Just wanted to officially announce that I'm lowering my goal from 200k to 150k. It's based on various reasons but the main one is that I think I was too ambitious in setting my wordcount last december. I'd just come out of an amazing month and was still buzzing from it. Also I realised that I haven't announced formally: If anyone beats the highest MLs wordcount (Which is currently me, but could easily change, Come on Sue 30k by Saturday!! You can do it!). Anyway so get typing. :) |

Yeah but you work. I don't do much other than write. :P
Seriously just because I do large wordcounts doesn't mean anyone's not good enough. I can't emphasis enough that any wordcount is amazing and 50k is very very hard. Whatever your wordcount you should be proud of it.
Personally I am not working and I'm only spending 3 hours at college (including travelling time). That's the reason for my high wordcount.

For me it's not so much the amount of time I have available - it only takes about 1hr15 a day to write 50K over the month, and I could easily spend more time than that writing. It's more that I'm quite assignment-focused - so I'll write to 50K and that's enough to meet the challenge, so I end the novel. That's why I love Nanowrimo: without someone setting me the "homework" I just wouldn't bother writing anything, and it would nag at me all year round.
Still, I am always a bit envious of the people who can spend the whole day writing, and I always try to take a few days off work in November.

I agree. Nothing like a deadline to get me working. Focuses the mind like nothing else.

Yeah exactly. That's why I set myself high goals. I have the time. I have nano as my motivation. I just make as much use out of it as physically possible for me. :) And I like the challenge. I like setting higher goals for myself and meeting them. It's part of what makes me.. me.

If anyone beats the highest MLs wordcount what? I am extremely interested about what happens if we do!

Lol. You know NaNo has finally come when!
If anyone beats our wordcounts then we'll buy them a special prize. That was pretty much the entire point of me writing that bit up there. >_<
