Publishing, the Open Source Model

The month is going well enough. So far, 2000 words per day seems like a pace I can do. The trick is, don't look back.

I have a Google news alert to bring mentions of NaNoWriMo to my inbox. Today I got a press release regarding one participant who is writing an "open source" novel. The text is published as it is written. At the end of November, the manuscript will be edited (and thus improved, is the idea) not by just the author, but others as well. J. Wynia also has a helpful blog regarding self publishing.
