So, You Have Decided to Participate in National Novel Writing Month

What the hell is wrong with you?

Why would you want to write a novel in one month?

Do you have a previous engagement in the month of December, so you must finish the whole damned book in November?

Did you lose a bet? You are now forced to do whatever dumb writing challenge the winner decides?

Have you taken the crazed notion that you will be a great writer, but you just can’t be bothered to do such a dumb task for that long?

Because it would be great to write an entire novel in a month. But it is also a fine skill to jam the rules and cheat. We are writers, we like both choices.

Jerusalem can wait until next year. This year, you are going to be a person who has written a novel. (Well, you will write 50,000 words. That doesn’t mean a novel. That means that you wrote words. We will talk about that later on. Oh, we talk about that.)

Write a Book in a Month. Is That Even Possible?

Sure it is possible. Folks have been writing large books with short deadlines since the beginning of stories.

Beowulf was written as an early audio book in something like three weeks. It was a fast turnaround. With that one, you can really see how the
