An Example Post from Quezon
The following is a post stolen from
Fat Penguins:
That's write everyone... get it? WRITE? Instead of right... Okay, it's not funny, but anyway, I'm attempting to write a 50 thousand word novel, in one month because apparently that's cool now. So, all these people try and write ridiculously large books in a short period of time for who knows what reason, it's supposed to be a great achievement, but as far as I'm concerned, it's time taken away from more important things like sleeping, living, and repairing the couch. (Seriously, that's what I end up doing on the weekends.)
So continuing on, here's some website that a bunch of weirdo's sign up to in an insane attempt to help them with this unrealistic quest. www.nanowrimo.com
It does amaze me though, that some people actually have managed to hit the half-way point before the month is half over, and when I say that, I mean nothing past half the month matters if you haven't already finished half. In fact, it doesn't matter if you actually finish, because you won't. The whole second half of the month is pointless, no one actually has that long to spend writing, not to mention, most people run out of pencils by the seventh page and everyone who uses computers will either have died from lack of sun, or will have stopped paying the electric bill and will have no power. Not to mention these poor souls won't even notice when their screen turns black and will continue typing with no result.
Now you may be wondering why I would try and do something this ridiculous, but I have to. I'm physically being forced by my ego, in the form of a larger version of my head. After all, how could I spend all the month sewing the couch while Patrick rubs his novel in my face?
So, November will be very interesting for me, but not for you... your boring I'm sure...
