Unfortunately, I have a paper for a graduate class due at the very beginning of next month, and thus I cannot do a whole NaNoWriMo. However, two of my good friends are doing it, so I've set myself a "mini-NaNo" challenge. I want to submit a story to the Writers of the Future contest and the next deadline is the end of December, so I'm going to aim for a 15,000 word short story this month in addition to the paper.

Since I can't do the full novel writing this month, and I know I'm not alone in having too many RL requirements, a few friends and I are contemplating setting up HoliWriMo, using the winter break range (say the 26th of December to the 26th of January, which corresponds roughly to our winter breaks if not precisely) as a timeline. But, since we won't have school, we might up the word count to 75,000. Because we're crazy.
