Sticky Post - NaNoWriMo

All bets are on for my NaNoWriMo Attempt. Simply comment with a forfeit I have to do if I fail to reach 50,000 words. However in the extremely low chance that I reach the target you have to do the bet instead!

If I fail to reach 50,000 words by November 30th:

• Linda wants me to write a highly praising article about her.
• Mr Fab wants me to perform a video Karaoke version of American pie
• Dale wants me to write a post about my failure of NaNoWriMo and 2 other failures of my choice. He also wants me to praise for once managing to finish NaNoWriMo
• Sandy wants me to give up being cynical for exactly one post and give a happily-ever-after ending for each of my characters (a la my Harry Potter sequel post, which was (apparently) hilarious).

Money, Forfeits, blog post, adverts, video clips, the possibilities are endless. Just keep it light hearted and keep it legal. Otherwise I promise to do anything you ask, providing of course I fail to meet target. Ladies and Gentlemen, please your bets.

The NaNoWriMo forfeits

During the month of November, I'm taking part in NaNoWriMo, the outrageous quest to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days.

This has 2 Fringe Effects
Firstly, this blog may remain largely dormant throughout November, but then you should all be used to that by now.

Secondly, all bets are on! In order to give me an extra kick up the backside I'm letting you play along at home.
Here's how it works. You pledge to do something should I get past the 50,000 word mark, e.g. If Simon finishes the novel I will...Write a praising blog entry, pay him some money or run naked down the high street. Make sure it's something that wouldn't haunt you for the rest of your life incase I actually reach 50,000 words.

However if I fail to reach 50,000 words then, and here's the bonus, I carry out the pledge instead! E.g I write you a praising blog entry, I increase your bank funds,and I scare small children In Bristol Town centre.

I will of course abide by the rules of NaNoWriMo completely, and will validate any success by decorating my blog with the NaNoWriMo winners badge.

And best of all, the odds are highly in your favour. Only 17% of people actually complete NaNoWriMo, and I've never finished anything in my life, except maybe second helpings at dinner.

So make a pledge today. We can play this game together.
