I think we oughta get some sort of reality TV series based on/during NaNoWriMo.

A group of, say, 12 writers live together in one house, for a period of...4 weeks. :D Or however long. Doesn't have to be based on NaNoWriMo I guess.

Anyway, you'd maybe get judged from a reading at a Starbuck's/cafe or something.....

Hmm...

How does one go through pitching a series idea? :D

I think if you want to be taken seriously, you should work on your writing skills.

"Da Bestest Idea EVER!"?

Deary me.

Next time try "The Bestest Idea What Was EVER Thinked Up!!!!"

(The addition exclamation points are the real key, though)

Dude.

I got about 5 minutes before this anti-ADD med takes effect.

The dog refuses to snuggle.

I'll type however I want.

(Oh dear....Looks like the cats will need some of my medicine....)

Twelve people, hunched over computers, for a month.

I know I wouldn't miss it.

Oh, wait... that's us.

It was deliberate. Honestly, it was. But you knew that, didn't you.:Hug2:

NEXT WEEK: The drama continues when the house beverages are all switched to caffeine.

EVENING NEWS: A house of twelve writers was turned into a corpse-filled disaster scene earlier today, when a challenge went into effect....

I think that program already exists. Maybe in England. I remember reading about a Writer Idol kind of program where the winner got a publishing contract.

The Hope: Watch as 12 writers compete to win at Nano, each fighting the deadlines and pressures of plot, dialogue, pacing and characterization.

The Reality: Today we check in on our 12 writers and see - 2 cleaning house (again), 3 are baking brownies, 1 is still checking his belly button for lint, 4 are "walking it out" to clear their heads, while the other 2 are stuck on level 6 of Halo 3.

probably watching DARK KNIGHT
This is the true story of 12 writers picked to live in a loft and have their lives taped and find out what happens when people stop being polite and start doing their BIC.

I kind of like it. We could all volunteer and get our room and board paid for while we work on our WIP, but nobody would watch it, so we wouldn't have to worry about humiliating ourselves on national TV.

I'm in, but only if we can have a monkey in the house. And no physical challenges unless they pertain to word count or using a printer.

After a month of no movement and just some writing, we'll all wind up on The Biggest Loser.... :)

"Haunted" by Chuck Palahniuk.

Been done, guys.

Admittedly his was way more gross (except for Midnight Muse... ick with the hand joke) and you guys are way more funny.

Badducky doesn't understand jokes. It's a sickness.
