All month I've been doing something called NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) - an American idea to get people writing.

Like many people I've often thought I had a book in me, but never had the time or the inclination to make a start until this came along. The challenge is to write 50,000 words in the month of November, and I finished earlier this evening - less than an hour before I turned 44!

I honestly don't think it's good enough to be published, even after I go back and tidy it up, tie up the loose ends and so on, but I had fun and want to tell everyone that I'm actually quite chuffed with myself, both for doing the 50k (which isn't actually a very big book - I reckon a Rebus is about 150k) - but the fact that I set a goal and hit it.

 

Impressive, well done. I wouldnt know where to start though id like to think i could do it, writing 15,000 words for uni was bad enough

Whats it about?

 

Various things, funny and otherwise, that have happened to me and to friends, but as if one individual had had all the experiences.

There's a twist, but I'm saving that till it's tidied up a bit.

 

Nice one Iain not something you hear every day

 

Nice one mate. I started a book ten years ago, but never even finished it.

Theres a book waiting to come out from anyone on this board if only they had the time/inclanation.
