NaNoWriMo has a word count for each day which I think is something like 1,600 words over thirty days, so depending on how fast you write it can be as much as two hours or as little as thirty minutes. There&#39;s lots of good tips in Chris&#39; book, No Plot No Problem, which gives you advice on how to plan your NaNoWriMo.Hackpackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08532180889693141173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36929612.post-91919340615595645852010-03-11T03:19:23.498+11:002010-03-11T03:19:23.498+11:00I&#39;ve gotta ask...Which No. 1 bestseller?
