NPI – The Tally 10 Days in

Posted: under writing.
Tags: 5-Rings, book, Nick Enlowe, novel, Novel Push Initiative, NPI, write, writer, writing

Welcome to the March 2010 Novel Push Initiative!

(It’s actually 11 days in but shhh….)

Very interesting outcome for the first 10 days. A lot of the veterans aren’t doing so hot while the newcomers are carving us a new one. There’s some serious writing going on here. People are hitting personal milestones left and right. In fact, I think we might have a lot of records set by the end of this month. We shall see!

  • The break-down:
  1. A “Knock-out” is 0-249 words. (After the Days of Reprieve are exhausted)
  2. An “Update” is 250-999 words.
  3. A  “Session” is 1,000-1,667 words.  (And earns you an extra Day of Reprieve)
  4. A “Tougher-than-NaNo” is anything greater than 1,667.
  5. A “THE END!” is when you’ve completed a WIP and type ‘THE END’.

  • Oh, the irony. Twitter is living proof that brevity is not necessarily the soul of wit. http://5-rings.com/blog/2010/07/brevity-vs-wit/ 2010/07/06
  • Just finished Robert Jordan's 'The Path of Daggers'; It was a slow read, but the last 100 pages were explosive. On to 'Winter's Heart'! 2010/07/03
