Michelle has thrown down the gauntlet and I have accepted her challenge. November is National Writing Month and a group has created a contest called Na No WriMo. The concept is simple, from midnight November 1st until midnight November 30th, contestants have to create a 50,000 word story. At this time, I don't feel comfortable submitting my material to this site. It's bad enough to let my trusted reviewers know the insanity that plays in my head, much less total strangers. Plus, the point of the contest is to get the material out there, unedited and potentially full of issues. As a perfectionist, I'm incapable of submitting that type of material. But I am up to the challenge of writing 50,000 words in 30 days.
I am now sharing the challenge with you. Is anyone else interested in trying their hand at creating a story in a month? You wouldn't have to submit anything to anyone, just share the experience with me.

I'll give it a go
Becky
I can't even blog on a regular basis. But I'll share your experience by listening to you and reading what you write!
Nobody will read what you post on the site. That is not allowed because of intellectual copyright issues. A computer will count the number of words you post to see if you were successful in the challenge. As a matter of fact they encourage you to scramble your work before you submit it for just that purpose. Then you can get a nifty web badge to put on your blog showing you're an accomplished author. And you can show off to all your friends and such. . . And I will be so proud of you. . . And so will Becky . . . And Delia . . . And Erin.. . And, well you get the point!! Loves ya bunches! Mich
Yes, I will do it with you, too. I have an idea swirling around in my head.
