As mental preparation for our 20 year reunion, I wrote an amateur novel about a 20th reunion. This plan totally worked (in that I ended up having a great time at the reunion), but I can't really recommend that anyone actually read the resulting novel. Don't say I didn't warn you. (If you really feel the urge to experience my amateur writing, I direct you instead to http://tinyurl.com/RongoNaNoWriMo)
