4000 words in one hour challenge http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/word-wars-prompts-sprints/threads/45970 xemmawhyx I am going to challenge myself to this. I have loved Nano this year and have broken so many personal goals, and the story i have to rewrite is good even if the prose itself isn't. I have participated in word wars an even better 3k1hr sprints; but this year for the first time I have won Nano. And I found it easy, incredibly so in a way that I have never expected. I love my characters and want their story completed (I already have a story ready to start next month...) Therefore, at 8pm GMT (3 minutes) I am going to try and write 4000 words in an hour; I'm not even going to work out the needed wpm. I'm just going to write and hope that this works. Wish me luck!

If I can manage one more like that I can reach 50,000 but it may kill me and I'll need a break right now since I just wrote about 6,00 in the last two hours or so.
