So, last night, Koldoon and I were talking about participating in NaNoWriMo, which is National Novel Writing Month. Koldoon's done it three times; this will be my first try. The idea is to write a 50,000 word novel (which is short by modern standards, but is about the length of the Great Gatsby or Brave New World) in the month of November. That breaks out to about 1,667 pages per day, every day, for 30 days.
The goal is not to get something published nor is it to write the next great work of literature. It's to do something you've always meant to do but never gotten around to doing. Like running a marathon, NaNoWriMo is more about participating than "winning" (however you define that term) the race.
I know that I'm not the only person on these boards who has dreamed of writing a novel, so I wanted to post and extend an invitation to the other closet would-be-writers to join Koldoon and I in NaNoWriMo.
Think it over - you've got only a few hours until November 1.
I know this is Epic level thread necromancy, but I'm really curious how it went.
I completed my NaNoWriMo novel in 2007. It was called God's Least Favorite. I've also participated and finished in 2005 and 2009.
I'm in.

I sure hope you meant 1,667 WORDS per day and not pages.

I only write one word per page...
Yeah...that's the ticket...
Anyhow, I've yet to successfully complete NaNoWriMo. Maybe this year...
