It's National Novel Writing Month
[URL]http://www.nanowrimo.org[/URL]
The idea is to write at least 50000 words of a novel, by the 30th November.
I've signed up, finally decided to get a neovel written. 2200 words (ish) done on the first day.

If I had the time to devote to it, I could write 10,000 words a day.
But I don't.
And besides, such a lengthy piece would require a degree of forethought that I've never committed to my writing.
Maybe when I'm not working like a mule to get stuff done for the greater good of the company, I might be able to take time to look at writing something longer than 2,000 words, but not now.
Also, I cannot imagine having the patience to proof-read and edit something so large.

Well, considering that I've been writing a lengthy novel since around August, and I'm now at around the 32,000 words mark, I can't see that I'll be entering this...
Never! It will die with me - unread!
Actually, it's a surreal (and perverted) mess.
viz. a masterpiece ;-)

Post it, big lad!

50,000 words by November 30th... I'd never do it! Sometimes I spend a week on a single paragraph. Funnily enough though, I've nearly finished the novel I'm writing - current wordcount: 50,044 (and that's taken me 8 months).

Go to the Life forum and read the Tony Blair thread - Hedfix has completed that already and is well on his way to 100,000.

Just passed 10000 words. Behind schedule by 5000 or so, but I had a busy period of four or five days. Whether i get there or not, this is the single longest piece I have ever written. But it was 6000 odd words ago!
I'm going to sign up now sounds quite cool.
theres not much of an incentive. No prizes, no power, not even a certificate or hard copy of your written story.
With assignments coming in from all over the place and a mere 6 weeks to complete them, this isn't happening.

I'd do it but I'm crap at writing, which is a rather large problem for this sort of thing.
