i tried it on, and oddly enough, it's not "me"...

[Madame-Aiko]

Haha, I can understand that. Also, how do you get event currency? I see things in the shop but I'm not sure on how to get that pink looking thing.

[trystan830]

i replied on your profile, as not to get too crazy off the NaNo topic! =)

[Madame-Aiko]

So for NanoWriMo, are there any requirements? Rules? Etc.?

[trystan830]

really, just that you write 50,000 words of a novel in november. =)

[Madame-Aiko]

Looks like I have to wait until next year then, huh? X'D Oh gosh. Well it gives me lots of time to think on what I want to write I guess.

[trystan830]

well, you can write the novel anytime, really. but to keep track of it on the NaNo site, it does have to be written in november.

also the NaNo site has "winner perks" for those of us who "win" - that is, write 50,000 words or more.

[Madame-Aiko]

Like what kind of perks? :)

[trystan830]

the first year i did it (2011) one of the perks was if you signed up with one of their associate websites (i think that's the right word?) you could get 5 copies of your book printed as a trade paperback for free - all you had to do was pay the shipping. =)

[Madame-Aiko]

That's awesome! How much was their shipping?

[trystan830]

it is! it was like $5 or something.... i think.

[Madame-Aiko]

That's a pretty decent price. *u* Also, another question, can you go over the word limit?

[trystan830]

agreed.

oh yes, all you need is 50,000 words at the very minimum. last month's novel was 53,585 words. 2013, i wrote 53,500 words. 2012 i only wrote 51,151 words. but my best one so far was my first, in 2011... it was 65,020 words!

you don't have to finish your story, just write 50,000 words. however, i've always finished my stories.

[Madame-Aiko]

I like to finish things. XD If I leave them hanging it doesn't just bug the readers, but me as well.

[trystan830]

oh yes, i know what you mean!
