NaNoWriMo 2010 - The Reckoning

Unleash your creative writing skills here.

Postby LadyRushia » Mon Nov 01, 2010 4:49 pm

I reached my goal today. At the moment, I have 3,440 words, so I might stop soon and take care of some homework before I get back to writing.

On a side note, the NaNoWriMo site has been crashing all day. It's kind of insane, XD.

I was going to try to follow that schedule but I really don't think I'll be able to pull it off.

Happy November First, everyone! I have done the 3346 of today for that schedule... or rather, I'm almost finished with it.

Yeah, the site is being obnoxious.

I've reached my goal, but not by much...Really, I would have smashed this if I wrote like I did last year. Twenty days, people!

I'm out for now at 4,245 words. It's homework time and after that I might attempt to hit 5,000 before midnight.

Oh NanoWrimo site...you never have been able to handle the enormous amount of traffic you get each year. I'm nearing 2000 words. I'm hoping to get to around 3000 by the end of the night. If I don't, I'm still off to a pretty good start all things considered.

Probably...I seem to remember it being this finicky each year I've done it.

I am already off to a slow start... curse you writer's block in the first paragraph! The first page is always the hardest for me. I just need to power through!

Hey guys, this tool:

helped me out a lot last year. I probably wouldn't have made it to 50k without it. I wish you all the best of luck.

So I'm actually rolling along pretty well... less than 8,000 words from the end of the first part of the story, and midway through the whole crazy disaster that is the first part of the story.

5,310 total so far and 1,065 just today. That's not a lot, but I should be able to write more after class tonight. This chapter I'm writing now is gonna be somewhat long, so that should help.

Gah, slow day today. It's so annoying that I have to work in the same room the TV is in. >:/

Okay, thanks. I'll make a note to try to submit my final 50,000 a day or two before the deadline.

6,439 total for November 2nd. I don't have classes tomorrow, so I'm hoping to at least pass 8,000. Ideally, I should be getting over 9,000, but we'll see what happens.

Had a friend over for movies last night, so I didn't meet yesterday's quota, and today's not looking good either since I was sick for half of it and I think my husband wants to hang out with me now that he's home...

I'm not doing bad at all. I'm hoping to crank out several thousand words this weekend. My problem is the lack of ideas. I burned most of them out last year! But since I have nothing to do after school but homework, and even then, it's rare, I just sit in my room and write.

Aw crap! I totally didn't add in my word total for the past two days on the actual site....oops. xD

Ah well, I just hit 15k. I think I'm done for the night, or thereabouts. My hands are killing me from assignments on top of so much written in three days... >.<

9,691 total for today. I wrote over 3,000 words and I still have a bit left of the padding I got on the first day. When I pass 10k tomorrow, I'll post all these new chapters on my blog and DA.

I just added a Widget to the right bottom corner of my sig. Word Count will be updated (hopefully) with every passing thousand words, as well as keeping track of my percentage and days left. ^^

I'm really enjoying this. It's great stress relief in the midst of all this homework! ;D

Toasted all my new chapters on my blog and on DA.

http://taylorramage.blogspot.com/p/creative-writing-and-analyses.html

Scroll down a bit until you see them.

Also, I only wrote 1,141 words today, but that's because I was busy. At least I have the whole weekend ahead of me.
