Do NaNoWriMo

I’m signing up for it again! Decided last night!

Here we go…and good luck everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How’s the team doing?

It’s day three, and of course I’m in deficit (word count: 1868) But I’m getting the hang of it better this year than I did last. No editing, no checking, and trying to leave goblins of self-criticism at the door.

What to write, what to write?! I would like to have a mental outline prior to the November 1. From my experience last year, it really helps. That way, you just write, don’t waste time.

BUT this was one of the most worthwile projects I have done this year! Even though I didn’t get to the 50K goal, I wrote more in the month of november than i did in January-October! So I have to say this is worth doing, and if the AWESOME teammates are willing, I’ll see you here next year!

for the end…i’m only at 20,000 words, but i hope to plug away over the break. to all on the team, best of luck! thank you, everyone for the encouragement :)

i had no idea that this story would end up taking on such a life of it’s own. i’m 11,000 words in (still OH-SO-BEHIND!!), but haven’t even got to some of the things i wanted to include. plus, i’m HATING my own writing. Are people finding themselves surprised by what comes out of the pen, er…keyboard?

well, the deficit of 10,000 words with which i started the week is now down to 9,006! which means, i’m closing in on it. it’s encouraging…and maybe it means i’ll catch up!

working off a 7,000 word deficit this week. have to do some math to figure out how many extra words a day that means to catch up by the weekend….anybody have a formula for planning procrastination??

i am very far behind this one….only on my 1st day goal and it’s the 3rd day. Can I make a come from behind win on this week’s goal?? Help!

it’s really quite a rush…hope i can sustain it!
