So, what is this 'writing room'? The answer: a kind of 'unofficial' NaNoFiMo with no goals except to finish that project that would otherwise be hanging over your head when the new year comes around. You can use it to finish your NaNoWriMo novel or to try to write 'the end' on something that you set aside earlier in the year. Or to end the year on the ultimate high, why not dig through your archives and unearth the 'WIP-from-hell'? I know you've got one - everyone does. It's that story that you started (possibly many years ago) and thought was going to be your first awesome best-seller. Then it ate your soul. You dropped it in a drawer or the novel graveyard or a folder buried somewhere on your hard drive and promised yourself that you'd come back to it later... So, these are your options for the 'writing room': 1) start and finish a whole new novel/short story/whatever you like 2) finish your NaNo novel 3) finish a novel/short story/whatever you like from earlier in the year 4) dig up the 'WIP-from-hell' and try to finish it Like I said, the only goal is finishing. Whether it's a thousand words or a full 50k, what unites us in the Writing Room is a single desire: write 'the end' . See you there!

Siana, I was reading this post and I've just realized how many WIPs-from-hell I have. There's 5 I can think of just off the top of my head. My December is going to be totally devoted to finishing my current project, but maybe at some point during 2012 I should try to revive one or two of them... You've given me something to think about here.
