Well, a lot of people have winter break/vacations and whatnot, and I think everyone would have more spare time to write a novel then. I mean it's the tail-end of the semester here and we've got finals coming up soon.

Exactly, I mean, do you want to do an alternate NaNoWriMo?

What's the point though? The only reason I wanted to do it in the first place was that I might have a chance of it getting printed.

Ya I know, I wanted that too. Oh well. Better luck next year I guess? For me it was more about forcing myself to be a writer but I really just don't have that kind of discipline. Writing when you don't want to is so stupid.

Considering it is my overall aspiration to be a writer I'm using this opportunity to force words out onto the page. What's best is that I finally overcame the hurdle that was blocking me from actually getting a word count going. Now every time I sit down I'm getting 500-1000 words, which means I should catch up to the 25,000 count in the next few days. Which will be nice.

If anyone does do the 50,000 thing in December, I might be up for that as well, any times a good time. Writing challenges are fun.

21,355 eerr... wow dislexia had me excited for a second there. 12,355 words down. I am still way behind. Someone pump me full of speed and effopsudorine pseudoephedrine* that will set me up to my word count in no time.

*have a strange feeling that maybe speed has pseudoephedrine in it now that I'm thinking about it.

No, speed is made with pseudoephedrine. It's not important why I know this.

Hmm so basically I was asking for speed and speed. Excellent.

I don't take this pseudo nonsense if I want to get high. When I want to get stoned, I use the real McCoy.

Not exactly, their actions are similar because they're related but there are differences. For one, nobody likes pseudoephedrine.

You don't know a lot about drugs do you.

Yeah it's a catchy group, but don't you think there are better ways?

p.s. Abandon all hope all yee who enter here. I'm skipping out on the forum for the rest of the month, and any other social activities.* I may pop in for a few seconds here and there, but I make no guarantees about anything. Just FYI.

*oh god I class this as social

Lol I could write that many words in a day if I wanted. 50,000 you say? If I can type 45 words per minute, then that would be 2700 each hour, so that within 19 hours I could complete it. And dear god am I tempted. I have essays to write, then maybe I'll tackle it. Or maybe not make 50,000 but get a fucking high number.

But will the words make sense? Probably, I would even be tempted to read whatever it is you would write.

Plus my typing speed is about 75wpm so I should be finished much faster... but I wont be. So sad.

I have fortified with vodka, and now I am onto the writing. Huzzah.
