The Novel

[dotinthesky]

I'm going to do something mad:

I've counted 23 days (excluding the 4 that I'll be in Montpellier) until my departure to Brazil. I've also just bought a note book that has 96 pages (192 back and front)...

I'm going to write a novel until then! That means I have to average 8 pages a day...

What do you think? Can I pull it off? I don't want to tell you what it's about, it's going to be randomly selected by me in a minute from 4 options...

I know I'm setting myself up for a headache, but I figured that if I can write 8 pages or more per day, switch off my editor, and just plow through, I'll have the rough draft of something by the 14 of December... it's similar to what Jack Kerouac did, though without the drugs...

yes!!! I should finish chapter 11 today. It's going to have 24 chapters, and I'm writing one a day... that means that on the 14th of December, when I leave for Brazil, is when I must finish the book...

everything is going fine but I have to plan the story a bit more today... it's just going random!
