This is a brilliant idea! I'd participate if I had a novel going, or any ideas for one, but sadly, I don't. I'm not really into writing novels, more like short stories and stuff. I think this will be my New Year's resolution for next year though... :)

We need a team name!
How 'bout...
Team NovYears!

The Nov is Novel and the Years is Year. But plural.

My advice is to find an idea you like, model the main character after yourself, and try not to think of it as a project. :D

I'm thinking it's time for a contest or event or something, what do you guys say? I'll take that as a "Hell yes!" Here's the plan, we need a team name and a mascot, so we'll actually do two competitions! First, nominate a mascot, it can be anything on the face of God's green earth except for Ted Nugent's pinky toe. Second, nominate a team name that you believe is incredibly awesome.

The first ten nominations will go into two polls with I will put up in The Lounge, be sure to vote, but no voting for your own! The two with the most votes will be out team name and official mascot. Let's kick this pig!

Well, I was going to nominate Ted Nugent's pinky toe as mascot, but since that's apparently frowned-upon, I nominate...Flea!

And as our team name, Team FinishThis sounds pretty good.

I nominate The Novel Revolution or The Writer Revolution because we are on the write side.

And for a mascot, Freddie Mercury.

Alas, before I join the #finishthis revolution, I have to join the #startthis revolution to have a novel to finish.
