A challenge accepted

rock4ever95, you know just how to push my buttons, don't you?

Now let me fill the rest of you in on what exactly I'm talking about.

Last year, rock4ever95 and I challenged each other to see who could write the best novel during NaNoWriMo, the loser taking over the other person's blog or a week. That didn't exactly happen. I wrote a 52,110 word novel, rock4ever95 barely wrote anything.

By pushing my buttons in just the right way, rock4ever95 talked me into doing it again last night. We haven't quite figured out what the loser will have to do, but I can assure you that it won't be me.

Rock4ever95? Bring it on.

And for those of you who missed last year's drama, here's a link -> http://shadespinner.blogspot.com/2009/10/national-novel-writing-month.html

Nanowrimo is coming. The drums never stop.

So, less than 90 days till NaNoWriMo begins.

Now, last year, a friend of mine and I challenged each other to a sort of race - who could write the best novel, I think it was. Yes, and I quote

For those of you who don't know, Rougewriter and I have a bet on. Whoever writes the worse novel has to write the other person's blog for them for a week.

Don't worry loyal fans, I will win, Rougewriter has no hope of winning. The contest is lost before it is even started.

I am the champion, I am the champion of the world. (Humming tune) "

And my response -

"@ rock4ever95: Talk about being cocky. The battle's been won before we even started, eh? I have no chance of winning? We'll see about that. "
So yeah, that's the motivation I had for starting last year. I wouldn't mind a repeat of that, actually.
Bring it on.
*humming*

Yes, yes I realize that summer hasn't finished yet and that I tried preparing in advance for Script Frenzy and that failed. But this time I've decided to do what I do best - Muddle my way through a story idea and let it weave its threads into a knot. And yes, I do have a story idea. The person who challenged me to write a story about a - oh what was it? - a crazy punk gang member fish or something like that. . . I don't remember. You will have to wait. My NaNoWriMo plans include a punk junkyard gang king and I have no intention of 'cheating'.
Anyone know this far in advance whether or not they'll be trying their hand at writing 50,000 words?
Anyone want to challenge me?
