I might be. I have to start a novel for Creative Writing class, so who knows if it'll double over?

I have even less time this year than I did last year. ;_;

I'm in. Maybe I can beat my word-count from last year.

Word-count = 0

Not my finest hour...

Nope. Can't. Busy time of year for southern hemisphere college lecturers. Our school years actually end at the end of the year. Completely illogical, I know.

I'll likely never get anywhere near the goal, but I might try it anyway.

Thanks for reminding me!

I missed the last couple years because of school, but I have a light load this semester finally. My stories may not be completely rational but I can type a half-decent one at 30-60 wpm.

That's crazy talk!

But yeah, I reeeally can't. Grad school and work, plus 12-16 hours of comic every week, plus me trying to get some kind of portfolio together in the vain hopes of doing comics for a living...yeah.

Come to think of it, I don't know if I'll technically be cheating or not. I have to start the novel before November because in mid-October the professor needs to see that we're doing work on the project. I know it's not an official competition or something, but still I have no choice but to have a headstart.

Maybe I'll count it as that many words onto what I've already done by November? I'm still trying to finish revising the book I wrote over the summer.

I'm going to jump the gun and say that I'm in.

Peer pressure shall be my motivation to finally finish a decently-sized story!

Joel Fagin · Post by **Joel Fagin** » Tue Sep 26, 2006 6:24 pm

There's no real contest, Cushion. The basic aim is to simply get the looming, daunting task of writing a novel's worth of words under your belt so you know you can do it.

Yeah, I think I'm in. I feel terrible about being such a lazy writer.

In this case, whether I can or can't (or believe either way) reach the overall goal seems to be one of the least important parts of the process as long as I continue to write write write.
