Hey there. I've decided to do the Row80 challenge. I'm challenging myself to use the last two rounds of the year to write a fantasy/action/adventure novel that I've been wanting to write. I'm going to use the first 20 days to outline my novel, then spend 44 days doing what I do.

I'll be going for my highschool diploma starting August 15th. We'll see if I can keep my word.

A little about me before you see my goals: I'm 37 years old, a transgender person (ftm, very masculine), I do not have a partner or children but I hope that changes in the future. Currently I reside at a nursing home, where I find myself unable to walk and am making ways to walk again. All I've ever wanted to do was write a book. I've finished fanfictions, but not original works except when I was 14. Which was a knock off of Buffy the vampire slayer.

I am also of the spiritual life and am something of a witch.

Manuscript Writing Goal: 5,000 words a day. (give or take a few)
Manuscript Total Goal for this round: 60,000 words.
Current Words: 0.
Writing Tools: My baby name book, googlefu for research, campfirewriting.com, googledocs, notebooks and pencils/pens.
Starting Point: July 16th.

Good luck to everyone. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys.

It is nice to meet you! I think it's awesome that you're going to do your highschool diploma - it's never too late :)

I also wish you all the best in your effort to learn to walk again.

Sorry to hear about your health problems but it sounds like you have a very strong spirit which is an admirable quality!

I love that you have been so keen on being a writer for so long as well, it's always been a passion of mine too but I've only ever managed short stories in the past as I wilt easy! I admire your enthusiasm for this writing event as just reading the rules made me feel pressured and that affects my writing!
