I'm thinking about doing this for the first time. I've never heard of it before and I'm not sure I can come up with a plot idea in time but I'd like to have a try!

I've tried it once too. I found it a great way to get into good writing habits. I set aside a certain time each day to get my word count done...and that habit lasted for at least a couple of weeks after November ended.

[removed by admin] has a lot about it, advice, other people and lots of articles to help...I did a quick search and found at least three groups there...here is one...[link removed]
I've never tried it...I could write 50,000 words in a month, but not a novel...
There is a quote from Stephen King somewhere on there where he says basically, "if you don't write 2,000 words a day, you're not really a writer"...
Oh well...

Here is another link related on Writing.com...that site, btw, has tons of writing advice, newletters, etc...
You can also post ten stories with your free membership, and if you're lucky, in a couple of months one of their WDC Power group members might actually come along and review it...

I removed your link to a competitor's site, Alan. We're trying to encourage that kind of participation here rather than send people elsewhere.

I could swear I saw a link to WritersResources.com somewhere that you posted, but I must be mistaken...
Just trying to be helpful...

Writersresources.com is mostly a collection of articles rather than an online community where people post their work.
No harm done!

I've never done this, but I love the idea of it as a challenge.
I'm just afraid of the quality of my writing when I'm working to a deadline. It seems to make me want to procrastinate...
"Maybe next year!"... Yeah, that's my favourite excuse.

Sounds like a good idea. I began one two years ago and it's going to be posted on here, just removing some of the scenes that aren't suitable for the target audience.
