== Writing Challenges ==


'''Myke:''' Let's say it was, it was 90 minutes a day.

'''Brad:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Myke:''' I don't have that. Right. I couldn't find that. And so.

'''Myke:''' Like, what if you miss a day? Then you've got to, like, now you've got two times. Like, it's not, it doesn't go away, does it? You can't just. No, no. Especially with what you're doing. Yeah. Because there is an amount that you have to hit, which is. Yeah. You know, like if you're writing the books, and I imagine a lot of people, like, they're writing the books and maybe they miss a day or two or whatever and they get to the end and then maybe they kind of just, like, rush the end and like, oh, it's like 3,000 words under, but I got a book and it's done. Right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. You don't have that.

'''Brad:''' No, no. So, like, I have to have, I have a different mindset of accomplishment, right? It's an accomplishment thing. Right? So, my mindset has to be, like, what am I trying to accomplish? Because in the end, I'm not going to have a first draft of a novel. Right?

'''Myke:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Brad:''' So, that's the challenge for me. And that's what I've been thinking about. And I, the reason why I'm finally committing to this is I can't stop thinking about it. Okay. Right? I can't stop thinking about it. Even though, like, I'm not built for this. Like, this is not my thing. Right? This is, like, I'm not your daily commitment guy. Like, that's generally not my thing because my days are not structured. So, I can fit this in, like, equally every day. So, I'm going to figure out how to do it.

'''Myke:''' Well, I look forward to us checking back in on it as November rolls around.

'''Brad:''' Yeah. November 2nd is going to be a big day.

'''Brad:''' Are we done already, Brad? The horrible mistake we've made.
