NaNoWriMo 2010 - Day 19

[ladyseishou]

Day 19 - 11 days remaining

Whatever job I had, I was always writing like crazy.
All I ever liked about offices was being able to type up
stories on the computer when no one was looking.

- J. K. Rowling



Today's word count is 31,667! How is everyone coming along? Having some trouble finding the time to write today? Well not to get anyone in trouble or anything but...

You might take inspiration from today's quote! So while you're waiting in line to buy tickets or after you got your seats and before the previews, write out that next scene in your notebook or your smart phone or netbook. Count the minutes before the movie begins in words written for your own version of the next great story of our times. Or you might try... ;-)

Excerpts? Questions? Comments? Writing location secrets to share? It's all good!

And remember... keep writing!

I love that quote!! ^^ Because it is true! Really. I do type at work when nobody is looking. XD And I've written another piece while I was on the bus to work. ^^
I'm at 27.901 words. And damn it, today is only half a day I need to work... And I am going to shop with my mother this afternoon, and this evening I have a volley game. And then it is weekend... Weekend equals nearly no time to write... Though *ponders* I think I am free Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning... *glittering eyes* Yes! time to write! *grins*

Writing location secrets? I write everywhere. When I'm waiting for the bus. While I'm on the bus. At work. In the car on the way to volley training (when my mother or sister are driving, of course. XD) In my room. In my bed when I am supposed to be sleeping (and of course that is when inspiration and words and sentences and subplots and plots keep on coming... ^_^") Luckily for me I always have at least 1 notebook and 2 pens with me. Everywhere. XD

Are you feeling better? *hugs*

[ladyseishou]

Sounds like you're making good progress catching up! And you have time this weekend! Yes! You can do it!

And great advice! I also need to keep a notebook by my bed as I just can't sleep until I've written down whatever scene is playing in my head when I'm suppose to be sleeping.

Also I'm feeling much better today! Thank you!

[dark_kana]

Yeah, I have time this weekend! ^^ YAY!! I want to completely catch up with word-count again. And run a little ahead again. XD

There always is a notebook next to my bed. Yeah, I really can't sleep until I've written down what's in my head. So it's really handy having a notebook everywhere. XD

Glad to hear! :-)

50235! I beat it!

But now I have to finish the story.

Cheers and Congratulations!

Let it be known that on this date, cat_rood ripped 'em, shredded 'em and now goes forth to finish them off! Cheers!

I DID IT!

Today, I broke the 50K mark!!! Okay, there's still like two thirds left to write in order to finish the story, but…
JESUS CHRIST RIDING A BROOMSTICK, I WROTE 50K WORDS IN 19 DAYS!!!

Okay, feeling better now, I just had to get this out. My first real NaNo, and I did it. Now, my inner editor is allowed to come back home. I need him to finish the remaining two thirds. LOL

Cheers! Congratulations!

[ladyseishou]

Congratulations again on writing the first 50K words of your novel and mastering the NaNoWriMo challenge! You did it! *throws confetti*

wow, what a week. i haven't managed to do any fiction writing since Tuesday night (although I did a lot of blogging, including one 3000-word post that I wrote in four hours ... too bad it doesn't count for NaNo :-)).

so it was a real inspiration to get to this thread and see people getting over 50K. hopefully i'll join you this weekend!

w00t!!!!!!

50124! Yay!!!!!!!!

Today's excerpt:

"Is Athena up to her usual tricks?"

"What do you mean?"

"She's been angling for the CEO role for a while. It wouldn't surprise me if she's intentionally setting things up to make you look bad."

"No, I probably just screwed up." I looked at my calendar on my phone. "Sure enough, I had a meeting scheduled with her. I don't remember seeing it this morning but Kalliope wouldn't have double-booked me."

"Don't be too sure about that. Muses and Moirae works very closely with Golden Apple Investments -- as does Hellrazr and Nemesis. They may all be working on Athena's behalf."

I thought about it. It certainly fit with Eris' concerns that I was being too trusting. And the anomaly had gone out of her way to make it clear that she didn't want me to look empowered ... could this be part of the reason why? Kalliope had consistently seemed friendly and helpful, but it was such a political environment I could certainly imagine some hidden agendas.

*applause* *cheers* *high fives*

[ladyseishou]

Cheers on reaching the big 5-Oh! Yeah! Celebrate and then write the rest and finish it in style!

Re: *applause* *cheers* *high fives*

[kallistixf]

thanks so much! yes, there's still a ways to go, but it feels great being over 50K :-)

Sitting at 32112 this evening and I'd like another 200 words but I'm tired and I'm glad for the extra 200 I got this evening, I have a near impossible time writing at night.

Anyway, holding steady on target, tomorrow is a new day. I think if I can make it past 35000 I'm gonna be in better shape.

In other news I have written EVERY DAY for the last 19 days. That blows my mind.

[ladyseishou]

Your word count is great! and it really sounds like you made a good call in quitting for the night. And most definitely: you deserve cheers!cheers!cheers! for writing nineteen days in a row! A fantastic streak! Good luck with writing tomorrow! Hope that you hit that 35K this weekend!

[medicalmouse]

36910 for me! That quote made me laugh, since I spent most of my chemistry lab today writing out the next section of my novel while I was waiting for my reaction to finish. It was interesting trying to figure out what I'd written after the fact, but it was a few hundred words down.

Also, congrats to everyone who finished!

[ladyseishou]

Wonderful word count! And cheers for "secret writing" - not something that everyone can do but it sounds like you worked it in well today!
