Well this is my first year trying it and I think I have a great outline, I did all my research last month and was really hoping that it would just write itself like the rest of my "well thought out" writings, but unfortunately I fell behind. I have been non stop at work and since my job is so un-demanding i have been carrying around a small recorder writing my story as i am working.
Problem is today is what? the 8th? and I have only hit like 5k. I havnet had much time to just sit down and put all my thoughts in order. Any tips?????

That's all you can do, really. Just keep typin'.
You're not alone in being behind. I had a reaction to a medication which made me sick and kept me away from the computer for a few days.

Hey guys 
Just started nanowrimo three days ago, and I am already up to 2,000 words for my story "The Anstead Line", which is about a fictional Underground tube crash. I've got nineteen days to finish it off and edit it. So, just wondering, if I don't get it done this year, can I enter it into next year's competition?
James.

Shinn? The end is when you write 50k. There's no real "contest" save for beating the 50k mark. Other than that, it's all personal.
