It's that time of year again, when young writers' thoughts turn to dreams of romance. And science fiction, fantasy, rambling nonsense, drama, comedy, and what-have-you.

It's almost November and that means it's almost time for National Novel Writing Month! Over the course of 30 days, can you pound out 50,000 words in a narrative form?

Neatness, coherency, and internal logic are discouraged if they interfere with the flow of your writing. You also don't have to share anything you've written beyond submitting the final mess at the end of the month.


Oh, yes, and I hear some weirdo is going to try again this year.

I'm in! Happy writing to all!
