Week #3 (Novel): Day 5 update
A few times times this week I’ve run into friends who’ve commented, “Shouldn’t you be writing?” I can’t tell whether it’s sarcastic because all of my friends are comedians.
This goal seems more feasible now than when I chose it, and I’m trying to make it my first success. Thursday is over and I’ve only written 1,930 words, but I’m picking up speed as I go, and I’m planning to dedicate Friday and Saturday almost exclusively to writing.
The character I’m writing as is either a slightly weirder version of myself, or a version of myself that’s no more weird, but is more willing to discuss the ways in which he’s weird. I’m still planning to post the full novel when it’s ready.
I haven’t decided yet what I’m doing next week. A few things people have sent in:
- Get a personal thank-you note from a millionaire
- Sit through an entire high school class without being kicked out
- Kiss a B-list or higher celebrity
- Get on a national news show
- Catch some type of wildlife without professional assistance
- Do 5,000 pushups in one week
