Errol: Don’t worry, Jen. I have last-minute stress for you. Btw, that would be a hoot. What if we waited until the LAST day of NaNoWriMo to do 50k in a day? Hunh? Wow, that would be super stressful.
It is not messed up. The last few days are just not the same when you’re done. I’m getting a little of it this year though, because I want so badly to finish my novel, I know I can’t be lazy with my writing these last 3 days.
There are always a couple of people in the german NaNo forums who try to do 50k in one day, or at least in two days. A few of them pretty much wrote 48 hours straight and then said they saw dark spots and were shaking uncontrollably… Didn’t sound recommendable.
I’ve heard some people actually do that, and win!
I’ve only done it at the beginning of NaNo. I don’t know if I could do it at the end of nano! Stakes are higher!

I need to write today! ^_^
That does appear to be a pressing need.

Heh, @sushimustwrite does 50k a day on a yearly basis! I did it once and will never do it again. 😀
I think I’ll just opt for never ever doing it… I get totally pooped just writing 3k in a single day.
