Novel-writing in 30 days

[Taliesin]

When you think that november is going to be a boring and tedious month with nothing to do, then there is a cure:

I got to the place from one person's signature. I don't think that I could do it now; perhaps next year, but this forum seems insa... eccentric enough that there would be people who would be interested (http://www.nanowrimo.org/)

Has anyone from here participated before?

It's a crazy idea! and I'm not crazy of course :lol: but I know a couple of people who are, thanks for the link. heehee

[ajoe]

I wish I had nothing to do.

Wow, I never have attempted, nor could I ever, most likely, write so quickly; however, I commend those who have that ability.
An interesting trivia fact: rumor has spread over decades that J.D. Salinger wrote The Catcher in the Rye in a mere 4 or 5 days!

[Sancho]

Your kidding, that's amazing.

Here's another rumor: It was Truman Capote who actually wrote To Kill a Mockingbird.

It is said that Stephen Crane wrote "The Red Badge of Courage" in ten days flat.

I wrote a book in two months...

Started out in november... started over on November 15 Ended December 31.

It was only 35,000 words... so not quite a novel.

This year, i intend to write a full sized novel... although i'm not sure what about yet.

Being an angst writer, i'll have to pay someone to hurt me or something.

(kidding, of course)

Haha fool, how about imagine the agnst while punching your punching bag and then write it down. How is the book coming editing wise, peer editing wise?

[subterranean]

What would happen if I don't finish it on time?
Sorry, I'm still quite unclear with how it works

[imthefoolonthehill]

simon. it kind of came to a halt... i showed it to the people who were in it.

i emailed some local authors club and am waiting to talk to them... i'd take a more aggressive aproach with it, but i don't know what to do, and i just came home from a 5 hour calculus session... and my brain is kinda fried... and i'm just kind of swamped right now with various homework, scholarsihp stuff and the like.
