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.
Cherchezlafemme 10-30-2005, 09:58 PM Wow, I could never write something that's 50,000 words long :/ Even a four paged essay seems cumbersome at the moment -_-"

Same here. I just don't really have the talent.
Douglas 10-30-2005, 10:06 PM wow thats interesting, i couldnt do it though... i might if i really tried but i have no time 0.o
Chris 10-30-2005, 10:07 PM Good luck Angela! :D
dolce shanti 10-31-2005, 12:17 AM Good luck Angela! :D

Marta 10-31-2005, 01:26 AM Never heard of that before. Good luck!! It sounds like a lot of work :)
adrielle 10-31-2005, 01:35 AM Will you be posting it on quasigeek? I'd love to read it :D
Wow, I could never write something that's 50,000 words long :/ Even a four paged essay seems cumbersome at the moment -_-That quite explains my situation, it's supposed to be 10 pages long but with 2000 words, which I don't see how it can be accomplished without tonnnes of spacing
lefty 10-31-2005, 02:19 AM Will you be posting it on quasigeek? I'd love to read it :D
I guess :P haha yeah, if I'm writing that much I might as well update my site as well :lol:
adrielle 10-31-2005, 02:47 AM :lol: Very handy I see ;)
have you a topic chosen already? :D
Magln Meow 10-31-2005, 06:48 AM Wow, that's a lot to write... I love writing, but that is a little above my ken. :P Well good luck, and I do hope you'll put your novel on your site. :)
salomeyasobko 10-31-2005, 09:53 AM ooh thats so exciting!!! good luck!! :)
lefty 10-31-2005, 11:57 AM have you a topic chosen already? :D
oh yes ;) Bugs me that I can't start it until tomorrow, haha
adrielle 10-31-2005, 02:20 PM Oooh well I can't wait for it to be unveiled, tomorrow :D
ah the suspense is, suspending me :lol:
will there be a commenting system like all your other writings? Ugh which reminds me, I've procrastinated-on reading your stuff >_<
kittycat 11-02-2005, 03:38 PM 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 :)
lefty 11-13-2005, 10:13 PM 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:
jazzberry 11-14-2005, 03:12 AM I've been reading your novel on your site, I like it, funny stories about customers and such, hehe :)
lefty 11-14-2005, 12:50 PM Thanks! Now I just have to figure out a way to tie in a plot and/or some kind of ending :lol:
Ayosu_Ling 11-14-2005, 09:56 PM defniitely do it! that's an awesome opportunity, i wish i was motivated enough to do something like that.
