National novel writing month. I heard Deanna talk about it and I signed up today. The deal is you get until November 30th to write 50000 words.

I've got 49186 left.

BTW, I used the search tool and nothing came up, but I swear I've seen this thread before. Oh well.

you're durn tootin' you heard me talk about it.

perhaps you saw this thread last year? maybe when brian did it?

I dunno.

Im up to 1803.

Damn.....so far to go.

i refuse to check my word count for the remainder of the evening. i think i'm also going to change the margins or something in my document so it looks longer. i'm a bit sad that i'm only on my ninth page of text.

2000 words a day, kiddies. make it happen.

1667, bitch. are you trying to make me hit 60,000?

so whats it about?

Why wouldn't you just type out "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." and just copy and paste it until you've got 50,000?

because "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy" makes for a terribly boring novel.

Speak for yourself.



And remember, it's quantity, not quality that counts.

Oooh, my friend was telling me about this a few months ago!

trust me, do 2000. you'll thank me when thanksgiving rolls around.

Mine is bad. Really, really bad. I ought to be typing a thesis

I didn't know anything about this, but I've been pushing a manuscript with some agents who are interested. I'm on page 70 is all, but it's the best writing of my life. It's a kind of Ishmael for the state of education in America/the post-industrial world.

this is pretty cool. I'll try to get this shit done by the end of the month.

anyone trying this year? I'm off to an ok start.. We shall see how it goes!
