<p class="MsoNormal">9 days? That’s impressive. For how many
words? Hubby’s record was 14 days for his NaNo 50K words, I
think, but then there was a ton of editing. I beta read, but my
sister acts as ruthless editor, and they have some grand battles
when she comes to visit. Serves them both right – she got him to
sign up for NaNo the first time during a Scotch-fueled Saturday
evening debate over something or other. I, OTOH, was drinking
cognac and stayed out of it <span

<p>Probably about 40k words, and that 9 days included Peggy's
editing and retyping. That book just flew. I did my part in about
4 days. I'd come out of my study with my mind still back in my
fictional world. Peggy knew I was basically useless for about the
next hour. I was known to break the type-bars on Smith Corona
Portables. <br>
