Every year I receive several invitations to participate in the annual writing competition called NaNoWriMo. And every time, I’m dying to take part and see if I can write 50 000 words in just one month.

Then I remember that:

1. There are only 30 days in November (surprise?) – which means I have to write about 1667 words every day for a month
2. Usually, I only have time to write on Sundays
3. And if I have a really good writing day, I can write about 10 000 words, provided….
4. ….I actually have a clue of what to write (which I don’t….)

So I guess the dream of completing this challenge is just as far-fetched this year as it was the previous year.

But then again, I would be really happy if I could write half that number. At least it’s better to give it a try and see how far I can get.

Besides, a half marathon is still an achievement, right?
