Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year? I had intended to do it last year but well RL didn't permit it, may try this November.

I'm going to do NaNoWriMo this year. But that's a long way away. I'm currently doing JulNoWriMo, and next month it's on to AugNoWriMo.
It's not such a crazy goal. You have to do 1667 words per day to keep up. According to author Laurence Block, the normal working writer does about 5 pages a day, which is about 1430 words a day, and some writers do double that.
Of course, it is crazy to expect ME to keep up with that pace.....
I've found doing WriMos is helpful to encourage me in good working habits as a writer, but I'm sure there are writers who would not find it helpful.
