Bet you can't do it. No, really. Bet you can't finish 50,000 words... IN A MONTH! eek
Alright, so I've seen all the threads out there. About trying to get as many people to participate in this fun event as possible. So, I decided to make a contest for our own guild! I think it'd benefit a lot of you out there that tend to begin writing about a novel, but forget half-way through.
For those that don't know what NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writer's Month) is, then go here: www.nanowrimo.org
Basically, it's a challenge to see if you can write an entire 50,000 word novel in a month. It begins Nov. 1 and ends Nov.30. You get to enter in whatever genre you want; but getting all the way to 50,000 is the hard part!
Let's get to the fun stuff!!
Rules and Entry:
- Must have an account set up on the NaNoWriMo homepage. It's simple to do, and the little profile thing you get is pretty cool. It'll help me keep track of all you contestants.
- Cannot begin writing till Nov. 1st. Just use honesty here. I think I can trust all of you to follow this. But yes, you can start brainstorming ideas and plots right now. You just can't start writing.
To sign up, simply reply in this thread with the following information:

The fun part! Ok, so you're all wondering what you'll get, eh? Well, if you complete THE ENTIRE THING (meaning, you get exactly 50,000 words or more) then you'll be awarded with...
eek A November/December Donation Letter. eek
You get to choose. No joke. I'll give one to every single person who completes the contest. And considering I'm not requiring you to give a sign-up fee, that's pretty good.
