Am I April-Fooling Myself? & 13 Days 'Till April

It's been several days since I've come to the realization that I've set myself up for TWO (that's right) writing contests in one month. Judging from my previous success (ahem) I don't know what to hope for and that might be good so I won't disappoint myself. Speaking of my "success," I think I can now safely say that I've climbed out of the non-writing hole and my Muse is resurrected. She refuses to say where she went, if she'll leave again, and most importantly HOW I make sure she won't... so I must use every second I have with her productively. For several days, I've kept a steady pace of about 1.5 pages per day, so I think I'm doing okay. Of course, it's no match for "crazy contest" pace, but it's better than back in November (one of the few times I allow myself to use "epic fail").


Going back to the real subject, I've decided to set a low goal for the current project, probably around 6000 words, but do Script Frenzy full scale. I'm a little worried that I'll drop the novel because working on two things at once never works for me, but if I can keep up my steady writing pace throughout March, maybe April won't be so bad. Or at least not an epic fail.
