November is National Novel Writing Month

This was brought up in my creative writing class, and I've decided to take advantage of it. I don't know EXACTLY what I'll be writing about...I think it will be more exciting and more of a challenge of I start something completely new. Here are the guildines:

What: Writing one 50,000-word novel from scratch in a month's time.

Who: You! We can't do this unless we have some other people trying it as well. Let's write laughably awful yet lengthy prose together.

Why: The reasons are endless! To actively participate in one of our era's most enchanting art forms! To write without having to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work.

When: You can sign up anytime to add your name to the roster and browse the forums. Writing begins November 1. To be added to the official list of winners, you must reach the 50,000-word mark by November 30 at midnight. Once your novel has been verified by our web-based team of robotic word counters, the partying begins.

50,000 words in thirty days. That's about 1700 words a day. Possible? We'll see!
