well... just been alerted to this a couple of weeks ago online. It's an event: to write 50,000 words in November. Anyone from anywhere can participate, it's amazing to see so many writers gather at one place.

ok, my next question is, do you write in front of the computer or use a scrapbook? i like writing with blank sheets of papers then editing the stuff as i type on the com. Most of my stuff are written over many boring train journeys from home to uni and back. so, anyone?
