NaNoWriMo anyone?

[puuush]

It's horrible. I might work overhours today but all I can think about is WRITING MY NOVEL! (I'll be up late I guess.)

Keep up the good words, everyone.

[Enolaalone]

Agh, I didn't have a lot of time on Sunday in the end, so now I'm quite far behind. Hopefully I can catch up at some point this week. I've written over 2,000 words today so that helps.

[Katika]

Well, I missed reaching my 10k by the end of Sunday goal.  Oops.   And then, my husband and I spent the entire day running around "the big city" (we live very rural...) and I've managed *maybe* 100 words.  Maybe.

The good news?  Tonight's the midnight release of Halo 4, so husband's going to be dashing out of here, giving me some late night quiet time to do some word sprints!

*Edit* First 15 minute sprint of the evening gave me 859 words!  Going to aim on three more sprints before bed tonight to give myself a full, solid hour of writing today   I'll also add that my sprints are pushing me a bit out of my normal comfort zone and I'm attempting to type them.  Not sure if I am physically able to hand-write 850 words in 15 minutes!

I didn't write yesterday, but I did get a huge amount of stuff done on my house (I'm also doing a complete overhaul of my house, sorting and cleaning and organizing, which is *probably* not the best timing, but that's how it worked out.) so yay for that!

I'm gonna go now and see if I can squeeze some words in before bed.

P.S. I always decide beforehand that I'm going to write as badly as possible for the first draft. It really takes the pressure off. 

[Katika]

My sprints officially put me past 10k last night, but it resulted in me over sleeping this morning.  Oopsies!  I think that most of today's efforts are going to be spent working on custom ponies, though.  I'll aim for my 1667 for the day (and if I get more done, that's great, too!) but don't really feel the need to push myself.  We'll see, though.  My writing habits have been kinda screwy so far this year.

[Enolaalone]

I think if there's one thing that can be said for NaNo it's that it's encouraged me to write every day and whenever I get the chance. So far I've written on the train, in my boyfriend's living room, outside, in Starbucks, in work and finally and most normally in my house. It's pretty crazy. 

[Katika]

Oh, it certainly does!  My first NaNo, I even wrote while on my horse!  Four years ago, I NaNo'ed while waiting to vote (didn't have to do it this year, due to getting an absentee ballot).  I've written on a board resting on the tubs walls while I was taking a bubble bath, I've written in my husband's office, in the car as a passenger, (blips of a story) in the car while being the driver (NOTE: it's usually when I get like a brief phrase that I can't risk forgetting - I don't actually *write* while driving), and while waiting for appointments.  I think the best thing that NaNo has taught me over the years is to ALWAYS carry something to write on and something to write with.  Always.

Ugh. My extension cable fizzled out yesterday, so I was left with a laptop and no copy of my novel. I had to start on a later chapter on my laptop and transfer it over. I can't help but feel as though I may have fallen a little behind, as I'm not sure if there are any plotholes in what I wrote. I guess I can come back to that in December, or when I've finished the main bulk of the story.

[Enolaalone]

Sora - I'm pretty convinced there's a hole where my plot ought to be, but I am not thinking about that until December  You just have to keep moving forwards and try not to worry about it imo.

[Sora]

Yep, you're right. Those kinds of things can be perfected next month! 

And wow, I somehow passed 12k! Wasn't expecting that with all the interruptions I've had, honestly.

[terabithianprince]

I'm so behind and the plot seems to be going nowhere lol but at least I wrote 7000 I've not written that much in awhile.

[Yurusumaji]

I decided to join today, just for the heck of it. I have some catching up to do, but it's not like I'll be leaving my house this weekend anyway. Ha ha!

Yay! Good luck! If you have plenty of time on your hands I'm sure you could catch up quite easily

[Water_Fire]

Oooh, I only just found this thread! I'm doing NaNo too, it'll be my third year now! I won my first year and failed my second, so hopefully I'll do better this time around :S

I added the guys who posted their usernames here already, I hope that's ok. My name's Voni on the site. Add me!

[Enolaalone]

Awesome! Yes, feel free to add me!  You're doing really well, I am still behind although I finally broke 10,000 words!
