Don't be. 1600 words per day will ultimately feel like you're just getting started. Go in without fear, stick with it, never edit. Be sloppy, be stupid, be whatever. You'll feel awesome when you win. I'm gonna go for it this year, and I like my odds. I got a story burning a hole in my head anyway, trying to get out, so I might as well channel it.

Ahhhh, I'm really excited. It's just so daunting, especially with me being a student! What's your story about? Maybe explaining it to someone could help it be more streamlined or something.
