The Novel-athon

By Gary Davison

Reasons to write a Blockbuster Novel

1. I like money
2. Chicks like writers
3. Chicks love rich writers

Supplies

• 6 cases/Energy Drink
• 5 cases/Ramen
• 3 cases/Mens Diapers

Day 1. Marathon begins: Novel’s too hard: considering Novella.

Day 2. Who needs money: exploring Short Story.

Day 3. Writers block: re-stocked supplies, researching Flash Fiction.

Day 4. Block worsens: reading ‘Writing for Brevity’, thinking Micro Fiction.

Day 5. Breakthrough: Wow!, words figuratively flying from fingertips… I’m obviously delusional.

Day 6. Word total 4: Title’s almost finished. Eyelids stuck in wide open position, yikes!

Day 7. Re-stocked supplies: added eye drops… It’s on!
