Ahoy.
For a LONG time now I've had this goal: to actually get butt in chair and write a novel. I think I've started about 50 or 60 of them over the last 10 years or so. I've read enough forums and listened to enough podcasts on the subject of writing to realise that mine is not a unique experience. I'm sure many folks here have unfinished projects lying around (or deleted in frustration after they'd been sitting, dormant, on a hard disk somewhere for months on end).
I am begging, nay, grovelling for your encouragement, accountibility, and rage. I am assigning myself a reasonable quota of 2000 words per week, in any document relating to the novel, whether it be the novel itself, the "story bible" to use a Murism, or any of the character profiles.
I'll be keeping tallies of the word counts in each document, as well as mentioning what chapter I'm working on. If you're interested, feel free to ask questions about my novel, and if I feel I can answer them without giving too much away, I will!
Story Bible: 1353
Char-Cor: 811
