Roadblock: Don’t even try to stop. If you let yourself pause for a second, you’ll miss your daily goal! And then regrets! Doubts! Writer’s block! They are just waiting to snatch your muse while you go to the kitchen to refill your cup. Suspense: Do you know what the catch is? You won’t know until the last day if you can make it or not. Any day can be a turning point to the better, or to the worse! And it’s entirely up to you if your story has a happy ending. Goal: Just imagine what it will be like to hold the finished first draft in your hands on the first day of December. Just close your eyes and bask in the thought. Now stop daydreaming and get back to work. To everyone brave enough to go through with this challenge this one month in a year - you can do it. Whatever your story may be, you can win over every obstacle. But what waits for you in the end? A reward? Or perhaps a sequel? 5
