A goal to write one million words in a single year may seem like a massive task. Here is one writer's attempt to do just that.

Before I Begin

I like to make goals. Unfortunately, I'm not as good at keeping goals as I am at making them. However, for a few years now, I've had this idea that I want to write one million words all in one year. I recently got myself all pumped up to do it, but decided that I didn't want to wait until 2016 to start it, so from September to September, I'm going to write one million words.

That's about three thousand words per day, which I can write in about an hour if I put effort into it.

Now is where this blog comes in. I know very well that I need something to keep me motivated and looking toward the goal. A blog, updated hopefully daily, is just the thing to do so.

While I write these one million words, I plan to finish twenty of my unfinished works, although I have plenty more.

Every day, I'll check in, tell you what I worked on that day, if I made my goal, and so on. I may even give samples of the writing.

Wish me luck!
