I'm not necessarily endorsing it, just showing you what true insanity is.
Of course, we all own a little bit of that, don't we?

OH way wierd. I do about 1000 words a day, about 4 hrs worth of thought, typing, and rewriting--hmm wonder how I would do with mega pepsi, and working round the clock for three days----no thanks. Getting to old for that stuff.

Gack! I don't think so....
And the site says they've been doing it for 24 years. That adds up to a lot of cranky and sleep-deprived people.

That sounds interesting. Doesn't mention a length, though, does it? And it's in Canada. Quite expensive for postage. Maybe I'll just do it as a personal challenge. JK

It said average submission is 100 double spaced pages. So a novella really. Ekkkk, I am actually thinking of doing this!

How many words that is one hundred double spaced pages? It doesn't sound like very many. JK
Posted by srhowen (Member # 462) on :
about 25,000----

That's not that bad. It's certainly possible. Almost makes me wish I lived in America. JK

Only about 25,000? THat's not that bad-- certainly possible. IF the juices were really flowing... If I'm in the zone, you know that really rare place where the Muse is singing so loud you can't possibly miss it, I can crank out about 5,000 words in 2 hours. IF I'm in the zone. Big if.
But, certainly doable.
I'm thinking about trying it-- not for them, but just as a personal thing. Let's see what I can produce if I lock myself in my den, kick out the cats, and sit up all night with Jolt cola.
