(inter)National Novel Writing Month

I'm doing this post a little earlier than normal and dating it for Midnight. So have it.

Jenn

I have found the side effects of too much caffeine. It's blindness in one eye. *Le sigh* Oh well.

Post is up for the day.

Jenn

Somebody remind me not to drink coffee and take two No-Doze's, please? I'm hopping around like a Mexican Jumping Bean. Post is up.

For those who are trudging along, you can do it. We can make it. Even if it means guzzling tea until we turn purple. For those who are ahead, you have my congratulations. For those who are right in the middle. We have to catch up to those over-achievers. *grins*

Jenn

We've made it half-way folks! Let's rejoice, share a cup of cocoa and get back to work. *grins* Post is up and know that I'm cheering you all on.

Jenn

I wanted to post this earlier, but sleep called to me. Anyone who was a teen or young adult in the 80s should recognize that group in my music tab.

Jenn

Today is Thursday the 13th. Doesn't sound as ominous as Friday the 13th, does it? We're inching closer to the end of Week Two and beginning of Week Three. You should have at least 20,000 words by Saturday.

So let's do this and get those offers from CreateSpace at the end of the month.

We're finally getting our cable back on today. Well satellite. Score! So post is up and ready for all of you lovelies. *bows* Have at.

Jenn

Nothing witty to say today. I'm tired and my eyes hurt.

Sorry that I'm so late with this today, but I had to get dinner started early and someone *coughs*Mom*coughs* hid the crock pot. But the food's going and I'm here a posting.

Personal question from a nosey writer. Who is your favorite musical act? This could be a solo artist or a group.

Day Nine of NaNoWriMo is like those old B&W Tarzan movies. A little campy and a little dangerous. Today's the day that you could start feeling complacent about your numbers, especially if you're ahead oh your 50k goal.

Don't do it!

When you feel like slacking off, go to your bedroom door and give your best Tarzan impersonation. Then see if that scares the muses back into compliance for another 8k.

You know the drill folks, let's get a stepping.

My goal today is to hit at least 22,000.I think I can, even though most of the words are in the first two chapters of my NaNo novel. *grins sheepishly. Have at my fellow Wrimos.

Hear ye, hear ye all gentle-Wrimos. It is the 7th day of ye ole merry madness. Post is up. Let's see those word counts.

Because I know some of you are early risers, or would that be late awakers? Hmm, the contemplation of it all. Post is up and coffee and donuts all around.

I was bad yesterday. I may have gotten three hundred words written during all of the excitement. But that's alright, I shall redeem myself today. *passes out chocolate and coffee* Let's get to it people.

Day 4! It's Hump Day for Week One. Also it's Election Day in the US. My advice to my fellow Americans. Bring a notebook while you're waiting in line.

Have at it folks!

I'm taking the initiative for all of us. Let's post our word counts at one set place, that way we don't clog up our Flist more than normal. I don't have my count for the day, but I'm donating this post for everyone in our community.

Feel free to use it if you all want.

Jenn

I just thought I should do it. I hope this isn't against the rules.

Today's word count

( The Daily Totals )

It's October 30! Who else is completely and utterly unprepared for NaNoWriMo omg?!

I've got several Live Long and Marry fanworks due November 1st and, as for NaNoWriMo, all I know is that Cody, Romy and Amoun are probably going to go to Texas to investigate Chupacabra and probably head up to Canada for some kind of occult happening that I've not figured up yet (but will be completely, unexpectedly, frightening).

So! Who else is already flailing?

So, 21 days before the insanity starts and this place is strangely quiet - calm before the storm maybe?

So how are you people doing? Bunkering up on snacks and beverages and anything you can use to write on/with? Decided on a genre? Attempting to wrestle your characters into submission? Got your plots in order?

Or are you like me and utterly lacks everything that could be resembling a plot and is suffering through nothing but pure chaos when it comes to the characters? At least I have the snacks and beverages thing down.

Hello everyone! It's starting to look suspiciously autumn-like outside, the days are getting darker, the need for caffeine greater... Obviously, the time to write, rave and holler with joy is almost here!

Only two months until the D-Day, folks. Now is the time to start stocking up on notebooks, pens, coffee/tea, snacks, cough syrup, tissues and whatever else you think you might need to survive November relatively unscathed this year. As always, remember that inspiration is lurking just round the corner - you just need to get a hold of it. (Although, no one's managed to get the permission to use tranquillizers yet. Maybe next year.)

Some have been plotting their 2008 stories for months, some plan to start from scratch on the first day. Which are you? Have you written down all your plot notes carefully, checking them for holes over and over again? Or have you been reading literature in the hopes of getting your own creative juices flowing when it's show time?

What is your poison this year?
