"Here's my thing: I need a deadline. I mean yeah, ok, without one I *might* get stuff done....*eventually*.  With one? It's suddenly much more possible, and much more likely.  The stuff I slide under the door two minutes before the <i>absolute last minute</i> is the best stuff I make, generally.  The only stuff better is the stuff I turn in two days late, after a week of no sleep and increasing conversations with my shoelaces. \r\n\r\nI've never done NaNoWriMo (not yet), but I have done FAWM the last two years.  February Album Writing Month - write and record fourteen songs (an album!) in one month.  It's incredible! I MAKE stuff! It's just that NanoWriMo is so daunting. But who says I have to write 50,000 words?  I think I'll ride that wave to just <i>make something</i>, and be happy I've made it."
