Starting off with falling behind.
I began early today starting at 7:00 a.m. and got my first 300 words done within about half an hour. I noticed that I’m quite out of practice when it comes to writing fiction. Due to my profession, almost all texts I write are either legal or technical so my prose is also starting to sound extremely sterile and boring. When I was younger I liked to write in english but since I don’t read as much english fiction as back then my vocabulary is not sufficient any more to write a whole novel in english. On the other hand my german is too technical and not very flowery when it comes to fiction. Yet I decided to go with the lesser of two evil and start my novel in german. Well it is clumsy and it is hard and I hope that due to practice it will get better. I also fell behind on the schedule right away because I haven’t written any more than the initial 300 words. Probably things will go as with my first challenge and I will make up time on weekends and lose it again during the week. As long as I don’t fall behind too much this should be alright.
