For discussion: It seems like a fair number of people are starting off the month with a pretty good spring in their step. How do you keep the momentum going? Is it a daily writing practice? A weekly wordcount goal? A reward system? Or is there some other way you just keep going once you've started?

That just goes to show you never know. Yours is an excellent example of "you won't know until you try it" saying. :) And you've inspired me - I think I'll use this as a purely writing tool to help curb my urge to edit. Since the main point seems to be getting 750 words out regardless, it might stop me from editing because I'll feel like I have to reach that word count. Who knows... I may end up writing something I like. :) Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

Hee, good luck w/it! I don't always write fic in there -- sometimes it's just a really quick rant about work or something, particularly if I'm in a hurry/really tired/etc. -- but words are words, so at least I'm still writing. Also I like exporting each month's writing & going back & seeing that the things I've written are mostly better than I feared (this is why I have so many WIPs, though ^^;;;). :D
