I think it works out as 1,667 words per day. Quite manageable, if you're disciplined.
I think the idea is not necessarily to have a finished, publishable thing, but instead just to get people writing, being creative.
Provided you hit 50,000 words, you'll get a certificate to say you completed NaNoWriMo. You should also have something that may be very, very rough, but that with some more development work, hard editing and elbow-grease, makes a novel. In short, the goal is to get a skeleton structure for a more polished piece of work.
More than anything else, it's a kick up the bum for anyone who's ever wanted to write a novel. It's a promise of sorts, a commitment to writing.
If you really want to get published, the long road starts with NaNoWriMo.
(of course, there are other ways to make yourself write!) |
