 Posted: 11/02/05 - 08:22 Post subject: National Novel Writing Month
Just curious if anyone here would consider giving it a try?????????
http://www.nanowrimo.org/
Check out the FAQs section for more info
Free time wise, November is a bad month but I'm gonna give it a try - i have a good start - on our first wedding anniversary (gift = paper) i wrote a short story on how the lovely and talented Mrs Prohemp and I met, fell in love yadda yadda yadda leading up to the day we were married - I'll just build on that (if i can find the file).
Who's with me?

I don't know much about you and I have never met the lovely and talented Mrs, so if I was to write about you and the Mrs, I would need some more background info

I've thought about it the past couple of years, but this year I think I'm going to give it a pass.

I have trouble putting together a cohesive post on the forums. So of course I'll give it a shot.

I don't think 10,000 five word retorts count as a novel.

50,000 words in 30 days. a few posters can just take their stuff offline for awhile and make that easily.
