Thread: NaNoWriMo

There's an item on the title page about that issue, so I'm sure those of you who were uncertain were not alone in that.
Man, have you people seen some of the wordcount totals? Kudos to PS Foster, Tiamat, and Valeca, who have answered the call in no uncertain terms. Gonna go read that stuff this afternoon, can't wait.
Where's the rest of you? *friendly nudge* Those of you NaNo'ers who haven't yet, don't forget to join us at the NaNo WF group .
Good luck and good writing to everyone!

I'm starting to catch up now. I thought you had to post your manuscript as you were doing it - for the word count to move that is. got really frustrated and then I figured out that you just type the number of words in the wordcount bar and post your ENTIRE manuscript between the 25th and 30th...silly Andrea!!

I'm sitting right at 1600 words as of now. Not too bad I guess, just already a little over two days behind. I should be able to catch up today, as I almost have the house to myself, save one sick spawnling who should be staying in bed all day since he didn't go to school.

I had a violent weekend, family issues and all, and I've only managed to squeeze around 500 words out of my hands.... Pretty depressed about that, but I hope it will pick up...

Come on Selorian and Twilight!

Rah rah rah! You can do it! Rah rah rah!

....as you can see, NaNo has drained me of creativity so that was really the best cheer I could come up with on such short notice. But you know what I mean

Hey, it's ok, Raging, someone needs to have optimism here.

Thanks, Raging.

I caught up yesterday, writing about 3600 words and passing the third day word count of 5001 by about 300 words. I'm aiming for another 3600 today.

Is it sad that I'm looking forward to Philip Pullman's pep talk coming on Thursday?

I read an interview with him in some old tatty magazine I found when I was on shift and really liked what he had to say about how he came up with the idea for His Dark Materials which I hadn't read. He gave some pretty good insights into his writing habits too.

Just starting reading the series and think it's great already!

I love Philip Pullman. He's got good ideas and plots.

I think. I can't remember now.

I'm around 3500 words. I am still struggling.

EDIT: Nevermind. I didn't pay close enough attention and thought you'd said Jonathan Stroud (the last peptalk we received).

Yay for Phillip Pullman. And Johnathan Stroud.

BTW, Damien, what the heck are those egg things?!

They are awesome, that is what they are. Clicky.

They're dragon eggs.

I think the point is to try to get them to hatch, and then get them to grow up and see what kind of dragon you get.

I'm still resisting the urge to jump on the bandwagon though.
