Anyone else insane? The notion is to write (at least) 50,000 words of a novel in the month of November. I've been meaning to do this for years and then trying to find a new job, starting a new job, writing the nonfiction book, dumping my partner, or otherwise being really busy and distracted in November. This year, I've decided I'll at least try.

I did it once about four years back. It was fun (sort of like how bicycle commuting in January is fun.) Probably too busy to do it this year, but I'm happy to cheer you on!

Thank you kindly. I will consider it practice for January commuting.

A thesis is a novel, right?

I think today is the over-inflated ambition balloon.

Heh, I guess I get the Participation Trophy! I am at 12,000 words, which is a little behind, but nothing horrible. I will make it up on the weekend and reward myself with soup buns and spicy shrimp.

Hey this looks like fun and I'm sadistic.
Maybe I can hone some of my sleepless nights into something productive.
Here I go!
