I'm going to do this a little differently.

There's no way in hockeysticks that I can write 50,000 words in a single month (I am not that kind of writer, but best of luck to everyone who's going for it because that is an amazing goal even if you don't make it quite all the way), so I'm setting a... much more modest goal of just writing everyday I'm able and trying to draft the first four chapters of my novel. I know, it's underwhelming and probably isn't fit to be posted in this forum, but for me that's a lot and I need all the added motivation I can get XD

The story is unnamed so far (I'll probably do that once the first draft is close to finished). I have it plotted out surprisingly well for someone who can't plot stories. My main characters are sketched up well enough for a beginning, so... all I've got left to do is start writing I suppose.

Right after I set the perfectionistic editor on her stool in the corner, excuse me a moment.

Stringbean this is a FABULOUS goal! Nothing wrong with setting the intention to write every day and not focusing on word count :)
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good... then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness.
