NaNo peeps check in plz

So, I've been playing catch-up all weekend. Right around 46K right now so I think I can finish it up, although 50K words won't be the whole story. Anybody else still writing? Finished? 

A new story idea is already creeping into my head which is getting kind of annoying and distracting! 

Re: NaNo peeps check in plz

  • I know someone (who I'm sure will be checking in any time now) who finished with FIVE FREAKIN' DAYS to spare.

  • I saw that too and was duly impressed!! That someone gets a big hat tip from me.
  • Ha! Yes, I finished a few days early, but in my defense, my BFF finished I think on the 20th of 21st so I felt behind her all month! Her word counts definitely motivated me to write fast.

    We should do a round-up post at the end of the month and report how our novels turned out! 

  • Ugh I don't know if I'm going to make it.

    I had houseguests for like eight of my NaNo days plus a YTT weekend mixed in and I'm severely behind. I'm going to try, but I think I'll be really bummed if I fail!!!

    Congrats Smocky and Interro I'm sure you'll finish with time to spare!

  • Good idea Smock! Let's do a post like that. I think it's awesome you finished ahead of time! And that's amazing that your friend finished so early! 

    BBE, you can do it! How many words do you have left to go? November is such an awkward month to take on a huge project. 


  • I sucked it up. I still want to finish, but I haven't even looked at it for a week :(
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I haven't updated on the site yet, but I'm at 43,887 words. I have no idea if it's coherent or not.

    I don't even want to tell you. Over 10k.  :/

  • Okay, dumb NaNo question.

    My sis just posted on FB that she was a NaNo "winner." What does that mean?

    It means she wrote a 50,000 word novel this month. Go congratulate her! :)

    Rockstar.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • I had to choose to do either school or NaNo. I chose school. I think I'm going to do my own version. A DecNoWriMo if you will.
  • I finished yesterday. Well, I "won" yesterday, but my story isn't done yet. I'm taking a few days off before I go back to writing on it.
