I did 30k in October. Gonna push for 50k more in NaNo proper. Need a novel to sell when my short stories (hopefully) win the Dells this year and publishers go gaga (that's totally going to happen guys.)

Hey, I'd totally pay for your novels, Bat. FARTs be damned, I'd be happy to give you my money!

Never have, probably never will. No interest in publishing anyways. :P

Yes, sure it will. More shrooms?

**** is your issue, nooblycaeks? I've worked my way up to second place over the past couple years. First isn't an outside shot. Just the selling a manuscript as a result of that is, but it's not gonna hurt my chances.

* Dilmah G purchases said 'shrooms for Battuta and S-99.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was joking around. I personally support you though Battuta, as much as I disagree with you sometimes, denying the fact you're an extremely capable writer would just be being a dick.

This NaNoWriMo thing sounds interesting; may do it for the fun of it. :D

Same here. But I sorta lack concepts that I can expand to novel size.

I had a great idea back in December for a novel. But now 11 months later I think it's stupid and I can't write about it, so I'm still stuck at just about 82 words. :(

All right, you little nooblets, how are you doing?

I'm just ahead of the curve. Still on target to make it.

NaNoWriMo is a huge conspiracy to slow down my writing. I haven't gotten 5k words done this month.

From memory, winning is simply (or not so simply) meeting the word count.

To win you need to hit 50,000 words in the month, which is the goal of NaNoWriMo. I did it in 2/3rds of the alloted time!
