The Countdown Begins Today: 30 days, 100 pages

Ok. So. According to my action plan I'm supposed to be wrapping up the first draft of my book this month.

(Pause for laughter. And tears.)

This is sooo not going to happen, which is disappointing. But, it's not daunting. No, it's just a sign that I need to implement some drastic steps to get my goal accomplished. I need to do get back on schedule, and the first thing I'm going to do to get there is to set up some public accountability. In that vein, I hereby pledge to have 100 pages (of an estimated 200 page full piece) completed in 30 days. That means that by April 8th I will have 100 pages of my book written. Every week I will post my magic number and number of pages remaining.

Why so drastic, you may say? Well, first of all, it's 3 pages a day, essentially, so it's really not that bad. And writing being my absolute passion, I believe I owe it to myself to aim to write long enough to come up with 3 pages each day.

Secondly, I have to catch up! My cousin and I were talking about human nature and about people who have a tendency to under-perform and under deliver until the fire is put directly underneath their you-know-what. That's me! So, I think this will help.

Stay tuned... next week, I must have 21 pages written.

Also, here's my most recent post from my blog.
