By now it is fairly obvious to me that I will be unable to achieve the 50,000 word goal by November 30th. To be honest I am not sure I ever actually planned to meet that deadline. The thing with me is that I always get inspired the night before something is due, but I cannot produce anything until the deadline has been crossed and an extension granted. Tonight I am granting myself an extension because this whole process had stirred up many positive things. I am writing, and focused, in a way that I have not been for years. Besides my work with George all other potential creative projects were imaginary. Now I have a beginning and many notes to work with over the next few months.

I will still be posting every day on the blog, and working on my “novel”. I just refuse to make this something else I feel guilty about for not getting done under the time constraints.
