Katzaniel Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 National Novel Writing Month is coming up! Where you try to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. I wrote 30,000 words on a novel one year, and then the next I added 20,000 (even though you're supposed to use a brand new book). I would like to add another 20,000 and bring it to about the size of a typical first manuscript, but this is going to be made harder by my decision earlier this year to re-start it with some changes in perspective, so I'll need to update chapters here and there on my way to starting the new part. Maybe I can do that before November begins... yeah, right... ((For anyone who remembers, this is still me working on my Distant Soil idea. Heh. Probably I should post the other 20 chapters I have in my first version, and then I guess create yet another topic for my re-write if I seem to be making any progress...)) Anyhow, I was mostly wondering if anyone else planning on participating in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peredhil Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 My Beloved has done this and has the T-shirt. I highly recommend this for anyone. Even if you don't make 50K words, there is nothing like forced writing to purge the gunk out of your pipe-line to your Muse and find the silver and gold nuggets.
