Take the Metamorphosism challenge

Any hack can finish a novel in a month. I once wrote a novel in three days, on a typewriter, while drinking only coffee and gin, seated at a small table next to the kitchen.

In a revolving restaurant.

This year, next month, take the Metamorphosism challenge and write two 50,000-word novels for Nanaimo. Or Mie Nanamori? Whatever.

Quick, someone design a logo.

Logo:

okay, give me the final name, colours and style. you'll get a logo at the end of the day.

I won't write a novel though. I read yours and I don't think I can ever beat a dead eastblock cop in a remotecontrolled helicopter. (I hope you kept it. it has room for improvement, but i enjoyed it a lot)

Final name: The Metamorphosism Challenge. Or maybe something like, I Took the Metamorphosism Challenge. Or, I'm currently Taking the Metamorphosism Challenge. Or...

Colors: Um. Oh hell.

Style: Something nice.

(Remote-controlled *miniature* helicopter, to be precise. I'm still working on it. I have been all along, clipping here, padding there, changing stuff, changing stuff back. I keep getting to the middle, and returning to the front and starting over. So this time, today, I'm starting the rewrite in the middle and going from there, then back to the start only afterwards. I've printed it out, and will thumb through it at lunchtime, in the park. It's a nice sunny day here.)

When you have another draft, I'd be interested in reading it.

This is off topic (no, I WON'T write a novel!) but these questions are important (please answer before Tuesday) and I can't find your e-mail addy.

1. In Austria is it OK to grope women you don't know very well, just as a playful joke?

2. Do you have to be richer and more powerful than the women, or can pretty much any guy grope freely?

3. Can immigrants and resident aliens grope immediately, or do you have to wait until you have been declared a citizen?

4. What are Austria's immigration requirements? Do you need ESL teachers, for example?

I'm not going to ask about age limits because I'm not a perv.
