3 days

When: November 1, 2008
Where: Anywhere, everywhere.
What: Words, 50K of them
How: that is the question many of us are asking.
Why:To prove to myself I can make it as a writer with deadlines and have 3 kids (2 plus husband.)
Adapt? I need to get 2x18 inch length of chain to lower the baby swing on the deck. I hope to spend mornings outside in the backyard, writing as well as I can in the glare off the computer. The 2 yr old playing happily however and the baby swinging. It's been nice temperature wise, a bit chilly in the a.m. which is good to wake up a caffeine free writer. I will not be starting at 12:01 11/1. Being a mom, I need to get a good night's rest before I attempt to be mom+writer, so I will be starting around 7:20 am instead. The baby will still be sleeping and the 2 yr old will be eating breakfast and watching cartoons. I will warm up my spot on the couch, eat cereal with my fingers, drink a big glass of water and write about 2K words. At least that's my plan. That's where the future 'Adapt' will come in. I will not be sticking with 1 plan the whole way through, unless it works. And the first plan working 100% is not realistic. I will prevail.

It's always good to have a starting point, and then be flexible to meet your goals. Sometimes, you find ways that you'd completely miss if you insisted on sticking to the original plan, ways that can open up new types of creativity!
