“Liberated from the constraints of constructing a pretty and proper novel, we are free to run, naked and whooping, through the valleys of our imaginations.”
-Chris Baty, founder of National Novel Writing Month
This November I will be participating in NaNoWriMo‘s program this year. And Brendan is doing it with me.
The rules are to write 50,000 words between the first of November through the thirtieth. That’s about 3.5 pages a day, 21 pages a week (six days of labor).

Sweet, lean on Stevenson. Also N.D.. He could probably write a couple of trilogies during that time.

Excellente, we could form an army, we could drown the world with our insipid ill-thought prose.

I’ve got twenty days to think up a concept, which has always been the hardest part of writing for me.
Wish me luck. Or give me a concept.

You should give me your screen name so we can be buds for real by clicking each other’s name on an out-of-the-way website.
Also, suggested concept: take two commandments of the ten and combine them.

Also, I’m not sure I know what that concept means.
