If you don't know what it is, it's a personal challenge to write 50,000 words (a novel) in only one month (November)!



This year is going to be the first year I'm participating.
I plan on succeeding, too. I won't give up.

Is anybody else participating?

Can I take part even though I live across the pond? Well, I should have started mine in January and have written a few hundred words in ten months. Wish you all the best in the competition.

Oh yeah, would it need to be a story from scratch? My mind has been too occupied with the pre-existing idea so do I have seven days to think of a new idea!? Actually I do have an idea, but its ridiculous. But as they seem to be more interested in an art form (and not a competition) it seems it can afford to be :)

I plan to. It's my first year as well. Fingers crossed I won't get swamped with work this november.

Good luck, I haven't yet registered but when I do I'll look for you to add you as buddy (if that's ok)

I would love to do this, and I had planned to, but I might be too busy this year...

Good luck to everyone doing it though!

A friend of mind in Australia has done this before! I'd never heard of it until she wrote to me asking for info about Las Vegas, I guess her characters were getting married there! I've never taken any kind of writing classes but I love to write...it would be fun to participate just for the challenge of it. Hmmm.....

Planning on. First year for me as well -- I wasn't aware non-Americans could give it a shot.

What? I've never heard of this.

Aw man, I guess I could try. But I've already started a novel that I'm taking fairly seriously, so I don't know! It's hard for me to come up with ideas, but when I do I think they're usually good. Hopefully some great idea will pop into my head before November!

I would LOVE to...absolutely love to..

I just don't have the time :(

writing is one of my therapies

That's really interesting... I think I'll give it a try I'm already doubting myself though lol
