[...] for one writer’s take on Nano, visit Mur Lafferty’s blog, I Should Be Writing. Her Special #27, offered as a podcast discusses the pluses and pitfalls of Nano. addthis_url = [...]
Mur, you should commiserate with Tee Morris of the Survival Podcast for Writers. He’s having the same kind of troubles as you are… also with a Mac.
I’ll be winning Nanowrimo this year too! Fourth year. I won it all three previous times.
Thanks for a great show, Mur. I love the NaNoWriMo forums – before November. During November, I am only allowed there after I made the daily word count.

For the record, and I should’ve included this in my original e-mail, the 7020 words (finally got a proper count) I’d already done for the novel are NOT going to be included in the NaNoWriMo count, not even if it’s the last day, I’m more than 7000 words shy of the goal, and just slapping those on would put me over the top.
Basically, I’m using algebra to determine my NaNoWriMo count.
x – 7020 = Day One Word Count, and so on, with x being the word count at the of the day.
Thank you so much for this blog. I decided to stick with rule no. 1 and rule no. 2 of writing: butt in chair and I’m allowed to suck and ‘won’ Nanowrimo in the early hours of day 10. Now comes the really hard bit, sticking to it and actually finishing the story. But I can do it! I just need to stick to rule no. 1 and 2…

Wahahahaha. I won. Again. The fourth time in a row. And I’m going to finish it and then polish it.
I won NaNoWriMo with 50,027 words about four hours before it was over. It was my first year doing it and I’m definently going to be doing it again.
