Need Extra Motivation? Try NoRhym-O-ReMo

By Cam

This month I’m making a pledge.

Not that kind of pledge.

THIS kind of pledge:

A NoRhym-O-ReMo pledge (aka: No Rhyme or Reason Month).

I found out about this challenge from my dear Twitsom (aka: Twitter Soulmate, Ricki Schultz) who runs The Write-Brained Network. She’s declaring May: NoRhym-O-ReMo. If you’re familiar with NaNoWriMo, then this concept won’t be new to you. But other than the fact that it’s May and NOT November, the nice thing about NoRhym-O-ReMo is that you can set your own daily word count goal instead of squirming over the 50K flames that make up NaNoWriMo.

If you’ve been reading my blog, then you know I’ve been suffering from a bad case of The Funk. There were so many helpful suggestions to get over this hump and it was a relief to realize I’m not the only sufferer of this malady. But I think my brain has had enough. I think it’s time for ME to tell IT that it’s time to move on and GET TO WORK. And I think NoRhym-O-ReMo is the kick in the butt I need to push me to get something on the page. ANYTHING on the page.

I’ll enter my official goal on the Write-Brained site, but I’m stating here that I pledge to write at least 500 words a day. I know I’m low-balling this goal. I mean, heck, I can usually knock out 2K in one day EASY. Of course, that was when I had Muse dust spewing out of my fingers. Now that I’ve had some time off, I realize I’d probably do better by easing into the pool rather than cannon-balling in.

So who’s with me? Anyone ready to be held accountable for their wordcount???
