http://www.nanowrimo.org/ is "national novel writing month", an annual novel-writing contest type of thing where the "winners" are the ones that successfully write a 50, 000 word novel in the month of November. This will be my first year doing it, is anyone else going to give it a try? Any TL.netters hit the 50, 000 word mark before?

Do you get anything for winning?

Annual means once a year not all year long. There is no way I could write 50k words in a month without first thinking very very hard about what I was writing haha. This sounds like fun if I can think of a good thing to write about I will give it a try.

Yup. Failed before. Trying again.

I had two friends that did it and one friend that tried it and stopped writing. I personally can't even sit down to write down essays, so I would probably never attempt.

Both of the two friends that wrote it began with no plot in mind. I didn't actually read their books but I think it probably showed in the end product.

I have had two epic plots in my head for quite some time, I guess this gives me an excuse to write one of them down.

You completely missed his point. What is stopping people from starting it early is what he is getting at.

50k words, at 500 words a page. That's a 200 page novel. Pretty serious imo. I think you would need to have a plot already in mind to even consider it.

did it two years in a row, then skipped out last year. Finished the mark the first time, was like 10k shy the second. In short, its brutal and rapes your insides. If you like to write its deff worth the experience and suffering, otherwise however it sucks goat balls.
