Start fessing up. Whose gonna help move this to 50,000 posts before the end of NaNoWriMo? (I myself, being one of them)

National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org)

I've got my plot bunny planned and everything. *Pleased*

Okay, so it'll go over quite a few threads.













But thinks! That's how many pages we NaNo'ers must write.

I'm not sure I'm doing NaNoWriMo. :aaah:

I don't do NaNo. I write all year. (And 50,000 posts is just silly.)

So are we just padding in here all next month?

I've signed up for 100,000 words this year, and now feel a little anxious about it all.

Yep, signed up this year, too! :bouncy:
My third year!
The first year I had very little plot, the second very much planning, and now I'm mostly back to what I did the first year. I'm freaked out and excited. To add excitement this year, I'm flying back to Finland from New Zealand (after spending four months here) on the 1st of November. :help: I'll undoubtedly have quite a few things to sort out there...

There are more than fifty words to a page, though, so it will be far far less than 1,000 pages. :erm:

To be 'true' to NaNo, it should be 50,000 one word posts, which is definitely not happening. (And should be in the Fun and Games forum, or other non-counting-area, anyway)

Cant do it this year (bloody dissertations etting in the way. Very impolite if you ask me) *quietly curls in a ball and wibbles from the work she has to do and should have done last week*

50,000 posts? That's a 1,000 page thread! :faint:It's 50,000 words for nanowrimo. equals just under 2500 a day (what I worked off last year)

Sorry, I meant that if there's 50 posts per thread, and there's 50,000 posts - that makes 1,000 pages.

No, I understood what you meant: 50 posts=1 page, 50,000 posts=1,000 pages.

I was trying to explain that NaNo is 50,000 words, not 50,000 posts, and 50,000 posts is unreasonable, if not impossible.

Also, the title of this thread doesn't sit right with me. It reads like a WLT title, which I ordinarily wouldn't mind, but then it has a question that I think should have a 'Will it' at the start. (WLT can be pronounced 'will it')

Also also, I have no idea why I'm so picky today. :erm:

Do you need :wine: or :coffee: or :beer:? Or :choc: or :cookie:?? We have plenty for those kinds of days

Why is it that when you WANT inspiration Plot bunnies seem to be an extinct species and when you dont have time to write they attack you en masse?

I have FAR too many Plot bunnies swarming over me and no time to write anything :tantrum:
