Everything becomes convoluted. In the first two days of Nano there were people who wrote almost a million words. And soon afterwards, there were a horde of people already with 50,000. I am a skeptical person, so I simply assume that these people "cheated"--as in putting word counts from previous work they've done or writing one word over and over 50,000 times, or as one person admitted somewhere, just to enter a high word count so they'll feel better.
Of course, afterwards, the people with 50,000 and over defended themselves by saying that they normally write that much in a day or that they planned really well or that they're professional writers with nothing else to do.
I hate it when people tell piddlers like myself that I have no discipline.
