I am so late for work right now.

…and I’m posting anyway. This morning on Twitter, @inkyelbows posted a link to the 1000 words / 500 words challenge; you pick one, and then try for the next year to write either 1000 words a day or 500 words a day for six days out of the week. If you make it more often than not, you keep posting the badge on your site. If you don’t, well, hang your head in shame and take the badge off.

I’m giving the 1000 words challenge a shot, if only because I think it’ll be a nice kick in the ass – until I forget about it / get sidetracked by life / get writer’s block, which I inevitably will. But maybe it’ll motivate me to pick up the pen again sooner. So I start today, after I finish work and some web design stuff I need to focus on. Maybe I’ll stick a widget in the sidebar to post daily status, or something.

Wish me luck.
