It’s been quite a while since we’ve had an NPI. I wasn’t sure if there was any more interest in doing these, but Packsister recently ran her own personal NPI (where she kept going for 53 days straight!) and I’ve been asked to host another one.
This will be for the month of October, so it should be a good warm-up for the upcoming NaNoWriMo.
Participating in NPI means writing no less than 250 words per day. But I’d like to try something different. Custom NPI, where each one of you get to choose your own minimum word counts or page counts. Name your price, and I will personally enforce whatever you decide upon.
The default is 250 words per day. But if you’d like to hold yourself to a different standard, please let me know. 50 words per day? 1000? Half a page per day? Anything goes.
Oh, and this time, you start with 1 Day of Reprieve. If you write for 5 days in a row, you earn another Day of Reprieve. (I’m doing it this way because the old way caused some serious burnout.)
So, what do you folks think? If we need to tweak anything, now’s the time.

I’m thinking of just going for 250, but then again a slightly lower word count might be more manageable… Hm.

My personal price for all this time had been half a page, but I know I ended up writing between 1/3 a page and 3 pages, so I’ll name my price realistically this time: 1/3 a page. No idea how many words that makes, and frankly, I don’t care that much. But I definitely don’t want to stop NPI. I’ve taken a few days off after mine, but it’s time to get back in the saddle! Whoooo-hoooo!
Thanks for hosting it again!
