36,233 words written so far…

Yet another one of my very well thought out completely irrational and insane plans is hanging like an albatross around my neck.

The book.

One month.  50,000 words.  A five day weekend around the corner with the kids and husband home and, like 0 time to work on writing a book.

I’ve written 36,233 words so far.  That leaves 13,767 to go.  That means I need to write 984 words per day to finish by my ridiculously tight self-inflicted deadline.

Of course, the stated goal here is to finish the manuscript.  The goal is not to have it wrapped up in a pretty word package ready for the printing presses.  I just need to finish it.

So if you have ever set yourself a completely unrealistic goal, how did you get the job done?  I’m reaching out for encouragement here.  Help!
