island tales #69

i first heard about it while reading strizzt's rantglass.

it sounded interesting enough to be filed into the 'keep in mind' folder in my head. 50,000 words in a month? sounds do-able... didnt i use to churn out 500 word essays in an under hour back in secondary school? quick calculation: 500 words an hour, would mean a hundred hours of writing. which equals roughly 25 hours a week. 2 hours a day on weekdays, 7 hours and then some on weekends.

then i read about it again in the papers. and again in 5xmum's blog.

so yes! count me in! check out the guy carrying the pencil on the left if you have no idea what im talking about. click on that pic to find out more.

as for the whole indecision thing... i guess it has been resolved for now. :) sometimes life is like a ship: long periods of calm weather, and then a storm comes along and you crash headon with it. i've heard once that it's always best to sail directly towards a storm rather than try to outrun it, and hope for the best. hm.

current weather: drizzling!

Heh. I think it'll be a challenge anyway, to write a 50,000-word novel while having to juggle with other commitments. :)
