I decided to do a thread this year because it's 1. An A&E tradition; and 2. It's going to be an extreme challenge.
The challenge this year isn't only the word count, but just making words happen at all. I'm not well, and have found both handwriting and typing very difficult in recent months. It's going to be really hard to do this - 1667 words/day for 30 days, creating still more of my now very long story that I started 4 years ago, but I am determined to try. Giving up is not an option unless I literally cannot write or type.
I wish Zkribbler was still with us, because he tried to help me when I got stuck on some things. If only I'd finally figured out Count "Chocula's" (a really dumb placeholder name for a character whose name I just couldn't decide on) actual name while I could still tell him. Alas, it's not one of Zkribbler's suggestions, but I appreciated every single one he offered.
Anyone else doing NaNo or who wants more information, feel free to post.
Day 1 word count: 1710
