a)Post-Modernists are rip-off artists. They steal/borrow from anywhere they can, from other books, from movies, from advertisements, from boring philosophical tomes, from real life... It's the repurposing, rearranging, and reinventing that makes it art.
b)I need to fill 50,000 words.
c)It would not be out of place to fill many of those words with someone else's words, that is to say. This is probably outside the spirit of NaNo, but then again, I'm never sure I know what the spirit of NaNo is.

a)Post-Modernists are playful with the written page. They recognize that the novel is a structure full of conventions and they enjoy breaking those conventions.
b)My character is wrestling with the fact that she cannot stop talking without the story ending and consequently without her life ending. I want to work with this.
c)I need to fill 50,000 words.
d)I am going to have to figure out how to count meaningful blank space toward my wordcount.

Causing you to look at a work of art in a new context with new eyes is a true artistic endeavor.
I'm sorry it's such a pain to comment with OpenID. I'm going to investigate and try to figure out if there is a simpler way to comment.
