The NaNo Spring Break Challenge
Every year I see people try and write the full 50,000 in the first week of NaNoWriMo and I have always wanted to do it but I was afraid.

I am still afraid, but I this time it's different because I have more time. I have time to write because it's spring break.

My goal is to write a full 50,000 words in 7 days (March 25th - March 31st). That's 7143 words a day.

Who wants to be crazy and do this with me!?

I would, but I still have classes during that week... And the associated workload.

As of right now, I have 2 more weeks of classes, then the mid-semester break of 2 weeks.

Silly Australian calendar.

Hmmm.

The idea is, of course, intriguing but I'm not sure if I could participate.School work is trying to kill me, and my spring break only starts the week after, on April 2nd.

It's an intriguing thought though, and I wish you good luck with our NaNo in one week goal

Hmmm... Toying with the idea... I'll have to do a LOT of Spanish in the other two days of break (the second weekend), but I might try. We'll see.
