Write 50,000 words in a month?
I seriously decided to attempt it once. [Signed up more than once, but seriously decided to Do It when serious real life things were happening and I thought this would give me an escape route for a period of time each day. Unfortunately, real life exploded and that attempt never even got started, but such is life, and on it goes.]
I am seriously considering seriously attempting it next month. Partially because, hey, I have a book due next year that needs werdz to get written, and going for it pedal-to-the-metal feels like a good thing. Now, technically, I have sort of started that book already, but not really. I would probably start over.
But that brings up the subject of "starting at page one" for nanowrimo, which is the rule, and I understand it. But I also know pro writers with multiple deadlines who use nanowrimo to goose their productivity, and keep track of all their words on various projects, aiming for 50,000 total words in the month.
Enough about me. What about you? I have a couple of links to help you prep for nanowrimo, so you'll be ready at midnight, November 1st, with the [as of this writing] almost 60,000 other people who have already signed up!
