And now for something completely different...
....write a novel in 30 days.
November is National Novel Writing Month. Participants in NaNoWriMo register now, and start writing at midnight (local time) on November 1st; the goal is to write a 50,000 word (175 page) novel by midnight, November 30th.
"Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved. Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly."
There are no fees to enter. Winners include everyone who submits 50,000 words by November 30th (word count verified by contest-runners). All winners get an official "Winner" web icon and certificate -- along with immense satisfaction, plus life-time bragging rights for writing a novel in 30 days.
The first NaNoWriMo launched in 1999 with 21 participants and 6 winners.
Last year 42,000 writers participated, and nearly 6,000 made it to the finish line.
So, sign up now! and start procrastinating :-)
