One hour and fifty minutes to go until it starts~~ Gonna try for the 1667 word count for the day before I sleep

Woah! Dedication!

I'm going to sleep and then write on a fresh brain tomorrow. Or something. >.>

Lolnah. Just insomnia. I don't usually sleep untl 3 or 4 anyway. Might as well do something.

XD I know for sure anything I wrote between the hours of midnight and three-four am would be sugar honey iced tea. sugar honey iced tea that I would want to burn and never look at again.

On the other hand, this is Nano...
/has chocolate to stay awake.

By Rikki-Leigh. 31/10/10, 03:04 pm

Exactly.

NaNo doesn't have to make sense. Just get the word count. XD

I've decided to go ahead with this. Going to be writing a zombie apocalypse novel, but I won't be focusing on the word count, but rather, quality.

By Thornback. 31/10/10, 03:14 pm

^but the word count is the thing, you know.

By **Riven_**. 31/10/10, 03:28 pm

Oh also! My username is CresentOne on the NaNo site. Feel free to add me as a writing buddy!

Knowing people are watching my total helps keep me motivated.

Urk. Whoops. CrescentOne not Crescentness.

Oh I weep for this novel. DX

By Rikki-Leigh. 31/10/10, 03:48 pm

XD I was wondering...

Aww *hugs* XD

I am taking part, and it will be my first time doing it. Kind of excited and kind of nervous. Unfortuantly, I can't start on it until the 9th because of exams D: but I'm sure I can churn out a few thousand words immediately afterwards. I'm good at beginnings! it's just the MIDDLE I get stuck on ._.

By Rikki-Leigh. 31/10/10, 05:17 pm

LOLEXAMS. >>;;;;

Well, I've already got 1k =D

By Bedemmy. 31/10/10, 05:33 pm

I've done 1750 words already.

AkiShinji fic <3

By **Riven_**. 31/10/10, 05:35 pm

1200ish, and I'm going to bed because I just rewrote that last sentence five times and each time I made the same spelling mistake. :/

WHY DO I HAVE A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS ALREADY?

By Rikki-Leigh. 31/10/10, 06:07 pm

The problem with the site is that it won't let you update your word count until the US hits Nov 1st >>

**Guest** Guest

1200 words this morning before work!
It's incomprehensible, because I use Write or Die with backspace deactivated, so I'm gonna go tidy it up a little. Not editing, just making sure I can re-read it later Very Happy

ETA: Nano's website is now taking updates! But it's going slow as a DOG this morning. I'm not surprised.

By hyolee123. 31/10/10, 11:38 pm

1144words. I write really strangely~

Ooh I can't wait to write more after school~

By Rikki-Leigh. 31/10/10, 11:40 pm

Yay for wordcounts~~~~

I'm gonna be spending my free period writing I think.

By mystix-candy. 01/11/10, 12:24 am

I'm afraid I won't be able to finish if I start due to exams and studying..
but it's better than not trying at all > <
I'll just write twice as hard on days I don't have exams or work! <3
good luck everyone > <

- But that means that we get a extra day while the Americans get one day less, right ? :/

People stay up to start at Midnight Very Happy

You can start as soon as it's Novemeber in your time zone, so we get an extra day at the front, but then America gets an extra day at the end. Coz you gotta stop as soon as it stops being November.

and the delay in being able to update your count at the start doesn't really make much difference because you can't verify until the 25th anyway.

I started writing this morning, plus during lessons armed with a pen and paper 8D

The problem with the writing thing on my laptop is that it doesn't do word count... Aah well! Time to download Word 8D

By hyolee123. 01/11/10, 08:40 am

Axelinn what program are you using? If it's open office word count is in tools 8D

my word count is currently 3439~

**Guest** Guest

A little over 2400 so far! So I'm a bit behind, but I had to plan a Larp, wash all of the dishes and bake a loaf of bread last night instead of writing.
This getting up at 6 to write is working out EXCELLENT.

Are we going to do the posting our novels-so-far thing?
