And thanks to these organizations for their prizes and promotional support:
Registration is closed for the 31st Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest. If you would like to be notified of next year's contest, to take place in September 2009, send an email to info@3daynovel.com and we'll add you to our mailing list.
Need a journal to plan your outline? A t-shirt to announce your achievement? A mug for the five hundred cups of coffee you'll need to make it though this? Never fear! 3-Day Novel merchandise is now available at CafePress.com.
... Take three deep breaths. Guzzle coffee, black or with sugar. Don't punish yourself. Do that on Tuesday. Get back to work. Take phone off hook. Pull drapes. If you feel lonely — an outcast — you are. That manuscript is now your only friend, the only one who cares. Finish it. Let it have a life, even if you don't. Bravo.
