Let's write a novel in 80 days!

Seriously, check it out: May - You Write Your Novel 

The idea is very simple: write 80 thousand words in 80 days, starting May 1st. A lot of people have heard of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), the challenge to write 50 thousand words in the month of November. Well, this is the spring/summer alternative.

I suppose I could just write every day for most of the year. But what would be the fun in that? There's something about a challenge and a race against time that's kind of fun. (Don't get me wrong, I detest deadlines. But they're fun when there's nothing important riding on them!)
