Big Plans
Daniel Hudson Burnham, the architect and planner, credited with the success of the Worlds Columbian Exposition in Chicago of 1893, allegedly said, "Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood. . ." To write a novel in a month is not an insignificant plan. When I mention it to friends I get double takes and snickers. But behind those chuckles I can feel the esteem that would ensue if it actually came to pass.

Dan Zadra says, "Trust your crazy ideas." He talks to executives in training, who mostly have shed their crazy ideas on their way up the corporate ladder. Authors aren't usually afflicted with the same inhibitions. The idea of writing 50,000 words in November, in the hopes that someone out there will want to read it is, well, crazy.

!Big crazy plan!
