Last year was my first attempt at the 50 000 word challenge - I made it to 10 000. This year, I want to at least double that output. You writers out there will know how difficult it is to get so many words out while still keeping up a good plot going. Or maybe it's just me. I have a huge wall whenever I try to pull my guts out and smear them into sense. So, the method I'm going to employ this go around is the age-old technique of word vomit, or stream-of-consciousness, whatever you will. But, there will be semblance of order: every chapter will be based on a word of the day. I need to expand my vocab most desperately. And there will be characters! And a plot! I'm going to try not to be all post-moderny, but considering one of the characters is going to be a punk in an anarchist environment, I'm making no promises.
If you like writing, you may want to consider taking up this challenge yourself - it's definitely motivated me to write more honestly and it's a lot of fun seeing what comes out of a month full of writing!
