I didn't realize I wrote 50,000 "pages" rather than "words." Yeah, 50,000 pages would really be a feat. It would be the equivalent of writing almost 2 War and Peace novels each day. But even 50,000 <i>words</i> is a lot. If I post 30 blog posts with 1,000 words each, that would be a heck of an achievement, in opinion. Half that is more achievable.

But the first paragraph says 50,000 PAGES. This typo is what Dan was commenting on. Aimee – 50,000 words could easily be accomplished in one month. But the first paragraph says 50,000 PAGES.

There has been many people that have accomplished writing 50,000 words. It doesn't taken inspiration, or rthe perfect plot. It's all about goals and determination. You should try it. You might suprise yourself. The book, Water for Elephants, was a nanowrimo novel, written by Sara Gruen. There has been many people that have accomplished writing 50,000 words.

It would be interesting to participate in this event, just to see what kinds of ideas could be generated from writing freely for a month.
