So it’s NAtional NOvel WRIting MOnth … 60,000 (!!!) participants this year, typing away, trying to write a novel in a month! Wow.
Firstly, lets bask in the glory of such a wonderful project, getting 60,000 people to at least try to write a novel in a month.
Then, let’s consider how many books could be recorded by LibriVox with 5% of the nanowrimo volunteers? well, if all goes according to plan, our current slate of 79 volunteers will record 30 books in 4 months, roughly.
So, doing some rough & dirty calcs, with 5% of 60,000, or 3,000 volunteers, we could get … 3,375 books done in a year.
That’s 3,375…
