Oh, yes. My main problem (right now) is deciding which of three or so ideas to use. 2000 words a day is nothing.

...I'm going to regret saying that, aren't I?

The writing there isn't to be about quality, just quantity.
2000 words a day is nothing.
That's exactly how I'm feeling. I'm all ready, charged up with nowhere to go but it's the first time I'm trying it, it'll probably be more difficult than I imagine.

I have a feeling the "2000 a day" initially SEEMS like nothing but after a few days makes you want to take your own life.
Who sleeps shall awake, greeting the shadows from the sun
Who sleeps shall awake, looking through the window of our lives
Waiting for the moment to arrive...
Show us the silence in the rise,
So that we may someday understand...

Nah. 2000 a day is nothing. If you know where you're going at the time, and have an idea that can substantiate it, 3000 or so takes about an hour to write.

The reason I'm not doing it is that in my experience my ideas tend towards ones that substantiate very short pieces of conceptual-fiction that verge on micro-fiction.

Plus the whole 'Not American' thing.

Actually it's international, just that when it was started it was more local. They say it saound better than IntNoWriMo.

I'm guessing he means the profile page, like this one.

Every time I see the "Waiting for Librarian" loading screen, I can't help but think "...ook?"

I wasn't going to do it, but I woke up inspired this morning. Plus I've had several people trying to convince me to do it for the past few months. The main problem will be the lack of an outline.

I made this program a while ago -> http://ra.orar.ro/etc/wrimoquota.exe

It's like a little clock that tells you how many words you should've written by now.
