[QUOTE="SteveHorsfall, post: 176291, member: 2094"] I signed up for that some years ago, but half-way through realised I'd never hit the target. Some people had already hit it! On the website, you could read short extracts from fellow-contestants' work. Some were not bad, some were unreadable. There was also a forum, though how anyone found the time both to write their novel at the necessary rate to hit 50,000 words in a month and post on a forum, I don't know. I did try to continue the novel, but my computer crashed, and I lost the lot, because I didn't have it backed up. Lesson learned. I may try again some day: I could probably reconstruct what I'd written, more or less, and I've had a few ideas for other characters and incidents in the intervening years (it was to be a fairly light, undemanding romcom with lots of other sub-plots set amongst a church congregation).
