November is national novel writing month, the time of year when writers informally challenge each other to knock out at least 50,000 words or so. I have decided to accept the challenge. My goal is to write about 50,000 words of short fiction this month or roughly 2,000 words a day six days a week (every day but Thanksgiving and Sundays--I'm working at a busy urgent care center every Sunday this month except the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend). I'll be periodically updating my progress (if any) below--so check back often and keep me honest and true!
