Did you enter last year? I looked into it a few months ago and really didn’t understand the concept.
I find nanowrimo challenging, so I really can’t comprehend how someone can churn out 50,000 words in 3 days. Even 10,000 words I find a challenge.
Hey Don! Thanks for dropping by my blog and actually leaving a comment! LOL Well with a full time job, side gig, writing books & school, yeah cranking out 50k words in 3 days for contests like these do prove to be a CHALLENGE!
I can do 10k in a day that’s not a problem if I’m inspired or motivated. Time flies & so does the words. However…I haven’t tried the 3 day novel contest posted here. I have been on their mailing list for a year. And I have checked out their site on occassion. Still I encourage people to research the info b/c I can’t vouch for it at this time. If you decide to go for it by all means keep me posted. I checked out your blog & I’ll be sure to visit it often for more of your updates!
Keep posted for more contest updates as I’ve got a handful of them I’ll be posting over the next couple of months.
