November
is National Novel Writing Month and for the past few years, PPS' Clare Worley
has been meaning to take up the NaNoWriMo Challenge: write an entire novel of
at least 50,000 words in just one month.
This year, she's going to finally have a go, in aid of our charity partner Radio Lollipop.

She'll
be taking sponsorship leading up to and during November, and (if she finishes),
the book will be available to buy for your eBook reader/tablet with all
proceeds going to Radio Lollipop.
That's
not all. As well as donating massive chunks of her free time (and coffee
bill...) to the project, Clare wants you to be involved.
NaNoWriMo
is all about starting a brand new project from scratch and she'd like to crowd
source ideas from the PRS for Music gang.
Send
us your ideas and we'll pass them on. It could be a prompt for the story idea
itself (such as A boy riding a dolphin on a Tuesday morning in the rain
discovers a lost city of underwater dwellers who bear absolutely no resemblance
to Jar-Jar Binks.... or The entire population of London is brought down
by a mysterious plague with the exception of one Grateful Dead fan...) or
ideas for characters, events, themes or motifs to include. Or indeed, turns of
phrase, jokes and anything else you'd like to contribute.
Anything
that's used (no guarantees) will be fully credited to the provider unless you
ask to remain anonymous.
There
are no restrictions but please keep it pretty clean to keep the final project
as accessible to as many people as possible.
Clare
will share her progress (or lack thereof) over the course of November, so return here for more bits, pieces, snippets and the rest!
