New Year Novella

The highs and lows you just experienced after November now seem like a distant memory. But wait, you've decided to take a break from writing seeing as December is completely mad. Well, this here challenge is a gentle one to get you back into the swing of things in the New Year. Have you ever written a novella? No. Now's your chance.

Details

Type: Writing
Goal: 20000 words
 

The Rules

Much like the other writing challenges, this one hinges on your word count. Wikipedia says that a Novella should be between 17,500 and 40,000 words, so we're going for an even 20k.

Start on January 1st (good luck to those starting at midnight :-) and finish by the end of the month.
