Dave took part in a novel-writing event, or actually a complete month, recently (it was at least a year ago) in which each participant was charged with writing a 175pg. novel (50,000 words) during the month of November. All things equal, that's 1667 words per day. I'm pretty sure I 'bs' my way through 1700 words worth of emails in a day, but could I put together that many words devoted to the same coherant thought?
Of course I would worry about a few things...
-At what point would I abandon the story and devote entire plot lines to perfecting my latest zone defense?
-How many times can I write a 7-man defensive line in the margins before I finally accept that this obsession of mine really is unhealthy?
-Do I really have time to write 1667 words a day without neglecting my work?
All things to consider. Maybe I'll try it, I think I could enjoy the challenge and maybe I'd surprise myself...
You know I'm just doing this to procrastinate anyway, why not take it to the limit?

If it would help, the novel could include your latest zone defenses.
I remain undecided on whether I will be making the attempt this year.
This seems like fun. I have something I've been meaning to do. It also seems tough. Maybe I'll give it a try.
