To write a novel in a month is a serious commitment. Lys is right: that would take a TON of RL time. I just don't know if everyone has that kind of time. I don't think I do. So... you know, whatever is fine with me. I just doubt if I would be able to compete in the 'advanced' section. I don't have time to do it. Another thought for a writing challenge... what if everyone who was interested posted here. (or somewhere else) And their topic was chosen by a random memeber and given to them. I think that would be quite a challenge! 20-30 K words of a topic TOTALLY NOT YOUR CHOICE!!!!!!!!!! One month. Opinions?
