I achieved 50K last year, which is why I’m thinking of trying for a little more this year. I write about 1,000 words per hour when I write fiction, so 80K would be only one more hour every day. I think I should be able to do that, although I haven’t decided for sure yet whether I’ll try.

Ah~ good for you. I’m still thinking of what to write. As for me, I don’t think I can handle 80,000 words in one month, so I guess I’ll for 50K and continue it when I get the chance.

Mariella –

I have lots of story ideas. The decision was which one to use. But yes, I know what my novel will be about.

I think I may go for 80,000 words this year, instead of 50,000…

Speaking of NaNoWriMo, that would be a good subject for a blog post, Deb!

We all need to exchange user names (once everyone is signed up). I’m still signed up from last year, I think. In any case, my user name is Katharine Swan and always will be. )

Micah –

Congrats on the job — I hope you really did get it!

Kis –

I don’t think you’re being cynical. I think if they make a point to put a big dollar amount in the ad, they are trying to dazzle you so that you won’t notice what you’re really getting. It’s kind of like a guy in a super flashy sport car…

And finally, Mariella and Micah and Ann –

I’m doing NaNoWriMo, too. I can’t wait! I’m more worried about maintaining my usual income this year, though — between my regular work, the online writer’s conference this month, NaNo in November, and my horsey responsibilities, I’m thinking I may need 28 hour days in order to get it all done!

Oooh..oh right. Congrats on the break, Jodee. See you in a month then. I hope you enjoy your break.

As for NaNoWriMo, I’ll just email you my username, Micah so we can add each other up to our friends’ list.
