November is National Novel Writing Month.
Wait… one month? As in four weeks plus change? You can’t write a novel that fast! J.K. Rowling takes two years. Well, apparently these crazies do it, and I’m thinking of joining them. 50,000 words in 30 days. It sounds like it produces a buch of garbage novels (I mean, when is there time to edit?), but it also sounds like loads of fun. 2,000 words a day, leaving 5 days for hack-editing (I figure one day a week editing time). That actually sounds quite manageable, considering I now do 1,000-word flash fictions in 90 minutes on weekends. 2-4 hours of writing a day. Hrm… We’ll see how I feel about it in a couple months.
