I just signed up for this. They advise telling everybody you can think of that you're planning to write a novel in November, as if nothing else, it's the fear of personal humiliation that will spur you on to finish that bastard.
Yer, I'm actually an old hand at personal humiliation so that doesn't really sound like much of a threat. Nevertheless, here it is, my public announcement. *insert trumpets here*
Anybody else fancy giving it a crack? You might want to take up smoking first.

Its a bit of a tall order isn't it, a novel in a month? or have I misunderstood the timescale and you start in November? Anyway good luck - when will you have time to take the new dog for a walk?
It's a terrifying and evil concept. Probably why it appeals to me. 50,000 words is what they're asking, it's about 1,500 a day. The new dog is still at the imaginary stage so perhaps I will have somebody walking it in the book - should use up a few paragraphs.

At the risk of sounding like your mother, and what will you do if the gig with the fledgling magazine comes through, young lady?
That won't be out until December. Bags of time. Honest!

Well mind it is - and make sure your back is covered when you go out, theres a nip in the air and you don't want cold in the kidneys now do you?... (oh God! its not your mother, its my mother!)

Pro I can barely keep up with the ideas for novels in my head, as for actually writing anything down..... nope I am useless at sticking things out - good luck to you though x
Come on, come on, this project is designed for the likes of you and me, I can't commit to anything either. x

Pro I just keep starting things, I have 2 novels on the go at the moment, nope 3, definitely 3 all in various stages of development and none anywhere near finished! I will agree to try x

I'll sign up, thought I'd finished my book but there's still a lot I want to write about, so this is a good opportunity to do it. Thanks for sharing! Get writing
