Q: Can I write one word 50,000 times?

A: No. Well… No.

My favorite part of the NaNoWriMo FAQ. What I love about this is that it obliterates the pointless pedantic argument over what constitutes a “novel” without ever engaging it. A wordier answer might have left room for “Well, how about if I write the same sentence 5,000 times? That’s still technically a novel ha ha!” But these three syllables, somehow, are the equivalent of a stern “You know what we mean. Grow up” pronounced with finality yet without disrespect. Genius.
