Edeyn I have signed up and won every year since 2004, including last year when I severely broke my arm on November 6th! I finished my novel on day 1 last year, so just had to wait for verification to open up. 50,000 words -- depending on how it's formatted, is anywhere from about 115 pages to 200 pages if you stretch it... but it really is much less than what it sounds like, folks! Don't be daunted by the wordcount. One screen of typed text is about 500 words. So, approximately 100 screens. That's really not a lot!
My wordcounts and stories through { NaNoWriMo } for the curious...

While there has been some TG content in all of my NaNo projects, this year will be the first time that I have a major character that's OPENLY transgender.

I am also known amongst Wrimos as The Lexivorous Word Witch since my 2007 project, and I've been an ML (Municipal Liason) for United States::Missouri::Elsewhere, United States::Missouri::Kansas City, United States::Michigan::Elsewhere, Australia::Victoria::Melbourne, and this year I will be ML for United States::Arkansas::Hot Springs & Little Rock.

Good luck to all who are going to jump in -- If I can do 1.5 Million words in 25 days, you can do 50 Thousand in 30! That's only 1,667 words per day for 29 days, and only 1,657 on day 30!

My username on the NaNoWriMo website and Forums is delayra if you want to look me up there!

We can arrange Word Wars and have fun with this!

Wasn't it Jim Henson who said, "Without faith, I am nothing," after all? No, wait, that was God... Sorry, common mistake to make...
