Good luck to everyone! :-)

My goal is to do 3,000 words a day, which should give me a decent buffer. Although I fell about 500 words short yesterday.

I made it to 1800 yesterday, going to try and do it again tonight.

Hooray for cowbows in Rome looking to score penicillin!

good luck to all, i backed of from NaNoWriMo both becauseI lack time (which is an excuse I know), and I want to finally finishing rewriting an story already edited to teh death, finish a collaboration, and finish an story that should have appeared in DA for halloween so... for every word i use in NaNoWriMo I deny this stories.

Doing ok so far (no writing today yet). I promised myself a Five Guys cheeseburger and fries if I make it through.

I am doing okay. I am not particularly happy with how I have progressed in my word count. This is my third year so I know what I need to do to stay focused. It just happened the beginning of November was really busy and now I am playing catch up. I can do it, I just wish I didn't have to.

Word count: 8,500.
Pretty much worked all last night trying to keep my buffer. Irony is cruel.
My big worry is that I'll run out of plot before I've met the 50,000 word cap thingy.

Here's mine.

When character concepts you never get a chance to play take on a life of their own... :)

I was really behind but now I am very close to being caught up. Sitting at a total of over 10,000 words.

Hey, keep it up guys.

I do this every year (this is year 5 for me) and for those wondering at the size of the project and how feasible it is, it's day 14 and I closed the day with over 45,000 words. It's possible and even likely I will finish the word count tomorrow... though the story is likely to continue for a while yet.

For those needing help to keep writing, I strongly recommend write-or-die or a communal write-in where someone is giving you leverage to help you get your word count in.

Write or die:

The idea is that you set a preset goal (in number of words or time) and until you meet that goal, nasty things happen if you stop typing for more than a few seconds at a time.

Hope those of you still working on novels are still getting the words out. Today should mark 30,000 words for those still trying to get to 50k by the end of the month.

Good luck and keep at it all!

Seriously, Write or Die helps. I've been using it since you posted it up here, and I got my word count from 18,000 to 22,000, making up for the day before (in which I did hardly anything).
As of yesterday, I'm at 29,000 words and very excited!
