I wrote my novel's last chapter a month or two before beginning this blog...and then stopped. I call writing my last chapter first "doing a Margaret Mitchell." Margaret Mitchell wrote the last chapter of Gone With the Wind before she wrote any other part of the book. So she had her ending in sight. This is what I'm trying to do and will see if it works for me.

In addition because I stopped writing a month or two ago for no apparent reason other than procrastination I was looking for a way to motivate myself to write every day. This blog will hopefully serve that end. I've announced that I have one year to complete my book. I did this online so technically it is in front of the whole world (even though I'm convinced I will have only three readers). So if I stop writing now it is potentially embarrasing. More tomorrow.
