Oh my god, it's true.
He went for the easy route to reaching 50,000 words.
I was watching the Book Show on sky3 today and the author of those No1 Detective Agency books was showing us his writing day. He only writes for 2 or 3 hours a day and manages 3 to 4 thousand words every single day. He writes four books a year!
F**king prolific bastard.
Well, I haven't read any of them.
But regardless of shitness, they're all best sellers in every fupping country of the world. So, he's doing all right, like.

Sarky. You usualy write scripts not prose, I was nicely surprised.

Hubby feeling frisky then?
I just got the email from them.
I wasn't going to do it - not quite the same as a novel obviously - but maybe I'll give it a go.
So who else is going to do it?
I'm Davetherave (I thought it was grave actually) if anyone wants to be my buddy! Aaaaah!!!
No idea at all what I'm going to write about though.
Thinking of giving this a go.
Would writing a script using characters I've already developed (i.e. writing the second episode of a drama) be considered as cheating?
(I suppose it's the old cliché of 'you're only cheating yourself etc)
This appears to be worthy of consideration. Chances are I will just go off on tangents and write god knows what but its good discipline.
I might give it a go again this year.... depends on how the radio sript I'm trying to write at the moment goes...
My name at Script Frenzy/NaNoWriMo/Celtx Forum is Oz Baston... now there's a surprise I don't think....

Damn you Oz!
Like I need another thing that takes up all my time!
Will at least ensure that a script that I've talked about writing for 4 years actually gets done.

It's only 100 pages this year... That's less than 3.5 pages a day... what's that? 30 minutes max....
