Nat provides an update on his attempt to write a sci-fi novel draft in 30 days. With 70,117 words written so far, he's on track to finish early, potentially in the 85,000 - 100,000 word range. Keeping an outline and 'problem sheet' has been essential to maintain momentum. He's learned the importance of pushing through emotional dips, much like enduring cramps during a marathon. Social media has proven to be an incredible distraction, reinforcing his focus on producing substantive work over ephemeral online noise.
