I was almost insane enough to try it. I said to myself, “Self, you can totally handle writing an entire novel in one month plus writing 20 pages of your best, most polished and impressive short story ever for the grad school selection committee plus working a full time job…”
Hm, I must be that insane, actually, because I still wanna do it.
But my more sensible side has, sadly, prevailed. This story is more important than anything. My GRE verbal score was well above what I needed (yay!) but if my writing sample is shit then that won’t matter. After all, it’s a creative writing program. All they really care about is whether you can write.
(God, I hope I can write.)
Anyway, good luck to all the wrimos out there typing away, especially the NaNoKnights from last year…I wish I were charging frantically ahead along with you…
