I'm thinking about it
50,000 words in 30 days :-/

i might try it if i didnt have several graded writing assignments due in november - let me see... 50,000 words in 30 days is 1,666 words a day which is about 6 pages double spaced... actually not all that bad when quality is irrelavent i might try to do this some time over the summer

Doh..... I would, but my Maths prelims are starting in November.

I've passed to 20,000 word mark this evening. That's why I've not done any parodies this week :)

is it 50,000 or 150,000? if its the former you should have no problem

That's about 200 pages of A4.

Holy crud, write a novel in a month???

I'd kill myself if I couldn't spend endless days fixing each chapter.

To be honest (I'm a writer, btw.  Though I doubt it's apparent through my horrible grammer and writing on my posts, lol.  Of course, like most other writers, I don't really get PAID to do it, so I have another job.  I'm a Veterinary Assistant, 55 hours a week.  But, I enjoy it.)  I spend about 3 weeks per chapter.  I have the best editors in the world and I'm surprised they haven't jumped off a bridge due to my nit pickiness, lol.

The novel I'm currently working on is going quite well.  Everything else I write is availible online though.  It's wonderful because it improves your writing skills while aquiring useful feedback from others.

But, 50,000 words in a month? *laughs* I could do it if you just let me rant endlessly about whatever comes to mind ;)

I wish any of you attempting it the best of luck.  I think I'll just stick to my own endless editing ways.

I wonder if Tolkien did this once... I thought Lord of the Rings was like an extremely long Asperger monologue. But printed.

I've finished mine  :)
