I'd so love to participate in National Novel Writer's Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/). I just don't think I have the time... I'm going to be going crazy with work stuff trying to get something done, or as close to it as possible, by Thanksgiving. Heh, that would honestly be a way to get

I would love to read a novel of yours! You should totally give this a try.

Does it count if you write little pieces of all different stories?

Hee. Yes. Look at Boccaccio's Decameron. And maybe Le Guin's Changing Planes. The only thing that made them novels and not 'story collections' is a loose narrative frame. You could do that.

Lol. I know, but I don't have much time. Funny thing-- my one big fanfic is more than this many words lol. heh, true, I could do that. But I think I meant work on multiple unrelated things-- multiple fanfics or something... so I dunno. It works out to about 1700 words a day-- 1666.6666666666... Which may not be that hard, but then again...

Not sure what I'd rather write, though-- work on a fanfic, or work on an original work. I've got ideas for both, though more concrete things for fanfics than original stuff.

Or any of James Herriot's books!
