One thousand words on the hour every hour for 24 hours?

Visible to anyone in the world
Any takers? I did this in 2002 and 2003. A blogathon. The first? The process is extraordinary because if you haven't developed an immediate conversational style online yet this obligation to write 1,000 fresh words on the hour will develop in you the ability to write what you think as the thought is formed. Google 'stream of consciousness' it has many past masters.

Hi Jonathan

What a great idea!  However, I really don't think I could do it...1,000 words per hour - every hour - for 24 hours? T'would be wondrous joy to be able to commit to such an endeavour; I wish you well with it!

..when is it happening?

No dates fixed. I have to admit to a certain dread. I managed the first time but on the second occasion succumbed to sleep by 2.00pm. We had people in Japan and North America which kept the energy going.

A thopusand an hour? That would seem excessive. But if you do get it arranged count me in for at least a few hours.
