Well, I wrote 782 words of a speech tonight. I'm not counting it towards NaNo - it's got nothing to do with my novel, and it's not like I'm even close to 50k...
You could be a nano rebel Archer! There is a whole area of the nano forums for rebels so it must be OK. There are people who even do memoirs. Think the point mainly us to write.
I wasn't sure if I would win, but I wrote something like 8k or 9k in the last 24 hours, and finished (got to 50,000 and change) 15 minutes before midnight. I even kinda sorta ended the story, which is a big plus. Maybe I should add one of those winner banners to my sig. I do have story details and whatnot in my sig link.
I'm happy with my 15k. The way I look at it is that even though this is my 3rd NaNo and first fail, it's also the busiest I've ever been during NaNo.
After I wrote my first novel, I landed a telemarketing job. For the 6 months I was there, I didn't write a single word... And now during a job with comparable amounts of busyness and stress, I've written 15k in one month.
Congratulations everyone!! To beat a dead horse, you're that many more words into your story than you were a month ago. I didn't finish my story, so it's onward to DecNano ... and JanNano ... and FebNano...
