A conversation
Nov. 3rd, 2010 06:49 amMy Professor: Wait -- would it be totally impossible for you to have a draft of this essay by 3pm Friday? (pause) Actually, never mind, obviously it's an unreasonable goal --
Me (thinking of NaNo): I thrive on unreasonable goals. Challenge accepted!
And thus, I'll be spending most of my free time between now and Friday at 3pm working on my 20-page senior-thesis-precursor essay about Pride and Prejudice instead of writing my novel, but that's okay, because 50k is not that much, I'm fully capable of pulling off a 12k day (and have done so for two days in a row once, and could possibly repeat the feat if necessary), and my paper idea is just about as awesome as my novel idea, so no hard feelings.
Also, this means the only time I'll be online between now and then is for work-related stuff, and communications of absolute necessity. (Yes, this counts as one of those.)
