So, aspiring writers, you may also desire to glom onto the sadistic sub-culture of NaNoWriMo (National something and Writing something) over at http://nanowrimo.org/ and go for the attempt of 50,000 hastily hashed out words - ultimately being considered as a 'novel' in the most technical sense of the word. That's 1666.66 [repeating] words per day. 1666 awful, putrid, banal words a day. So, I have my own participation page to completely lie about my progress http://nanowrimo.org/participants/edwardianjackal. For example, I'm already at 1,000,000 words on day one. America, f*ck yeah!
Here's a few tool kits for you aspiring souls that want to cobble together the next YA (young adult) series about the lonely outsider teenager struggling to find acceptance at middle school, but comes to find out she has powers granted by the Ancient Egyptians, Cleopatra's Amagination Diagrammatica: Book 1: The Clique Astounding.
