deathly

ok so i got convinced by pico to give this nanowrimo thing a whirl. it's a good idea, really, since i've had writers block since about 1997. it was hard enough to think of an idea/plot. but now i've got to write 50,000 words? well, it seemed surmountable until i figured out that that's about 175 pages. and until i realized (last night while trying to get to sleep) that that breaks down to about 6 pages a day. wow. for me, that's like not knowing how to drive and then building a rocketship. i may just break up during re-entry. so i've noticed that while i've tried to write a bit each day, i'm really just tinkering with the prologue and haven't even inched towards the real story. this is definitely a mental block scared type of thing. must move past prologue. NOW.
