From NaNoEdMo.org:

What counts as an hour?
For the purpose of this event, an hour is any amount of time spent making actual edits. Clacking out words on the keyboard, crossing out things on the page, writing new words in the margins... Big structural thinking is more pre-prep. Besides, if I clocked every moment I spent thinking about my novel, I'd finish the 50 hours in just over 2 days. But actually working on it? That's another story altogether. And that's what NaNoEdMo is all about.

OK, well, that's more than what I remembered. I was going to say that for my purposes, "edit hours" would be not just time spent typing up the new draft, but also time spent slogging through the first draft print out, writing up and shuffling around scene cards, & etc. But it looks like NaNoEdMo has that covered. Oh good.

So, yes, I'm going to try for that 50 hours in a month thing. The month will be December. Ish. I'm actually attempting to get through one cycle by Jan 5, as outlined previously. (I think I need some sort of place to display that goal, prominently, on this blog somewhere. But I think I need to think about that later, and write now.)
