That's a pretty full explanation right there, but basically the idea is to write a 50,000 word novel in November.  I saw the guy who started it, Chris Baty, speak at GMU a few days ago and get him to sign a copy of his book I picked up.  Seemed like a pretty cool guy and it's a pretty neat idea, so when the new site for 2007 opens up in a few days on Oct. 1, I'm gonna sign up and write myself a novel in november.  Other unwashed should get into it!

Are we doing this for 2009? I'm going to write my novel. I heard about buddies (which I assume help keep you on track). I suppose we can use other UVers as buddies?

Did anyone here ever finish their novel?

I can't wait to read Brugdor's novel: "The Dwarf that was (and still is) more awesome than any elf."
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

I can't wait to read Brugdor's novel: "The Dwarf that was (and still is) more awesome than any elf."

I could shorten that title to just "The Dwarf" and the rest would automatically be implied.

2 years past I petered out around the same number of words. :(

November is sneaking up fast this time!  I've had a few ideas kicking around in my head, maybe this is my year! :D

Unless school hits me upside'a'da head with a large metallic bat this time around, I'll be joining, finishing and winning.
