Have any of you looked at the Procrastination Station section on the home page of NaNoWriMo? It has some interesting topics to read. One of them was where a lady received a glow stick and she proceeded to write until it stopped glowing. Or rather, she attempted to. It was a long-lived glow stick. So, I decided to adopt the challenge with a few twists of my own.

First of all, I bought my glow sticks from the dollar store. That right there ensures that they're low quality. They won't glow as long. So, enter in a "difficult" challenge for myself. By the end of tomorrow night, I want to have 25K words. Gotcha. I bought bracelets instead of the bar. Ooh, even shorter glowing time. I have 3 boys who think that anything that glows is awesome. See the challenge yet?

Here's my challenge: Write 8,900 words before my bracelet stops glowing and/or before my kids find it and run away with it.

I'll probably wear the bracelet. Sort of a constant reminder of what I should be doing. It can nag me as it follows me around. However, you never know with children. I might take it off and sit it on my desk if it gets in my way when I'm typing. If I leave it unattended to go to the bathroom, Poof! It just might disappear due to children. So it's dangerous! I'm going to cheat and start later this evening when they've gone to bed. However, that makes it harder for me because I'll have to go to sleep at some point. Will the bracelet still be glowing in the morning? Ooh... The horror of it all! LOL

Okay, I'm nuts. Never did deny that. It will be fun, though! I'll let you know on Monday if I won or not.
