Accountability

I write a lot on here. I got to thinking about how I always wanted to be a writer. I realized that I already am in a way. Sure I only have a few 100 regular readers, but I'm still a writer.  Then I watched this movie Julie & Julia.

Yes, these two things are connected.

So, I didn't like the ending of the movie much but I did like the middle and the concept. So I've decided I'm going to do something starting today. It's probably a little insane considering all of the life changes I'm currently going through, but I feel like I need to for a number of reason.

Starting today I'm going to set out on a 20,000 word 30 day eBook challenge.

Yes I am quite possibly clinically insane. I'm recently divorced, trying to lose weight, in a new relationship, with a daughter and about to start back to work... but I'm going to add one more thing to that list of huge things I want and need to do.  Why on earth would I want to do that?

Well, that's simple to answer. I've never finished anything in my life. Or so I thought. I've started many stories and never finished a single one. Then I realized I have. I write in this blog. I finish it every time I publish a new entry. I was watching that movie Julie & Julia and realized that I have this need to finish a book. It's deep inside me. I always wanted to be a writer. Do I feel the need to an accomplished writer who makes lots of money? No. I just want to write. That's all. I just want to know that my words are out there. And if even one person reads it, that's enough.

So, I'm about to go for a run. After I do that I'm going to start on my new challenge.  I will try to write on here every day how I'm doing with my writing challenge.

Let the insanity begin.
