It is a little intimidating for someone who spends most of their writing juice on non-fiction, business topics. However, I love reading novels and have often said, “I think I could do better than this.” And Stephen King says that’s all it takes. Okay, maybe for him–right?

It will be interesting to see how it goes–follow/encourage me along.

He had done it the year before and we were working out story ideas for him when he said those fateful words "You have all the ideas, why don't you do it". He got done 2 days early the first year and 6 days early last year. I think I got done 2 days early, which was great because it was dragging on at the end. I expected that my writing productivity would increase over the month but, alas, no. This year we are trying to talk my wife into doing it as well. If so, it'll be pretty damn quiet around the house in the evenings during November.</p> At the urging of my son, I did it last year and it was great!
