It's Approaching!

After having done a bit of research on the biggest distractions to writing, I will be trying to frequent the downtown cafe Helios as much as possible. This is a great environment for writing. There are plenty of seats, interesting people to use as the characters of the novel, and a steady supply of coffee, beer, wine and vegetarian delights. Wrapped up in a local cafe that I feel good about supporting and doing my part to get us out of the recession, I plan on making this my partial residence this month. So feel free to come by the cafe during the day, as I'm trying to treat this novel writing like a part-time job.

Also, please don't hesitate to spread the word about the blog. I'll make a promise now, one that I may end up regretting by the end of the month. For every person who “follows” the blog, above five, I will write an additional 100 words a day. So get your friends to follow the blog and watch me scramble to increase the word count. So, as I have to write 1,667 words a day, with ten people following the blog, my daily total would increase to 2,167 words a day.

P.S. I also have a pretty busted up keyboard for my laptop. So if anyone knows someone who has a USB keyboard that they're trying to give away I would be happy to buy it from them.
