It'd be about 1,675 words/day on average. If you think about it? You probably do that or more in a good, solid rp post with its threads. The trick is whether you can do it every day, etc. XD

I've won it one year, haven't had time other years, miiiight try this year again, am still deciding.

Good luck if you do! Who knows, I might try something similar (though without... actually entering, because everything I'd work on is stuff I've already done a bit of writing on already).

... Though thinking of it that way is interesting; I got curious and ran my comments from my last prose log through a word-counter and the total was 1437. XD I doubt I'd have time to crank out that much or more every day, but it's still an interesting thought!

Hee. Depending on outside commitments, it really is doable. The real trick is just to get the words out - don't bother about editing or polishing at all during it, just spill the words onto the page.

XD And that's definitely the problem I have. Ideas come to me really easily; it's actually getting them down that's hard.

Then think of it as practice!

:D?

So tempting ;;

*tempt tempt* Besides, it's not like it's a ~big deal~ if you end up not making it. Could be fun to give it a shot and see how far you get. If nothing else, it gives you a good start on a project.

Or just say screw the rules and use it TO work on something you've already started. It's not a formal thing, really.

Yeah, that's definitely what I'd do. XD Though to be fair I wouldn't enter the contest portion, I guess.
