I wonder how many people have blogged about this using that title… I imagine I’m not the first.

Anyway, I came across an interesting site today while looking through the daily distraction that is kottke.org - if I had more commitment (and time) I reckon I’d enjoy National Novel Writing Month.

National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
