I figure at least some of you will be interested in this - NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, 2007. The idea is to write a novel (defined as 50,000 words) in 30 days - i.e. November. You don't have to write something spectacular, flamboyantly rich, or even particularly good; it's intended rather to spark creativity and such. Plus, it's really fun.
I'm in. I've done it for two years now. The first year I actually succeeded in writing something (although it should probably never see the light of day); the second year was a dismal failure. Best two out of three?
(Uh. I think I should probably have provided a link: http://www.nanowrimo.org . )

a novel in a month!?
I can't fathom anything more insane.
That said... Good luck!!!
