Instead maybe I will use a letter of the alphabet for a topic heading each day, although that leaves two days unsettled.
