Training for Nano in November

We're Training for Nano in November!

We want to get used to sitting down and writing every day, so we came up with a plan to write every day for at least the greater of:

June- 200 words or 10 minutes
July-300 words or 10 minutes
August- September 15- 400 words or 15 minutes
September 16-October 500 words or 15 minutes

*RULE: one rest day per week and and one "bye day" that you can make up in combination with any of the other days of the week. We're busy professionals, we can't be doing this every day no matter how much we want to!

June 6 (Day 2)

Whew, well that was a close one. I thought I might need my pass on the second day of training. But I finally managed to turn off Doctor Who and get a few hundred words in just under the wire.

Good call ChiHeather on starting with 200 words instead of 500. 200 was the perfect amount -- attainable, but requiring more than adding a sentence to an existing paragraph. I can see that even small goals are going to be a challenge to hit with consistency.

Hopefully by the time NaNo rolls around we'll be so buff from training that we can press out 1300 words without blinking. Um . . . I'm definitely not there yet, but Day 2 goal is achieved.

Till tomorrow.
