Woops, it's over now, but for future reference: That's up to you! As long as you're over the 50,000-word cutoff, you've got a novel in the eyes of NaNoWriMo. If you have time and space to refine, that's great. See the official NaNoWriMo site for details.

This was great! With a discipline of writing at least 30 minutes every day (okay, so I missed three, but I made them up and then some on subsequent days), I got over 28,000 words into my manuscript. It’s far from finished, but there’s enough there that I feel like it will be (maybe just another couple of months to a complete first draft). That’s amazing for me. And I’m going to try to keep up my writing practice through December (I already know January will be nearly impossible).

I second solomonproject – just knowing you were all out there writing helped me keep with it.

Love them words, people!

Although I’m not officially joining this event, might as well try to write one. I’m feeling a little inspired. Thanks for the idea.

I know its already late in the game… thinking of trying this with little tiny words. Words of no more than 4 letters maybe. That oughta boost my word count if I can keep with the process. I guess I could try and say something as well. You can probably say an awful lot with only 4 letters. If I could only decide what order to put the words in…
