The Labor Day weekend approaches, which has always meant three things: putting away the white shoes and seersucker suit, switching from gin and tonic to bourbon, and tackling the 3-Day Novel. This year, we're abandoning the third of these.
After a decade of Labor Day weekends spent consuming lethal quantities of coffee and ignoring the classic football games while hunched over a keyboard, we are packing in our nouns and verbs and adjectives.
No more dangling participles, split infinitives, mixed metaphors, groaning gerunds and fractured syntax. 3-Day Novel, we're done. Pass the bourbon. Bring on the football.
(But if they come up with a 5-Day Novel contest, let us know.)
