On November 1, 2009 my creative juices will be flowing so hard that my head will look like a fresh squeezed lime. They will continue for thirty consecutive days until on the 30th of the same month, I will have the first draft of a fifty thousand word novel in my hand.
That is the plan. And it will happen. Since I work four days on and four off, it will require close to 3,000 words per day on my “days off.” I can do it. Anyone can, really. The real question is whether it’ll be any good. And so, my friends, I’m requiring two things from you. First, suggestions for novel genre, a title for the book, and some good plot ideas.
I will, over the next few days, take your comments into account before I start writing. After that, all bets are off. But for your trouble, you just might see your ideas fleshed out.
Second, I’m looking for encouragement from the first to the thirtieth of November. Daily encouragement and perhaps writer’s block breakers. Also, feel free to send me cookies and pies so I don’t starve.
Those who are most helpful may be asked to give the draft a read through.
Don’t let me down, friends.
