250 Words A Day

Okay, I am going to start working tomorrow on my 250 word a day / five days a week effort to write a novel. I decided to set the start date for tomorrow (Monday) since the goal is to write five days a week and it seems that it will work best to get that written on week days rather than weekends. I can count anything I get done on weekends as bonus points on the word count, or use the weekends to refine the outline. Which is what I am going to be working on tonight.

Tonight I am going to lay out a very broad basic outline for what I am going to be writing about. Get a general idea on the setting, characters and basic plot. That will be done in a small notebook, which I will use as a novel workbook from there on out.

I'm fairly sure that I can make 250 words a day, since I have taken a bit of time to nudge the words in this post around until it has exactly 250 words in it. And if I can write a single post, meandering though it may be, that has the target word count in it, and can write several different such posts on various blogs every day, plus the writing I do to my friends on AIM, then I can and will write 250 words on a novel each day, five days a week, until I have a finished novel.
