Winter gremlins

Once again, I signed up for RWAus 50kin30days. Again.

WHAT WAS I THINKING????

It is freezing cold (for Adelaide, which means maybe as low as 8 degrees) and there are sniffles and scratchy throats abounding and all I want is to nap. But I'm trying to write 1667 words a day.

Great plan me.

 
This is actually snow from our trip to Japan - but it feels cold!!

But so far (with the exception of the day my cold thing got me) I've got pretty close to that. Every day. That's with sick kids and going out (who plans social events in winter?? #hibernate) and general wanting to throw my hands up and say it's all too hard.

Why?

Well, there's the small hate-to-fail issue I have happening and I told people I would do it. There's the advice and support on the forums and there's the habit. I'm in this story, loving the characters and it is kind of fun. Lots of fun, even. Eleven more days to go and it might just happen...

Have you tried one of these challenges?
