Well, here we are the first day of my very first nano.
I have not written anything yet, and here I am procrastinating at the message boards. I tried to get on the message board at nanowrimo.com and it was really slow. I guess so many people on there right now.
I am going to start writing any minute now and get down at least 2000 words before I go to bed. (honest, I really am).
Allright, I will check in later.

Just started after a history paper. School night, so, unfortunately, see sig for the less-than-desired word count.

Well my word count for yesterday was 501.. I have not started writing today, because I just got home from work, and I have to bath my son. After that I will kick out some writing. I need to catch up.
The good news is that those 501 words only took me about 20 minutes, so if I can get some good steady writing time I can catch up and even exceed where I am supposed to be right now.
The easy part is that I am writing a nonsense dares novel, so I can pretty much throw in some random ass scenes as my MC's follow the plot.

Hells Angel.. I love that quote, but if you are taking it from The Departed it is a little off.

DiCaprio rocked that movie. I think it will be nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for both DiCaprio and Nicholson. Probably best screenplay too. |

I unfortunately could not start from the first day-- only achieving a few hundred words (about 544+). But today I proudly have achieved 3,048 at this given time. Still in the first chapter, though I am upset at certain areas of quality. But other than those minor bumps in the road, i am rathe rplease so far. not my best work, but... it is NaNoWriMo.

8414. My only concern so far is that I'm going to run out of story before I hit 50k.

Like you said.. It's Nano, you cant worry about quality.
I am not worrying about quality at all. In fact I have not written in a long ass time, and I am using this nano to slap my muse back to life. I figure if I can get 50k out then something might be flowing by the end of the month that will get me going with some other quality stuff. |

For some reason, even though I have had the most hectic few months EVER, I've been sucked into NaNo once more. I'm doing pretty well so far.
Current Word Count: 21,192/50,000

A hectic few months and you already have 21k? How the hell do you do it?
I really need to catch up. |

Honestly? I'm not sure. I set everything aside and just took the first few days (and nights) to just pound out as much as I could, because I knew that by two weeks into it, I'd get really busy again and I won't have as much time to write.
