What's Your Word Count?

**PSFoster** · 11-12-2008, 06:02 AM

I've not updated yet, not enough written to warrant an update. Since I write in longhand, then type into Word, it takes me longer. So I've got some written, just not on Word yet to count the words.
Working evening shift this week. I hate it. Not enough time to do anything!

I started eleven days late (today's my first day), but my current word count is 3,868 words.

Nice! Don't forget to come and join us at the WF NaNo Forum.
Moderan ftw! (slides into home ahead of the throw and takes out the catcher) Safe!
50,700! Woohoo! Double woohoo!
Now I have a code in my nbose. Boohoo.

6,000 now. I only got 1,000 written today. Bitterly disappointed.

There will be 4,000 written tomorrow!

Congrats to moderan, the first WFer (WFite?) to cross the finish line! Woohoo! Much celebration and ticker-tape!

That's awesome!

Sam, don't sweat it. I had one of those days, too. It happens. Life has a way of...well, getting in the way sometimes.

Go Beja!

Sorry about the boyfriend having to leave, but glad to hear you'll have a break to really put in the words.

Yeah you know what's great? He's doing NaNo too, as well as one of my roommates so we've been having major NaNo sessions. At least he understands and we mutually ignore each other with no hard feelings

I am SO stoked to be crossing the 20k line today as this is my first NaNo! I'm surprised at how much easier it gets to flow the story after a while. I was worried because I had entire days where I didn't write anything. And then the 3 of us sat down and I banged out 7,800 words, my roommate 5500 and my boyfriend banged out around 5000 as well. WHEW! Too bad I actually have class today. WHO NEEDS SLEEP?!?!

**Sam W** · 11-12-2008, 10:23 PM

Yes, sleep is so over-rated.

Congrats on getting to twenty, RH!

I'm around 30k. I know it's safe to say that, but I'm not sure exactly how many I have since I'm still typing what I wrote yesterday. I didn't feel like typing yesterday and my wordcount for today is utterly pitiful. I've written less than a page today. T^T

**Raging_Hopeful** · 11-13-2008, 12:23 AM

By the way moderan... we hate you. But love you. Because you kick ass. Because you kicked OUR collective ass

GOOD ON YA MATE!

I'm at 17,535 today. I need to have a couple 3500 word days to get caught back up. What I wrote yesterday I totally enjoyed. What I wrote today though, I hated, but kept going to get the word count up.

Congrats, Moderan. Way to go.

I don't know whether to bow or duck *laughing madly*
But thanks...on to the finish of the novel...y'all can make it if I can

DUCK!!!!!!

**valeca** · 11-13-2008, 09:31 PM

In theory I should finish the 50k tomorrow. Saturday at the very outside.

I'm still liking this story of mine, which utterly amazes me. Usually by now I hate the plot, hate the characters and despise the writing. It's a strange place for me to be when novel writing, but I'm not going to question it--just enjoy it.
