Nanowrimo: The Final Insult
by Daniel Swensen on Dec.01, 2006, under Writing
And so another National Novel Writing Month comes to a close, and with it, the caffeinated fever dreams of would-be novelists everywhere. As they say on the Captain Crunch boxes: millions will enter, hundreds will win. Dozens will produce something worth reading, and of the several who actually dare to show it a close friend, a choice few will get honest feedback… like the kind we see in today’s comic.
It’s been a long, fun, harried Month of Writing the National Novel, and (in case you were wondering) I am, in fact, “a winner.” I want to thank the loquacious Matt Kessen for filling in for me all through the month of November, and telling you all more about Godzilla than you ever thought it was possible to know in the first place. I’d like to thank the Academy and the little people — Billy Barty, Warwick Davis, David Rappaport. I’ve got a million of them. Tip your waiter. Try the veal. Look for a return to form in December, where “form” is “Dan slack-assing through another month of cut-rate bloggery.”
See you again next year, Nanowrimo!
