Look in the Inkwell!

The best person to ask would be TNO on Inkwell.

I LOVE NaNoWriMo!!!!!:D:D:D

Hiya! I'm "TNO from Inkwell", and, originally, from MuseBlog, where the whole NaNo craze is a big yearly event thing that, like, everybody does. 

NaNoWriMo, as you probably know if you've already signed up, is short for National Novel Writing Month, in which a bunch of crazy people attempt to write 50,000 words (or more, or less) in the thirty days during November. The madness starts at 12:01 on November 1, and ends at 11:59 on November 31st. 

Anyways, it's a nice little event that goes off the theory that lots of people want to write a novel, but lack the motivation. Deadlines = motivation. Thus, thirty days for a short novel.

For the 50,000 word goal you need a mere 1667 words per day. That's like, three or four pages, depending on things like font, spacing, font size, word processor, etc.

Basically, you write in your preferred word processor (e.g. microsoft word or Pages). Every day, or whenever's convenient, you go onto the NaNo site, log in, and you see a small textbox next to a button saying "update." type in your word count, just numbers, and click said update button. Alternatively, after Nov. 25 a new option opens under the "edit novel info" page under the menu item My NaNoWriMo. You copy and paste your entire novel into the correct text box in this page (it'll have instructions). The NaNo counting bot thing counts it all up and gives you an official count. If you're over 50,000 words, you get a "winner" icon on your progress bar and a link to a shiny new certificate, and also a free print proof copy of your NaNo.

Print proof copy = basically just a paperback copy of your novel, in this case provided free of charge (I think they cover shipping to) from an independent publishing company affiliated with NaNoWriMo.

Hope this helps. :D
