h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Is anyone taking on the Nanowrimo challenge then?

Not fast enough I'd fail miserably because I'd get writers block half way then get bored of my storyline

For anyone confused

Well...if you predict you're going to get Writer's Block then you're bound to get it!

I reckon that if you're going to get bored half-way through then that's a clear sign you should write two!

Well they are expecting nonsense so I suppose I could just change tack halfway through I and go off on a whole new and more interesting tangent

>>They walked away novelists.

Do they really think that any old 50,000 is a novel? I'm sure I could write 50,000 words in a month. I probably already do, here on the conversations. But it's not a novel.

I think they say somewhere that they realise that 50,000 words is a bit more of a novella, but that that doesn't sound as good!

I started writing a novel quite a while ago... but then I got writers block and now I can't find my muse again...

Have you checked behind the sofa? I think mine fell there one drunken night and hasn't been retrieved yet. Its still waiting for the coffee to recover

Go for it! Come on, what subject matter is the world a bit short of novels on?

Definitely *not* on the list...novels with 'Club' in the title.

I'm nanoing this year for the first time - "If you don't knock", A soft SF tale of the greater good.

The link doesn't work, so I don't have a clue what this is about: writing a novel per month in 50,000 words?
That's a lot of words

It is! It works out at 2,000 a day. The idea is that it's so many that you stop worrying about whether it's any good or not. (Which is often the root of Writer's Block!) http://www.nanowrimo.org

I might try it nest year. It does run every year, yes?

It does, every November. The idea is to launch yourself into it and you're not allowed to do any cutting and pasting from previous stuff.

Thanks for the link.
It certainly isn't anything I'll ever participate in - 2000 words a day

The minimum to get it done is 1667 per day.

Have you kept to that so far, Brown Eyed Girl?

I hit 1853 yesterday and haven't done any yet today.
