The 3-Day Novel Contest (Move Over, NaNoWriMo)
My last post covered what’s been happening with National Novel Writing Month over at the NaNoWriMo website. Writing 50 000 words in a month sounds like the ultimate challenge for any writer.
“Pffff!” you might scoff. “Any sissy could do that. In fact, I bet I can write a novel in 3 days.”
For all you ultra-confident writers (of which I am not one), you can prove yourself by doing just that. The 3-Day Novel Contest (www.3daynovel.com) offers writers the chance to tear their hair out for three days in order to produce some semblance of a novel. Each year, they publish the best entry they get.
Here’s the breakdown:

Hmmm, it could be a toss up: risk free writing frenzy over a month with intellectual benefits, or ultra-frenzied, high-stakes frenzy over 3 days with possible publishing?
If you’re thinking about the 3-Day Novel contest, you have some time to make up your mind. The contest doesn’t run again until September 2009.
I suppose, since they run at different times of the year, one could always attempt both contests…
Anyone here up for the challenge?
