50K Writing Challenge Day 3
50K Writing Challenge:
I know that the nonprofit organization behind National Novel Writing Month (a.k.a. NaNoWriMo) is no more. However, I still plan to embrace the original creative writing challenge of writing 50k words during the month of November. I'm doing this because a) it's fun, b) it helps motivate me to finish what I start, and c) well, why not? I'll post my daily progress to keep myself accountable to readers.
#50KWritingChallenge Day 3: I wrote 2514 words.
>5000 words total.
The Challenge:
Write 50k words in 30 days on 1 writing project.
The Rules:
-Start Day is November 1.
-Finish Day is November 30.
-Write 6 days a week, rest 1 day.
-Will write ~2000 words a day.
-Will use AI to EDIT ONLY.
I'm incredibly happy with my progress so far. The speech-to-text tool that I'm using on my phone is really helping streamline the writing process. I'm able to write will driving on my daily work commute, which is something that I have never been able to do during past competitions. It has helped so much!
Here is a part of the yet unnamed story that I've written so far:
My Dearest Raven,
How quickly the seasons pass. Yesterday, you were a mere fledgling in my keeping. Today, I must surrender you to the world. However, I have not given you up to the Battle for Echo heedless of its dangers. The moment that you first looked into heaven's sky and desired to fly, I began preparing you for the fall. And indeed you have taken to my wisdom. Among all of my daughters you may well prove the greatest not because you were the firstborn or the last hatched or even the most skilled in weaponry or tactics, but because in your humility you are forever eager to learn and to try. As a wise griffin once said, "Great deeds are not accomplished by the able; they are accomplished by the willing." This little volume is my last gift of wisdom to you. Heed the advice within these pages and it will serve you well. Remember, cry out when you need me for I will always answer when you call.
All my love,
Father Phoenix
