Also, I'd be willing to have a go at it. Might as well, and it might produce something unexpected. "my biggest problem has always been that just producing material into a vacuum is no fun."

I totally agree.

Also, I'd be willing to have a go at it. Might as well, and it might produce something unexpected.

One is that I definitely will have to work, and that eats away not only a lot of time, but also most of my energy. The second problem is that I do my stuff in English, and it's so tough to write in something that isn't your native language. On the other hand, of course, it would be a great opportunity to define some actual goals for myself - my biggest problem has always been that just producing material into a vacuum is no fun. Mh, we'll see. I kind of see two problems. One is that I definitely will have to work, and that eats away not only a lot of time, but also most of my energy.

You will be amazed at the amount you are able to write if you set your sights on the goal and just keep plugging along. It's not always easy and there were times I definitely wanted to quit, but last year was my first year and I finished with over 55,000 words. If I can do it, anyone can :) If we aren't in the middle of our move in November, I am definitely going to do it again. Nils, I definitely think you should go for it!
