Does this count for NanoEdMo?

So months ago, I planned to be editing my first novel for NaNoEdMo this month, but unfortunately, the novel requires a bit of a rewrite.

So does that count?

According to NaNoEdMo.net, the site sponsoring EdMo, it does not.
So unfortunately I will not be participating, at least not until I have something to edit. I plan to use the last half of March for writing as I will be out of school and unemployed. Hopefully by April I will have re-written my novel so that I can edit it.

So penny...you may have to wait until May to read something from me, but we'll see.
