I know there are a lot of would-be novelists lurking about this board. There's an organization out there that wants you to quit saying "one day" and just write the damned thing. In one month. yeah. You must start on November 1 and finish November 30.
This sounds absoultely insane. I think I should do it. I'm sure I do at least half that on a typical Scrolling month.
Any interest in getting a Scroller support group for this?

well, i just wrote 1,444 words. and i think the only way i'm going to write anymore is just to make a rule that i'm not allowed to go back a rewrite . sure, it'll be crap, but it'll be done
although my stars did say that my work would be under close scrutiny this week and that i should therefore do my best...well, next week...HMmmm...

Their site is not working right. I can't open any links to articles, they just have blank screens! How annoying...i wonder if that happens often?

i think it's safe to say, with 2 hours of november left and two pages of the task done (and not to my liking), that i've failed spectacularly .
so, how'd everyone else do ?
