Well well well, 2/3rds of the way through the month, are we? I applaud you! 

For those that aren’t innit, think of all the words you could be writing by switching to NPI. And that’s not such a bad thing, is it? Like … free fish n’ chips or something. Only they’re not free, but they’re easy. As easy as standing up, some blokes might say. Or sitting down and typing, as it were. Others might even say ‘laid back’.

The break-down:

1. A “Knock-out” is 0-249 words. (After the three Days of Reprieve are exhausted!)
2. An “Update” is 250-999 words.
3. A “Session” is 1,000-1,667 words.
4. A “Tougher-than-NaNo” is anything greater than 1,667.
5. A “THE END!” is when you’ve completed your WIP and type ‘THE END’.

 THE CONSENSUS:

So many words gained, so many participants lost. 250 words doesn’t seem like much at first glance, but while the holidays swirl around us, 250 words a day, every day can be a more than formidable challenge.

I hope you don’t mind this tally was focused more on wordcounts and less on the commentary. Thank you to everyone that’s participated, I really do appreciate it; December’s been a crazy month, so maybe this NPI wasn’t so laid-back, after all.

If you don’t return until after New Year’s, have happy holidays! I hope you’re able to return for the next NPI in March.

And if you’re still in it, I’ll see you on the 31st with a bottle of champagne!
