500 words a day or I pay

[flonnebonne]

How I force myself to write now: I gave my brother $5, and if I don't write an average of 500 words per day this month, he gets to keep the cashola. (Actually, it's only $2 for January, since we started in the middle of the month, but it'll be $5 next month.)

My brother is totally okay with "helping out" in this way. In fact it was his suggestion.

I am enough of a cheapskate that this is actually working.

Hm, that's an idea! Thank you! I think I'll do that once I've hammered out some of the basic plot and character stuff I'm working on right now. It's really important I get these foundational things right, or else I'll end up writing a lot of wasted words later.
