Renovations.
On the weekend, I did a smidge of work on the den where I plan to do the three day novel contest and I measured the walls so I can buy the paint. When I finish this, I'll be ordering some drywall to use in the last stage of the renovation.
And on the second day...
I just filled out the form, wrote the cheque and addressed the envelope.
It's going out in today's outgoing office mail.
I'm SO jazzed.
Thanks to those who have already expressed support. I'll be keeping you posted.

Day the First.
Thursday July 20, 2006.
This is the first entry and it's short, since I haven't really done much.
I decided to use my idea for the novel "diary" as the project.
I also downloaded the registration form.
However, my chequebook is at home, so I will have to wait until tomorrow to mail it .
It has been pointed out that I have neglected to explain the contest very well.
3 Days. 72 Hours. 1 Outline. 2 Hands. 1 Brain. Lots of coffee.
The idea is to write a complete novel from start to finish, with no more than a basic outline pre-written. Here is the contest
website.
I will be posting a bunch of different things here up to the day of the contest. Strategy, outlines and other novel related musings will appear here shortly after they appear in my head. I won't publish the ending in the outline. The fact that I don't yet know how the story ends will pretty much make that the most simple part of the process.
Comments and offers of hand delivered coffee (followed by immediate going-away-and-letting-the-man-work!)during the contest always appreciated.
