I was reading the threads about this. A professor last year mentioned it, and it sounded interesting. I had this feeling that I missed it, because so many people were talking (and seemingly starting) their novels.
The fact is, I have been meaning to write a novel for a while now, and this seems like a great way to kind of kick myself in the seat of my pants and get going on it. I signed up, and plan on getting started tomorrow. I figure I’ll just do a bit each day, probably the hour before I go to bed or something. Back in high school, I wrote a (bad) novel 45,000 words long in a month, and that was just for the hell of it, there was no ‘contest’ behind it, so I’m looking forward to this. Hell, maybe something mundane to put on a resume
