Writing without a net

So one of the things that I have planned for the next few months is to complete a novel.

I've always been able to write to assignment, but completing something so large on my own has been beyond me so I'm trying the 30 day novel writing challenge. The main thing is to simply write every day and end up with a first draft of 50,000 words.

Most paperbacks weigh in at 80 - 100,000 words so the first draft is just the start, but at least it's a plan.
