. 60,000 words for me might be less difficult than 25,000 for someone who hasn't written anything since college.

An old joke? I just don't plot well. Now or then, and I have done writing since college.

I typically have a really good basic plot, with the beginning, end, and two or three points in the middle...but they all end up as writing islands, with no way to get from one place to the next. I'm hoping that doesn't happen, but it's quite likely.

I've never finished anything longer than a short story. I've started...but not finished. So my goal should be not to FINISH, but to make it to 50,000 before I give up in disgust again. ;-)

3000 words to write tomorrow, if I wanna get caught up!
