Speaking of novels, I'm planning on participating in the 2010 Nanowrimo. For those of you who don't know NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel, about 175 pages, during November. You can write out plots, character profiles, anything you want, EXCEPT the novel before November. You have to write the whole novel during November. You then submit your story to www.nanowrimo.org. There is an official word counter and it counts the words in your novel, and if you reached 50,000+, you get a purple 'Winner!' picture for your author profile.
There is no real prize for winning, and you don't have to publish or anything. You keep all your rights to the novel. Some people go A and B the C of D and actually submit their novels for publishing. You can find a list of those novels here.
Occasionally, I may provide you with a photo/excerpt from my ideas, it depends on how confident I'm feeling :) I hope you join me on this, if you do- send me your author profile in a comment. Even if you don't join, support all us idiots who are going for it. Not, that it's a bad thing. Just who is crazy enough to write 1,667 words a day, 70 words per hour, 2 words a minute, 1 word every 30 seconds, every moment of November? *cough* someone I know *cough*
