I pledge before you a solemn oath to finish the first draft of a novel before the end of 2016.

1. I will start writing on the 1. January 2016.
2. The draft is to be at least 100.000 words long.
3. I will write in English.

Bonus task: Revise the novel before the year is out.

It is dark and I have my sunglasses on.

I am trusting the forum to keep an eye on me!

*watches you*

Congrats on the challenge to yourself! I think it will at times go faster than you think. The only advice I would give is to write how you write best, and make it work for you.

Have fun with it and let us know how it goes.

Thank you very much!

I chose to spend a whole year instead of just a month like in NaNoWriMo in order to make sure I have time for all the tough days/weeks when the pen is dry.

I promise to keep you updated. In fact, I hope regular updates will force me to focus...

Brilliant challenge and good luck to you!

Posting regular updates certainly helps me keep focus, and it makes me realise when I've fallen behind. :)

Absolutely. I will prod you repeatedly if I haven't heard anything in a while! :)

Cowboy just reminded me that I made a spreadsheet that helps me keep track of my progress. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy I'm sure I can upload it somewhere.
