Found my next favorite blog, and this one is incredibly timely. The Curzon Group appears to be a group of thriller writers who submit their work toward a common story. Years ago a radio host promoted this same concept. He asked a dozen or so thriller writers to write one chapter, one after the other, and continue a thriller novel as a group. Sounded like fun, and this Curzon group does too. I look forward to following it, particularly now that I'm trying my own hand at writing a thriller.
And as this is National Novel Writing Month, I found this link (here) that lists famous books that have been written in short time periods. (I believe I pulled this link from the Curzon Group website) I don't write my 50K word stories expecting them to come out perfectly. I'm not Robert B. Parker whose first draft is his last. I like this month becuase it makes me put something down and gives me a deadline for doing it. Self-editing while writing will come later I hope.

I'm an unofficial NaNo'er this year because I've chosen to submit my 50K towards my WIP. I once did a group novel a few years back and it was a blast!
