throw another bear in the canoe

I can't quite tell from the community info (though I can make an educated guess) whether this is a sort of rolling start point where people begin when they feel like it, or something people are supposed to start together at a given point. Rolling, such that one can jump in at a random date to start cranking out the wordcount?

...and I see this is immediately answered in the FAQ, which is not in the user info, but linked from it.

Insufficient research cat is full of shame.

cool!

I need stuff like this. I had to set myself a goal and ask friends to bug me like this to get my last book done so this will be so awesome if I can play too. (my friends were too nice to me) I hope they let little nobodies like me join.
I wanna be somebody of course, just haven't published yet, y'know. :D

Since I'm the community moderator, I can be pretty sure they will let you in. *g*

Thank you! (runs off to post there)

I find this so much less scary than NaNoWriMo, probably 'cause I've done 750 words for more than just a day or two. Whereas 1800 words is a cause for great celebration and most days leaves me pretty hung over intellectually.

It is a tiny little seed of the discipline required to write professionally.

Also, the FAQ sounds exactly like a friend of mine who'd probably be ectatic if I took up the challenge. Unfortunately, I don't have plot and need to finish a whole bunch of academic papers first. So I'll stick to short stuff.

Welcome back!

I will probably be back in novel_in_90 over the summer. At the moment I'm working on the short stories and poetry that are required for the creative writing course I'm taking, but from June onwards, I hope to get one or other of the novels moving again.
