30 Days. 50,000 Words. ££££ for Charity...



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!

You can sponsor her at any time at: http://www.justgiving.com/clareprsnanowrimo
