And if writing a 50,000 word novel in
one
month is bad enough,
Anvil Press holds a
3-day novel
contest every year (it's already been held this year sadly).
I don't think I'm up to that challenge.
But for the more visually talented people out there, you also have the 24-hour
comic, in which you draw a 24 page comic book in 24 hours. I've read a
few and inevitably, the drawings get more and more loose and the story
line (as much as there is one) gets less and less coherent. It might be
interesting to draw one backwards—that is, start with the last page and
work your way forward. That way, the drawings get tighter and the story
gets more coherent as you read along.
Again, I don't think I'm up for that challenge either.
And then there's the 24-hour
play …
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
