I did this last year and thought about posting it to the list this year. But I forgot. I didn't
actualy finish my "novel" but i got about 30000 words done in the time aloted to me. Remeber: 1333
words a day sounds easy but you're better off aiming for 5000. Also other writters may want to plan
their noevls rather than taking on the banzai spirit and making it up as they go along (as i did
last year and will do again this year).
