Here are my thoughts.... I have not succeeded in writing 2,000 words per day for more than one day in past years. My PR is 3.3k+. Being in college now, I can only assume it will be enormously more difficult to get in even the minimum 1,667 words per day in the midst of exams, papers, and maintaining a social life. There are two solutions:
1. Vow to actually work hard every day to at least complete the minimum and hopefully reach 25k by the end of the month, or
2. Start early.
This year, I will begin writing a 50k novel on October 1st. I will write a minimum of 1k words per day throughout October and November, pretty much guaranteeing at least some success. Basically, even if I skip a few days, it will be enormously easier to make up what I have lost. Also, I am not stretching it over too much time so there will still be the whole time constraint element that NaNo imposes.
I already have the essentials of my story set up. Character list may come soon!
