NaNoWriMo

[Skgoa]

So, who here is participating in NaNoWriMo? For me, it's going to be the fourth time. And this time I am going to win, goddamit!
We already had our first local meet-up and the kick-off on monday might have to be held in my flat. Starbucks, as it turns out, isn't the best place to hold conversations.

Barring last minute derailing, I will be participating.

This will be my seventh time, with four successful years.

[Lord_Of_Change 9]

I am.

This will be my very first time...

[Skgoa]

Damn, my story went and changed it's genre behind my back. It's going to be outright fantasy, instead of altered history. Couldn't explain the dragons, otherwise.

If I ever have a nice, clear November, I probably will. I've learned over the past year and a half that I can turn out prose at 1700 words a day or so, but only when the muses are kind and/or I don't have anything pressing to do.

[Skgoa]

Yeah, my last three attempts were killed by my real life, too. But I am still trying. The social aspect is the most important part, for me.

[Skgoa]

So, it's day 2 and I am at 6789 words. That's only a few short of November 4th word goal, I guess it's obvious why I am taking a break here.

[Rogue 9]

I've never done National Novel Writing Month entirely, but I try to churn out a couple of chapters in my ongoing stories in honor of the occasion anyway.

[Skgoa]

8534 reached, more than in any NaNo before. I think you guys would like my story. It has dragons. And airships. And pirates. They are airship pirates, too!

[UCBooties]

I have started today, because I love a challenge. (Not true, I'm just lazy)

Where can I find the day to day word count goal so I can see how far behind I am falling?

[Skgoa]

look on your stats. if you are projected to finish after november 30th, you are behind.

[Silver Jedi]

This year will be my third attempt, the first serious one. The previous two times I just kinda sat down and started vomiting words onto the page, which predictably didn't last 30 days.

[Skgoa]

I reached 10k!

[UCBooties]

I reached 10k!

Congrats! I just hit 10k as well. Not bad for starting 2 days behind.

I have considered participating but backed off because of much work this semester. However, since English isn't my mother tounge: do you have to write in English or is it also possible to participate in another language? If so, i'll give it a shot next year.

[drakensis]

As I'm back to work today, I suspect my rate of writing will drop off abruptly.
Still, 36k is a good start.

You don't have to do anything. It's supposed to be a fun way to get you to write.

[Skgoa]

I am at 20k, but it's getting harder. I have written the end, now I only have to to add in the second halve of the second act and the first halve of the third act. I am still 2 days ahead of the word goal, so no worries in that regard.

[drakensis]

Very very close to 42k. Finished the first act.

...shit, this story is going to be longer than 50k. I guess that gives me more than a month to reach the end though.

[Skgoa]

congratz! I am at 22k. I didn't have the will to write yesterday, because my best friend was sad and I was very worried about what might have happened. As it turns out, she just had been treated badly by her boyfriend's best friend.

[drakensis]

And that's 50k.

Sined, Seeled and Delivered.
