The ultimate prize is indeed the book.<br /><br />Personally, I like all the hokum connected to NaNo -- the deadline, web badges, word count meters, etc. -- but I can also see how that wouldn't hold much appeal for some folks.<br /><br />I guess I have a certain affection for NaNo since it motivated me to finally get off my butt and write a novel.<br /><br />Each year that I've done it, I've grooved on the nervous excitement of communal deadline beating. That's the part I'll miss the most.Roger Eschbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588775352918614245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188490281217241971.post-75986303433846611312011-11-04T06:15:27.758-07:002011-11-04T06:15:27.758-07:00I had planned to write another novel-in-a-month re...I had planned to write another novel-in-a-month regardless of NaNoWriMo. For a while, it looked like I was going to be doing this around November, in which case I might have participated in NaNoWriMo anyway... but as it turns out I'm probably not going to have a chance to start on it until mid- to late-November. And that's fine. I'm still going to do it, but on MY schedule.<br /><br />For me, the point is not to wait anxiously at the starting line, begin writing on November 1st, and finish on November 30th; the point is simply to write that book in 4-5 weeks. I don't need NaNoWriMo's encouragement or prizes for that. The prize is a finished book. :-)Keith Robinsonhttp://www.unearthlytales.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188490281217241971.post-44338403723440196682011-11-02T23:32:00.840-07:002011-11-02T23:32:00.840-07:00Thanks, Chris!Thanks, Chris!Roger Eschbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588775352918614245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188490281217241971.post-1037365317339295822011-11-02T17:24:34.408-07:002011-11-02T17:24:34.408-07:00Yeah, it really is a whole lot of fun.
