Start your brand new story writing as fast as you can with few edits. Every day write at least 1000 words, about 5-7k a week, and within three months you will have finished the rough draft of a novel! Each week you will post your word count by 11:59 p.m. on Saturdays. I will post mine first (before 11 p.m.), and you can place your word count as a comment to my posting.
Each winner who writes at the minimum 75,000 words receives space for an elevator pitch to their story at the end of the marathon on September 30, 2010. This elevator pitch will be included in my next post on October 1, 2010, after the results are in. Because there is no monetary gain, this writer trusts your word count as the true amount.
Please join me in this marathon to achieve a lifetime goal, and who knows? Maybe in the near future we will see our stories in print!
This Writing Marathon sounds like just the kick in the pants I need to get started on my novel. Where/How do I sign up?
