2,200 words and I am feeling pretty good about myself.. WOOT! Then I spend an hour trying to figure out where to upload it so I can see what their "robots" say my word count is, only to give up so I can go to bed since I have to drive to North Carolina tomorrow.. Less woot. Still over 2,200 words is good. Right? Oh and my account... www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/209484 |

Is anyone else attempting it, or is our dear Sprinkles the only one crazy enough?

I'm doing it! I was the one who bugged incessantly...I mean, persuaded Mona to do it. Ro, the trouble maker *evil grin* I've got 2,037 words currently, and I'm off to do my 2000 for today. Oh- I don't have an account link at hand, but my username there is completewithtypos feel free to look me up!  |

I decided to edit/finish my story from last year over the next month. I'm reading for the first time since last November...it's better than I thought, but I'd forgotten how much of my own life/feelings I'd put into it. hmmm...

LB, you are doing it too? that's awesome. I'm up to 3500. I wanted to get to 4000 tonight, but I'm much too tired. Word of advice, don't drive through Greensburu (or something like that), North Carolina if you can help it! |

Long car trip?  The worst. Yup, I'm doing the infamous NaNoWriMo  I think I'm up to about 5,000 as of tonight. I'm too lazy to properly find a word counter. |

I am up over 5000 today and maybe a bit more before I hit the hay. The city was just very confusing. lol But I'm beginning to think it is just the state. lol No offense to anyone from here. |

NC? No offense taken, lol.
Good luck with cranking out all those words...I tried 2,000 a day and it nearly killed me. Of course, I was making it up as I went along...have you been planning your story for a while? (The excerpt was fab, btw Mona)

I have only had a few hours each night to write and then it is when I should be sleeping. But luckily it's not work and the family is being really supportive of me. I had a general idea Min, but it's not really turning out like I thought it would. That's okay though. I am still having fun. The mother-in-law, Marie is starting to get annoying though. First she wanted her own romance and now she is demanding her own POV chapters. Good thing Jane and I love her so much. lol I made up a spreadsheet with 1,667 words a day as a goal. If I do just that, I will end up with 50,010 words at the end of 30 days. As of this moment I have 6,87 words, so I am ahead of my personal goal by a bit and pretty happy with what I have so far. This is actually a lot of fun. I've pretty much been in a writing high since the first, even tonight when I was having a bit of a block. It's neat to do somethng I enjoy this much, only now it's all mine. if you haven't done or aren't doing NaNoWriMo, you should try it sometime. It's quite the trip! |

I just wanted to share my excitement because jumping around the house screaming makes me look like i'm even more insane than I admit to being.... I WON!!!!!!! I failed so miserably last year, that I think it just doubles the excitement of winning this year!!!!!! 50,499 words!!!!!!! Except my novel is nowhere near done. Yeah. I'll work that... in about six months |
