National Novel Writing Month

[Ayuka]

My book starts in Hell!

Yay for happy books!

[Ryuu]

My book starts in Hell!

[12:04:47 AM] headcrabs: Hell. Hell never changes.

[theshirn]

Oh man 262 words and I'm already excited as hell!

Also: word 262 changed my entire book!

[Polaris]

Yay for status-update signature :3c

Also remember to update your wordcounts on your profile on the actual site, since that's the easiest way (instead of posting your wordcounts here :V )

[theshirn]

I have an excerpt up!  The last word of the excerpt was going to be "mad", and I changed it to "nuts", and that completely changed my entire book, and it's AWESOME!

[JT]

Let the games begin, gentlemen!

Oh, and nicely done, Polly. I appreciate the help.

[theshirn]

992 words in an hour and twenty minutes.

And they were 992 good words.

Alright.  Feelin' good.  Bedtime.

[Bias Bus]

Oh hey, it's time to start.

I don't have anything to count words but fuck it, I don't feel like installing anything else for this so I'm just gonna write a fucking lot.

yay

[trancehime]

1972 words in one hour.

Novel Synopsis and Excerpt is up for those interested.

[KomeijiKoishi]

I'm pretty convinced I'm gonna reack 50k. 2.8k already :V

[Kilgamayan]

Just finished mine.

[Gpop]

Just finished mine.

* Gpop reads file name

...sounds interesting

[Garlyle]

Just finished mine.

what?
it just started you LIAR.  At most you've had like 32 hours to do it.

Is what I'd say but there are people who've actually finished already and that scares me. (The highest word count I see from anyone at the moment is at 5k, and I seem to be leading MotK with 4k and am about to be resuming work @_@)

...what, I don't see this as a competition, that's totally not where I'm getting my drive from, shut up

[Tengukami]

Only just started, 1756 words.

I'm envisioning for myself a lot of "I can skip a few days if I write 5,000 words this weekend" moments.

I just reached 4k just now because I saw my cousin's word count and I was like "awww man girl I could do better than that." But now it is late and I fully expect to dish out another 2k+ tomorrow afternoon >_>

Spoiler:

also 25000 instances of "this chair" shouldn't count >:<

[Fightest]

The "no backspace" unwritten rule is a stupid rule and I'm ignoring it.

Also 230 words awwww yeeeeah.

[Garlyle]

The "no backspace" unwritten rule is a stupid rule and I'm ignoring it.

I have been backspacing like crazy.  It's a really bad habit I've gotten into (But in return I very rarely ever have to go and do a full second draft; I just go back and do a bit of editing, before I've got something I'm ready to put online)

[trancehime]

The "no backspace" unwritten rule is a stupid rule and I'm ignoring it.

Also 230 words awwww yeeeeah.

Less a literal "no backspace" than a "if you're going back and deleting all your writing and replacing it again you're doing it wrong"

[Pesco]

Saving it all up until the 23rd before I do anything.

Lolexams :V

[IBakaChan]

FFFFF is it too late to join?
Because what the hell, I have nothing better to do while I'm sick anyway.

There are people that have joined and successfully completed the challenge within the final 24 hours (Although it is utterly ridiculous to do so, of course).

So yes, feel free to join in!

[Alfred F. Jones]

I'll only have time to do this after election day :ohdear:

Lots of catching-up to do soon.

[IBakaChan]

And here's my profile. Yeah, Koishi avatar! \o/

[Seian Verian]

...Okay fine. I'm going to do this. I have very little confidence in how it will turn out, but I'm going to try. I do expect this to be a total wreck, but even if it's successful it's going to be completely insane because it's going to be centered on my most twisted and insane character ever.

I'll post a link to my account once the site actually loads enough for me to do it :|

[Kiro]

Aargh, I've got so many Touhou Wikia tabs open. All the early stuff for my novel is preparing the setting and description of characters.

[Myschi]

Man... This is some not-good writing that would make my Creative Writing prof' stab me in the head (and my proofreaders would probably stab me, too. :ohdear:) but it's... kindasortamaybefun.

I think.

I don't know it all looks so disorganized and ohgod. :ohdear:

Don't think about it, just type as you go along!

[Myschi]

But that's what I normally do. :V </self-depreciation humor>

Also, summary and crap incoming. Oh holy criminy you people are going to laugh in the worst possible way. Probably awkwardly. Or not at all. Or something.

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours.

[Seian Verian]
