Are you a lackadaisical literary onlooker?
A lexiphane lacking the long term loyalty
to launch any one literary endeavor?
What a drag.
You should write 50,000 word novel in 30 days.
National Novel Writing Month has come to the Beloit Campus.
Several of us already busy and irrationally busybodied students are going to, for the entire month of November,
somehow manage to vomit up 1,666 words a day. Join us. We’ll hold your hair back.
We have no committee approval.
We have no budget (no money)
We have no reward for reaching 50,000 words by November 30th at 11:59pm
But we’re going to do it anyway. Guerilla Literature. No one’s going to care. But that’s sweet.
Because on Dec. 1st everyone else is just going to be… everyone else, still doing the same things they were doing a month ago.
And we will be novelists.
Our books might suck. They probably will. But we wrote them. And that’s more than 99% of Creative Writing majors can say by the time they graduate. And it will only take us 30 days.
Who will you be in 30 days?
Let’s be novelists. Come write with us.

Aha! So this is where this is. As I'm from Idaho, I don't know Wisconsin geography at all, so poking around the regions, trying to find this, is fun.
Great job this evening, by the way.
----------First year in college with a project due the first week of November. Remind me why I'm doing this again? Oh yeah...
Also, Cat+Nameless=fail. Apparently.

Just out of curiosity, how do you all feel about a non-student joining in on a Wednesday? I was just looking around and don't see anything else for participants in Beloit (poo).
(To clarify, I'm a student currently, just not at Beloit College, LOL. Out of state FTW)
