The 'maybe' is me. If I was on holiday from work or something, I think I could probably do it fairly easily, but November is a full teaching month and I've got my PhD on the go as well. I know it's going to be difficult to get enough time to spend on the writing that I need to to make the 50,000. I WILL do it though. I rise well under the challenge of pressure That's what I keep telling myself. Imogen

50,000 words sounds doable -- golly cheeze whiz, it's not like I'll hand out homework that I'd have to grade, or anything like that which would take time away from my writing... (Grin!)
Actually, I said maybe on the poll just in case something happens to keep me from the goal...
I did my thousand word story today! Words were "Stuffy" "Excoriate" and "Phlegm"... (Finger at lips, pulling, "Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu...")

I got into quite a groove this spring and wrote 3000 words a day without an enormous effort. That was maybe two hours of writing a day. The hardest part of that writing was research. (I was writing lecture scripts for a new course I was teaching, so I had to research everything I wrote.) The second hardest part was figuring out how each lecture would break down. And I kept up that pace for four months with only a week's holiday! Right now, my biggest difficulty for NaNoWriMo is figuring out what to write. My mind keeps saying historical novel, my heart keeps saying fanfic and there's this little voice in the background reminding me that I've always wanted to write a mystery novel involving online multiplayer worlds. . . . Decisions, decisions, decisions! But, if I fail there will be no catsup for me. If I've got to eat crow, I'm going to cook it nicely and serve it with some wine, thank you very much!
