In honor of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) the Cyberpunk Apocalypse constructed its own contest for the month of November: National Word Count Month (NaWoCoMo). All of us kept a record of how many words we wrote a day, with prizes (in the form of bragging rights and possibly a bumper sticker in the future) awarded to the person who wrote the most in a month as well as whomever had the highest word count in a single day.
Our visiting writer, Margaret Killjoy, won both awards by writing 44,568 words during the month of November (a rate of about 1486 words a day) and a high count of 6045 words on November 12, the day that Killjoy completed a novel.
the Cyberpunk Apocalypse is a writers' cooperative work & event space, residency program, and publication based out of Upper Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh PA

NaNoWriMo sounds a lot like RiBMo, the name of an urban commuter tire made by Panaracer. RiBMo stands for Ride Bike More.
