Has anyone heard of/done it before?

Starting Nov 1, you have one month to write a 50,000 word novel. I almost joined last year, but I definitely signed up this time. :) So if you see me @ LEIA during the month of November, I'm obviously procrastinating.

Wow, I could never write something that's 50,000 words long :/ Even a four paged essay seems cumbersome at the moment -_-"

I did that grades 10-12, but I definitely don't have enough time for it this year. I kind of wish I did, it's so cool to be able to say that you wrote a 50,000 word 'novel' in a month :P Good luck to you, it really is a lot of fun :)

Figured I'd update everyone on my progress :D

Last night I hit the halfway mark (25K words), so yay! I think a lot of it is garbage but at least I'm writing something :lol:
