Anyone doing it this year?

I did it two years ago. I realized it was a big mistake and not to do it again

Good luck to all the victims that decide to go for it.

I'm trying it this year. Madness, yes?

I don't have the time to do this sort of thing this year.

.... I could use it as an excuse to write up one of the stories of my comic... and I know which one would make 5000 words... but I dpnb't have time.

I've written a few long stories that are about 75,000 words, but they were all over the space of about a year.

Nuts dude. I can barely think of 8 words in a month.

The longest story I've written was about 4,900 words. Ironically, it was for a lax assignment with no minimum length.

Pfft, not for me! I'll be lucky to write that much in three months at full speed...

Posted: **Sun Oct 15, 2006 1:02 am**

I think I'll try it.

...Longest story I've written was about 3k words. Most are around 800-1000. I'm a short fiction writer, not a novellist, and I haven't written for ages.

...And wouldn't 50k words class as a Novella rather than a Novel?

Sounds fun, but there's no way I'd have the time.

Posted: **Sun Oct 15, 2006 6:27 am**

Heh, I'd rather chop off my thumbs.

Fifty thousand? Eep.
