I was introduced to this in an LJ friend's blog. You know who you are.
It's an interesting challenge, to write a 50,000 word novel [175 page] in one month, starting on November 1st till November 30th. That's about 1700 words a day. I signed up, knowing I probably won't make it, but it's trying that counts, right?
Read all about it in the website. It's a very interesting idea. ^_^
