Whoops

I've been writing a novel, does that count?

Why not sign up then? There's a website that will track your word count, and where you can meet other writers near you, and get feedback as well! Just Google nanowrimo and it'll come up.

I've been working on it for almost 2 years now

I've been working on mine for 5 years. Still nowhere near done, but hopefully this will push me to work on it more.

Mine's nearly half done

1700 words per day honestly doesn't sound like much at all... that's like 4-5 pages a day if you don't double space.

Yeah that's a lot of content to make. Imagine doing a full essay each day.

That's not a lot, especially if you can map it out before. It might get exhaustive if you have nothing you want to write, but if you are writing a novel, where you presumably have enough material, the problem isn't about how much you are writing, it's just the organization. If you are on a hot streak, 30 pages/day isn't crazy. I've had a few days of hitting 35+ pages in a day. Those 30 page days need another day of proof-reading and some fine-tuning, but that can come after.

It's a lot if you're working full time and have other responsibilities on top of that. I only wrote about 860 words last night, but I also only had about 3 hours to do so.

If you start the day the challenge begins than this is humongous. If you have planned out a story prior sure it's not as bad but still.

oh yeah, if you have other stuff to do of course it's much harder. Those 30 pages/day I'm talking about I had literally nothing to do and had a framework already written.

What’s the age limit? I wanna try!

I don't know if there is one
