NaNoWriMo anyone?

Well I'm averaging about 250 words a day, really, like 500 words every other day, but since I'm just trying to finish last year's novel, I'm OK with that rate. What's really the important part is that I'm writing regularly. If I can develop the habit of writing, even just a little, every day, I'd be really happy with the outcome of this month, no matter what my word count turns out to be.

I Love hearing about everyone's progress and I'm glad to know so many other writers.

True that, the regular writing is what's important. I lost all love for my fiction writing, since I have to contribute articles to three different websites on a weekly basis (!). It's helping me get back into the habit.

I didn't write one creative thing yesterday 

I sat down with my computer to do word sprints (I can't sprint on notebook paper - my fingers won't move fast enough to hand-write words), and ended up playing solitaire until I fell asleep...

My goal is to make up for yesterday today and sprint between loads of laundry and finishing custom pony heads   Keep going, everyone!!!

[Enolaalone]

I wrote over 3,000 words yesterday and had myself completely caught up. Now I am exhausted and I don't have the energy to keep going. Motivate me please!

Today's my first "big scary test" of November this year - I'm going to visit my parents for four days!  This is likely going to involve heavy amounts of shopping done by me and my mom.  Add to that, I'm bringing seven (I think) ponies that need to be rehaired, as well.  I don't know if I'll have any spare time while I'm there, but if I do, I'm going to be busy!  I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to work in a few sprints while I'm there.  I'm sitting on just over 14k words today, and I'm hoping to be somewhere between 22 and 25k by the time I get back home.  Keeping my fingers crossed for that one!

[Enolaalone]

Good luck Katika! I am still feeling wiped out after yesterday. I've squeezed out about 600 words today, not sure if I'll manage any more...

[Sora]

Aie, I fell behind I was so tired from work yesterday, and now it looks as though I need to catch up!

[DreamLight]

Finally started typing. I have a pretty empty 3 day weekend so hopefully I can catch up and make up what i'm going to miss next week during my productions.

[Water_Fire]

Gaaaah, falling behind! I was so tired yesterday after work I got nothing written, and today I've only managed a few hundred words. Won't get any more done either because I've got friends coming over this evening. Why did I think this was a good idea?!

[ApertureScience]

I'm way behind, no thanks to college.  Maybe this wasn't the best year to sign up.  I'm definitely not going to win this year, but I'll probably continue the story after the event and post it somewhere.

[Sora]

I'm nearly at the halfway mark! So far, the novel is falling into place perfectly too, which is a pleasant surprise

[Enolaalone]

I hope everyone is doing okay! remember, just keep going forwards and don't press the backspace!

Never mind my raging jealousy, Sora, that's fantastic! I'm really happy for you. That's a great feeling.

I haven't written anything for several days, but I have gotten 400 words today, and will probably do a few more 15 sprints before bed. At least one. Even though I know some of what I've written is pure rubbish, the idea is there, and I can fix the bad words later. I just have to keep reminding myself of that and not fling my computer across the room because it's so terrible. (Also, I'm going to do a search when I'm done for just how many times I've used the word "just" and "so." I'm taking bets it's more than 1000 each. lol)

[Enolaalone]

LeighAnn - I think I will have a similar problem! My characters have not stopped sighing since I started writing about them! I bet about 1,000 of my final 50,000 will be a variation on the word sighed.

[LeighAnnApanites]

Enola,  I've had that problem before. Not this story, but I've had some where I don't know how the pages didn't blow away from all the sighing. And head shaking.
