OK, I'm oddly nervous.
I just signed up for a creative writing course offered by the City of Santa Clara. Have I mentioned recently that I love living in a place with an actual budget and a commitment to community services?
It's four two-hour sessions starting in November. Anyone reading this journal knows I can write, the problem is doing it on a regular basis. The stories are in my head. I can see the entire plots of Rites and Wrongs and The Neon Sky clear as day. I fail when it comes to getting words onto the blank screen. Hopefully, this will help me get some better work habits and improve my narrative skills. Because my next goal in life is to be a published SF/F writer.
But I'm curious. What do y'all think about this?

Which is November.
goal is 50,000 words in 30 days (1700 words/day)

Any genre - anthologies of short stories, collections of essays.
Biggest benefit is, after writing every day for 30 days, writing every day has become a habit.
