National Novel Writing Month
It's starting in 16 days, so sign up and start brainstorming, fools.
For those of you who don't know, the goal is to write a 50,000+ word fiction novel during the month of November. Quality is not an issue - they solely focus on quantity of words.
Yeah! Let's get pumped!

Dear christ. It's that time again? It feels like the last time I heard about this...was yesterday.
ANYWAY!
Piper has threatened bodily harm if I don't work on my book for this and thrust all of my person into doing it and I he keeps his promises. So I shall be writing as much as I can of my book.

I've already gotten farther than I ever have before in terms of brainstorming. Here's to hoping I'll hit the quarter mark at least

I'll be participating, although I'm still up in the air as to which novel idea I'm going to use.

Quantity over Quality is hilarious.

If you're saying that to be derogatory, realize that the purpose of NaNoWriMo is not to create a good book. It's purpose is a communal effort to allow aspiring writers and hobbyists to push through all the second guessing and malaise of trying to create quality, and instead getting experience finishing something, or to simply challenge ones self the way you would by running a marathon and seeing how you do. Like a marathon the goal is more finishing than coming in first.
Plus having some light hearted fun with others.

Well, you don't HAVE to, but in order to officially win, yes.
Then you can access forums and resources that can help you procrastinate! You can also be friends with people (natch).

So who has started brainstorming? I am not planning on participating but I think it's a very cool idea to try and pound out a novel in a month. If you averaged about 6 pages a day you'd be done by the end of the month =O

I'm doing an alternate history story that involves Soviets rampaging throughout Europe.
