Once again, I did not sign up to participate in NaNoWriMo. I fully encourage and support the concept and organization and recognize that it serves as the impetus for a LOT of creative expression and publication. This is fantastic.

On my own, I have many times written 50K or more in 30 days. 60K, 77K, and even 100K one memorable time, back when I was first starting out writing and stayed up for hours and hours in the night, typing my newbie heart out. I was a lot younger, then.
