All right. I'm in.
Dammit.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Thank ya!

Well, probably. But it would be an empty, fleeting pleasure...

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Yay, Liese!
Am, of course I want to be added to the filter.
I, unfortunately, haven't been able to get back into active LJing since the move, but I'd like to. I can't seem to get up the whatever it is I need to do it. Maybe this will be the incentive I need.

Thrive to spite them
I signed up for NaNoWriMo as well. I've never attempted anything like this so I've already accepted I'm going to write crap. Now my goal is to write 50,000 words of it.

How many words on a page?Cause I could picture pages more easily.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Depends entirely on your font and whether you're doublespacing or singlespacing or something weird. Let's say anywhere from 250-800.... which is why people use word count.
Take an average-looking page of your writing, formatted the way you usually do, and run it through your word processor's word count -- that'll give you a good enough idea to use for estimating.

Wow, there is a lot of variation...just trying to get a clearer picture. I've decided I'm going to use "Perfect" to start from, which I should probably call "Imperfect" but, you know.

Yep. Courier, for instance, is a gigantic font -- at 12 point, doublespaced, you'll get about 250 words on a page. Times runs closer to 300-350. Using something smaller and prettier but still fairly "standard" like Garamond, you can easily hit 400. Foofy script fonts tend to be absolutely tiny. And some people like to write singlespaced stuff, or triplespaced, or masochistally enjoy reading 8-point type, and so on. So, page count really isn't an accurate measure of anything.
