Local Novel Finishing Month

Our September meeting was full of interesting theme ideas. The subject of NaNoWriMo came up - to gales of laughter. 50,000 words in a month is a lovely goal, but just isn't going to happen for us - especially not during the month of November.

It did inspire another idea, though. Most of us are working on novels, and most of those novels haven't had their fair share of attention lately. Instead of a National novel Writing Month, we proposed a Local Novel Finishing Month. The goal will be to write a chapter a week for one month with a final word count of at least 10,000 words. We'll meet once a week during that month, give each other mad crazy feedback, and hopefully push through to the end. For those more than 4 chapters from the end of their books, this will hopefully provide an inspirational kick in the pants to keep you just as productive after LoNoFiMo.

We couldn't settle on a month. November and December are swamped for everyone. January and March came up (February was ruled out because it was too short). Use the comments to let us know your preference.
