End of Day 4 Word Tally: 14,723

Oh so tired. Not as much as I wanted, and I’m disappointed about it. But will rectify it in the morning. Its 3:30am and I need to just go to sleep. I keep nodding off.

My hubs returns as well, should be interesting to see how much writing I get done.

And I’ve officially completed the first chapter. I am thinking that its a good possibility that I will need more than 50,000 words for this story. If I keep up my pace though hopefully I will finish it on time.

Chapter two is started, I’ll work on it tomorrow. Now its time for sleep.

If I had stuck to my 4,000 daily go today’s cut off would have been 12,000 maybe I can make it up tomorrow.

Most of which was written in the late evening early morning hours of day 2 but we won't worry about that.

My goal for today was to get in 4,000 words, it almost happened but I'm too damned tired to worry about that other 893, so I am off to bed. More writing tomorrow, or rather later today.

I have for years known about this little challenge. I could always come up with some form of an excuse for why I shouldn't do it. But this year I am.

I write fan fiction, which means I really just steal characters from a well known book and screw with and manipulate them into what I want them to be. Sad really.

My first fan fiction is over 200,000 words. It's not very original and was my first ever attempt to actually share my writing with people outside of myself. I started it on January 27th and finished it April 7th.

I figure if I can write over 200,000 words in the span of just under four months, then I should have no problem getting 50,000 done in 30 days. The main challenge for me is going to be what I decide to write about.

A novel in a month sounds daunting and scary. But I am determined to try this and see what happens. Join me if you will... should be an interesting ride.

Now I just need to decide what to write about...
