Well those are some great little practice suggestions I must say.
I have to say that another incentive to getting words written down can come from being a freelance writer getting paid by the word. The realisation that if you don't finish that 2400 word article by 5 pm, you won't get paid is a powerful inducement to writing.
Absolutely. It's a major challenge, and there's a good reason why so little literature is written in the second person. No-one said the exercises were necessarily easy.
There's a pretty good corpus of work to be found written in second person, although to call it literature is a pretty large exaggeration in quality and consistency. I can provide links to a few exceptional examples, but reading it isn't really for the faint of heart.
At least it's not fanfiction, though.
What are you thinking of?
I meant in your lifetime as a writer rather than a single project!I personally like to break things down into 2000 word chunks. 100K words is intimidating; 2K are easily manageable - just half a day's work. Then stitch them together.
