Just as a heads-up, the word count widgets are finally up and running. Now I can have my lame word count chase me wherever I go! :]

Don't worry, I can have my horrendously erratic writing progress haunt me wherever I go as well! :]

MY WORD COUNT IS WORSE THAN YOUR WORDCOUNT

I'm going at this way slower then I intended. Also the story is darker than I thought. My characters keep getting their asses kicked

I picked a horrible month to start drawing a picture every other day, make an account on Reddit, and surge towards level 30 in League of Legends.

ugh.

Oh man. Why is it that the urge to draw and doodle all day long is hitting me now and not at any other time when it would be much more welcome?

Too busy vomiting over my thousands of projects to really be motivated and focus on NNWM... I feel like I want to die right now x.x

Prody · « **Reply #160 on:** November 19, 2011, 08:45:10 PM »

I accidentally caused my story to end at 30k~ words... Well, this is a problem. Looks like I have to journal my way through the rest of the words like last year.

I dropped out, like a boss. Too much to do to really dedicate much time to this. Good luck to those still going strong, though. (You ARE going strong, right?)

Whoops :V

I have the next two days off and my goal is to get caught up with 35k words. I'm at 7k, so that just 15k-ish words a day. I can do it! Probably!

Slowly, but surely.

Emphasis on slowly. :ohdear:

My first update on word count was July 2015 :V

theshirn · « **Reply #166 on:** November 21, 2011, 03:15:29 AM »

Mine is at January 11th.

too much to do aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #167 on:** November 21, 2011, 08:21:17 AM »

December 8, 2011. And since I'm finally on break, I think I actually stand a chance at making that even closer! I just have to write over 2k words every day from here until the end of the month. `~`

Desu_Cake · « **Reply #168 on:** November 21, 2011, 10:51:47 PM »

Welp. Seems stuff got in the way a lot, I'm only at 3k words. Still, I knew I wasn't going to finish. I suppose I'll just see what I can get done by the end.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #169 on:** November 22, 2011, 07:50:43 AM »

Aw hell yeah, I'm finally within 4k of the word count I'm supposed to be at, and now things are going to get fun.

Also, if pictures are worth a thousand words, this should totally count towards my word count.

trancehime · « **Reply #170 on:** November 23, 2011, 03:53:49 AM »

i fucking hate life so much right now.

i entered this year optimistic, but the huge amount of work i've had to do throughout the entire month, not to mention dealing with the plethora of misfortune; has really sucked my ability to write quickly dry.

my only recourse now is to cram 22k words of nothing but writing next week. if I can write 10k words in one of the days next week, preferably monday, I would be extremely happy with that and stand a good chance of finishing. but as it is, i can't do jack at the moment, for the following reasons:

11:41:37 (kasuganoS) too much work
11:41:47 (kasuganoS) at this rate i'll only have 4~5 days to write 22k words
11:41:58 (kasuganoS) I have a 6 to 9PM exam on Friday
11:42:04 (kasuganoS) Next tuesday I may have another exam
11:42:11 (kasuganoS) This saturday I have a machien project due
11:42:16 (kasuganoS) This sunday I have community service
11:42:25 (kasuganoS) oh on Friday I have to give in some parts of my research paper too

Tamer Anode/Cathode · « **Reply #171 on:** November 23, 2011, 04:12:14 AM »

So yeah, I'm pretty much out. I didn't really feel dedicated to writing this month, and I've had a lot of other stuff on my plate. On the other hand, what writing I did get done was pretty cathartic and fairly good for coping.

Good luck to everybody still in the running. I know you want to work hard, but don't exhaust yourselves.

THE DESTINED TIME APPROACHES

Feels so strange to actually be on-target for once. Now I just have to not totally hose up these next few days.

Suikama · « **Reply #173 on:** November 25, 2011, 02:58:18 AM »

I'm tempted to put my 'wordcount' at 49999 on the last day and see if I win any wooden spoon awards :V

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #174 on:** November 26, 2011, 07:28:54 AM »

What is this feeling of actually being ahead of the mark? It feels... it feels...

:dragonforce:

I'm excited. Last year I won NaNoWriMo by the skin of my teeth, breaking 50k words in the space of only a few seconds before deadline. This year has turned out significantly better.

trancehime · « **Reply #175 on:** November 26, 2011, 07:44:59 AM »

congrats, i don't think i can win this unless I can pull out a 4-day wonder.

*shrug*

Aba Matindesu! · « **Reply #176 on:** November 26, 2011, 02:33:13 PM »

OH HELL NO I forgot about NaNoWriMo nooooooooo... Thankfully, I AM writing a gothic fanfic about Alice for Lit class, so it's all good.

> realizes I've only gotten 2k words down

well damn it.

Coincidentally, the project deadline for that is on December 8.

theshirn · « **Reply #177 on:** November 27, 2011, 02:46:59 AM »

well I need 7000 words a night for 5 days

yeah

um

:ohdear:

Celebrate that sweet, sweet victory.
