Oh-kay... let's see if this works:



...I'm wondering why I'm DOING this, but it should be fun. Ah well.

You don't know me, but good luck. ^__^ NaNoWriMo is death and love all at the same time.

I'm going to put my best foot forward. xD I'm actually in the middle of moving so we'll see how this works out, what with me going to have very limited net/computer access. :S May have to hand write it and then hope I have enough time to type it in for the final count. I thought about doing it the last two years, but this is the first year I've actually considered.

If you check out the NaNoWriMo forums, there are whole threads on how to do the wordcount thing if you're handwriting your novel. (Basically, they all boil down to more-or-less technological ways to, er, fudge things.) You can do it just by counting the word count on several pages, averaging them, multiplying by the number of pages you've got, and then entering the total in the 'unverified honor system wordcount' thingy.
