Fellow Writers!

The 3-Day Novel Contest is coming soon! You don't know what that is you say? Well! Allow me to enlighten you!

It's exactly what the name suggests. Starting on September 5th, at 12:01am, you begin writing your novel. On September 7th at 11:59pm, you stop writing.

I've always wanted to do it, but alas it's always interfered with school. This year for September and October I have my honours project to do. On September 5th I know I have to go in to my professors and meet and talk about the project, etc, but that's only for 4 hours maximum, plus add one hour traveling time.

Basically they suggest that you write 100 pages double spaced. That's approximately 25,000 words. Hmm. That's not much. Divided into three days, that's roughly 8,333 words per day. I could do it. Maybe. Not to mention I'd have to get the time off from work.

The first prize is publication and distribution of the novel, second is $500, and third is $100. Everyone gets certificates and stickers saying that they survived the contest.

Anyone from anywhere is eligible to enter, so long as the entries are in English. And as long as they can pay the $50 registration fee.

I really, really want to do it. I won't be able to do National Novel Writing Month, because of school. (Well, I *could*...but it would be really hard to finish).

So...we'll see.
