In a bout of mass insanity, thirty-five thirty-seven forty forty-two members of Forward Motion signed up for this year's novel-in-a-month madness. The plan is for each of us to write a completed novel of at least 50,000 words by November 30th. That would be 2,310,000 (minimum) if we all make it through.
(Late edition of # 43! 11/1/02)
And this, people, is what we do for fun...
National Novel Writing Month is in it's fourth year. According to their web site, six people wrote full novels the first year, twenty-nine the second, and over seven hundred completed the third year. They hope that over 1000 people will reach the finish line this time. We at Forward Motion will certainly do our best to help them out.
Soren even wrote us a wonderful little poem...
The Night before NaNoWith apologies to, well, everyone. - Soren 'Twas the night before NaNo, when all through the site The laptops were warming, the coffee laid in, When there in the chat room suddenly scrolled such a clatter, On the midnight blue background, a simple white text With rapid-fire questions, and quick repartee "Now, LAURA now, FETU! now, LYRICALMOON! As blank pages before a word war will stare, And then, in an instant, his Muse hit the roof From nothing he'd started, just a goal for November, He felt for the first that this wasn't insane, The chat turned to others, he pitched in and helped. Then suddenly midnight! Upon them it pounced. He sat at his keyboard, with a merry subconscious whistle, © 2002, Soren |
Good luck to everyone! Keep watch on the Forward Motion Discussion Board to see how we are doing!
