I figured I’d put together a short list of reasons why you should take part.

1) There’s nothing like a communal event to get the mind runnin’.

2) As an event its a great excuse to justify time spent on your project on a national level.

3) It’s a great way to get ahead on your buffer or even just for developing the story behind your comic. This gives you more time to work on artwork at later dates or to spend the saved time on other writing projects.

4) For the people who normally create time restraint free, it’s a good time to experiment with a deadline.

5) As a webcartoonist you’ll find a much greater benefit from participating in this event then most novelists will because, honestly, the work you do in the month of November will yield far higher and immediate returns. You are creating product that you will publish yourself and not sending it off to publishers hoping to get published. You’re work will be seen while the majority of projects produced novelists will not.

Just something to think about.
