I stumbled across this crazy 3 day novel writing challenge for next weekend (and I thought NaNoWriMo was tough!). Like NaNo, you’re allowed to start with an outline, but unlike NaNo, there’s no specific word count you’re trying to achieve after 3 days, and thusly, no daily word count. Just as much as you can. From what I gathered, 100 pages is average.
I’m crazy busy right now, so I’m not really seriously considering it, but I couldn’t help consider it a little…
My first thought was: how do you plot a novel to conclude in or around 100 pages? Even with a good outline I tend to overwrite, especially in first drafts. My scenes bloat with new ideas as I'm typing. I feel like there would be so many loose ends after three days, even if I was aiming shorter.

Anyone doing this?
