Month Five, Day One!

[wintergrey]

Today is my unbirthday and also May Day, so it is one of my favourite days. It's the start of the May challenge, too.

So, how do you go about reaching your goals? Do you plan it out step-by-step, set deadlines, poke at it, do it all as fast as you can, or wait until the last minute? Have you ever wanted to try a different strategy? How are you going to do it this month?

My friend, sometimes you simply have to GO THERE. You have to Star Trek that sucker. It can also be liberating—sometimes writing the WTF is what breaks my writer's block, which is always awesome.
