Greetings friends, I hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving. I know I sure did enjoy food, drink and merriment. So much so that I completely failed Challenge #2: Write an hour each day. Yup, did not make space for that during all the family time.
When you fail a challenge, there is no reason to dwell on it or throw the whole thing away. I remember as a kid I used to play Sim City. No, not The Sims, but Sim City. In that game you would create a city. You had a strict budget and you would have requirements like having to buy and build a firehouse and a hospital. You could also use this timelapse feature where you could speed ahead in time. I would get impatient with the slow growth of my city and speed up its development.
A trick to the timelapse is that natural disasters frequently occurred over time. So sometimes a fire would break out and you had to put the fire out before it burned down your city. Time and time again when my city suffered immense damage, I'd send out a slew of disasters to destroy it. It is like building a tower out of blocks and a few blocks come down so you knock the whole thing to the ground.
I promise I won't do that with this challenge. Instead, I'm going to pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again. Challenge #2 begins again on Monday 11/26. Write an hour every day. As I've said before this is a much needed challenge thanks to my book proposal that is due to an agent soon.
Onward and upward as they say!
