Starting another 1 week novel on Monday. If anyone cares to join me I will have a hangout on google+ open whenever I am writing. On the hour I will chat for 10-20 minutes as a break then get back to writing.
“Rules” for 1 week novel are simple. Write as much as you can during the 1 week, when you are done, post your word count. Usual goal is 50k words in the week. Remember the goal is just to get it done to give yourself something to edit, it does not have to be perfect. Just put it down and go. I usually call my 1 week novels “vomit drafts” for a reason.
This week/month my novel is a fantasy. Really excited to get going on Monday.

I read books in almost every genre (really I only avoid poetry, all that rhyming, *shudder*). But now, looking at my completely empty nightstands [...]
I am starting round two of novel in a week I will start on the 11th. Last round half my days were so busy I only got up to 40k words, which I think is still impressive enough. I have another novel idea I planed to work on for July, now instead of taking all [...]
I am joining this Challenge for the first time, though I believe they are up to round 3. The idea is to create goals for 8 days, and try to complete them in that time. So my personal goals (yeah they will be insane to some people, but it is how I roll) Short Stories: [...]
