Editing month is almost over. I know a lot of forumites did great in November, and others (such as myself) didn't quite finish.

-SO- I'm hosting the Malazan Nanowrimo, January 2012 edition. It's a make-up month, kinda. If you didn't get done, you have another chance to achieve the sought after 50k. Even if you did succeed, participate again! You know you can do it, why not get that novel finished off?

Rules:

The goal is 50,000 words during the month of January, starting on New Year's eve.

Unlike the actual Nanowrimo, I encourage you to build off of your previous manuscripts. 50k words isn't usually enough to write an entire book, so maybe you can build off your November submission. Or you can start a new story, I don't really care.

The whole point of this is too keep the writing up. Only writing in November is not the way to go about it.

So here we go. Anyone interested?

I have 23.5 hours until January 1st. I may start at midnight, and write until about 5am. Just for the kicks.

Edit: Wooh more people! :D

800 words in one document, which is going to be real bad trash, 500 in another, which I then promptly deleted. Yeah, I'm rolling.

Wow, bad start... Only 551 words thus far. Having fun though.
Could I perhaps read something that one of you are writing? I feel like reading something.
