The Novel
Marathon
 I grew up believing that to become a working
novelist was to realize a dream of noble and
mythic proportions. In the world that I
inhabited as a young man, my heroes were mainly
novelists, not because of the way they lived
their lives, although that was of great
interest, but because they had created stories
providing me with enjoyment, insights and wisdom
… That said, I was astonished to read in the New
York Times about NaNoWriMo, the contest created
to dramatize National Novel Writing Month, which
is November. The goal of the contest was to
create a novel of 50,000 words in 30 days...My
first reaction, after a loud guffaw, was to put
the idea down with snobbish disdain. Really!
Writing a novel is not a marathon. See
complete story.
