I just stumbled across bit of insanity called the
3-Day Novel Contest.
Write a novel over a weekend with the possibility of it being published. It's been noted elsewhere that this would mean you would need to write twenty thousand words a day. I think that's inviting some kind of haemorrage.
Although, apparently Michael Moorcock managed it, but that was because he
needed to do it.
That amount of writing in a day boggles my mind.
