Actually, I don't expect commitment at all...I just wanted to see if there would be an interest in my story; if creating a special flist would be worthwhile. :)
It'll be months before I finish it, so I'm sure that people's availability/opinions will change in that time. But if no one was interested at all, then I'd email it to the few who wanted to read it months ago and leave it off of my LJ.
I liked NaNo in that I learned a lot about myself as a writer. I'd never tried marathon writing before; usually, I creak out a novel as slowly as it takes. Also, this was the first time I'd ever worked with an outline; now I don't think I'll novel without one!
Next year, I probably won't do it, though, simply because my lifestyle and writing style make 50K in a month a piece of cake. I'm not trying to sound cocky in saying that, but I have several free hours a day to write, which is not true of most people, I suspect. And a thousand words per hour is average speed for me.
But a 10K-word day?? o.O I capped out at about seven, and that was for fanged_geranium's holiday gift "Return to Me"!
