Perhaps I might have more success with National Novel Writing Month in November if I warmed up by participating in the 11th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition first.
Their deadline to enter is September 1st, with final entries due by September 30th.
I've long been interested in interactive fiction, having played many Infocom games on the Commodore 64 and Apple II back in the day.
But I've never tried to write interactive fiction. I've done some reading on a few IF programming languages, but never done anything much past ye olde "hello world" stories.
On my Amazon.com wishlist:
Instead of using a "mainstream" IF programming language, I wonder if I might not find more immediate success using Snit? (Which did hit version 1.0 last month.)
