Writers Untie!

Important announcement

I am writing this to inform the entire internet community that Anna Clare, Eddie James, and I, Linny Jane, will all be taking on the pleasurable and inevitably stressful task of writing 50,000 word novels in the month of September. Between the three of us, there are jobs, full time school schedules, and other important projects that some of our obligations must go to. But for the rest of the time, we will all be working on our individual novels.

Start date: September 1
End date: September 30

Yes, I know, we picked a month that has one day less than a bunch of other months we could have chosen. But seeing as how week leads to week, and month leads to month, well, we knew that things would only get more difficult as the semester progressed. On any other occasion, we would hold out and do our novels-in-a-month during November, which is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo).

Anna Clare happened upon this discovery whilst reading Chris Baty's "No Plot, No Problem", an exellent read and important in this undertaking. It can be found here

This is really just a post to get anyone else on board who wants to join us.
Also this is a way for us to stay accountable. So ask us how the novel is; belittle us when we can't tell you because we haven't worked on it all week; and, more importantly, threaten all kinds of harassment and rejection should we fail to complete our novels.

We will be using this web site to post pieces of our work if we feel so led, and to post updates on how we are doing, for our own record and for your amusement, as posts will undoubtably become less and less coherent as the month progresses.

So, that's it. Three writers, one month, 50,000 words per writer. Join us, and togeher we shall take over the world!
Or just write really crappy novels. Either way, it should be fun.
