Long, long ago, in a city in a province in a country in a hemisphere on a planet very near you, a young man was born by the name of Tim.
Tim the young grew up to become Tim the man, and as he grew in age and stature, so too did his ego.
In 2006, Tim the man participated in NaNoWriMo for the third time. He would win this year, reaching over 50,000 words in just thirty days. Little did he know, upon his registration, that this would be a most auspicious time in his life, for it was the beginning of The Book of Tim.
That year, Tim challenged everyone in his home region of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to include him in their novels. Those who did were rewarded with a win. Coincidence? Perhaps.
Sadly, no records remain of that first challenge. We hope to recover some remnants, but for now, they remain lost to the ether.
In 2007, Tim again participated in NaNoWriMo. He won yet again, and again he challenged his fellow Calgarians to include him in their novels. Many of those who took the challenge sent Tim excerpts of their novels. These excerpts can be found here.
2007 was also the year that saw the beginnings of the Scripture of Tim. We have only uncovered a small amount of these verses, but will add to this page as we find more.
This year, 2008, Tim is opening up the challenge to the whole world. Those who would like to contribute to The Book of Tim must send their entries to Tim (username: Hero) via the NaNoMail on the NaNoWriMo web site.
Good luck to all!
