A Shout Out to Sofa

This guy should be a trainer. Singlehandedly, he may have saved my NaNoWriMo attempt from crushing failure.

I was feeling blocked. I started out pretty strong, getting in my daily allotment of words. Then, after I reached 10,000 words, it got hard. My productivity was slipping fast. I was skipping entire days without writing. That's significant when we've only got 30 days to do this in. Yikes, that's only 11 more days! Luckily, Sofa has taken it upon himself to dog my butt. He's layed down a challenge for today. A word count goal. I'm not there yet, but at least I've broke with recent precedent and spat out a sizable chunk of words. Don't know if they're the right words, but it's guantity, not quality. Must keep repeating: DON'T GET IT RIGHT, GET IT WRITTEN! PUT ONE WORD AFTER ANOTHER! MUNCH THAT ELEPHANT!

Tonight, I can go blank.
