[ladyseishou]

Day 2 - 28 days remaining

Stories that want to be told are not "out there."
They're in you.

— John Truby



And now’s the time to bring that story out, make it real, word by word. You can do it, Nano Writer! Today’s word count is 3,334.

Questions? Comments? It’s early days! Your story world is still new - have fun! And keep writing!

Haaaaa, I'm tumbling into the pitfall of 'Oh, I had a good word count yesterday, and I've shown that I can get it pretty easily! That means I can procrastinate more!' *facepalm* Yeah, but can I procrastinate after I hit the daily?

(That and my laptop's decided to give me the black screen of doom. D: I can still access my files but damn was I crushed when I thought I couldn't - this is the first time I've written all my notes on my laptop. Hopefully I can get it fixed this weekend!)

First NaNoism!

To Calladar, he looked vaguely familiar, in the same way as portraits of ancestors long dead can remind one of relatives still living. To Nalellan, Calladar and Miran shone out of the crowd as goats on a plane.

Yeeeeah. When I find out what I was trying to say, I'll let you know.

My protagonist has decided he's bored, which is good, because I don't have a plot catalyst and he does interesting things when bored XD So we can time jump at some point today and he can go to a fair and set himself on fire and then THINGS WILL HAPPEN. And eventually the pirates will turn up.

I forgot to reply yesterday. Yesterday I got 4328 words, blowing both my 1667 goal and my 2500 goal (if I don't write weekends or Thanksgiving, I have 20 days, which means 2500/day) right out of the water. Today I have so far 3041, and it's only 9:30AM. I have till about 6PM before I have to get husband home from work, and if I focus I think I might be able to get another 2611, which will get me through Sunday's goal.

In short: :D :D :D

New indeed! One of my characters just went from being an ordinary housewife to a businesswoman AND a mage.

And I haven't even started on her kids yet!

Right so ... First chapter is finished and I just killed my MC. :p:p
Still short on words. I'm not focused enough.. I'm still writing another story, and that one is flowing way better than my NaNo one. *pouts*

Oh man, I am so glad I found this community! This is my first time doing NaNo, and I'm already behind since I didn't get the chance to write anything yesterday. Now I'm struggling to find the motivation to start today. I know once I start and get going it'll come easier, but it's so hard to get myself to just sit down and begin. :T

Only managed to write a few hundred words so far today but I wrote almost 4900 words yesterday, so I have some breathing room. I just don't want to take it this early in the month. /o\ An excerpt of what I did manage to write today:

I was driving down FM 1830, the sun down and nothing lit up because that road didn’t have any sort of lamps or overhanging lights, when I hit and killed Death and his horse. I mean, anyone could have done it. Like I said, the road was dark, and he really shouldn’t have crossed it like that.

My narrator is... a bit of an oddball. As you can probably tell.

My overall total rests at 3862 (2110 words today), and I'm almost at the end of Chapter 1, so at the moment it's poodling along quite nicely :)

[insomniac_tales]

Cracked in at 5168. It's writing pretty well, but today seems a bit hazy. Having trouble pulling words.

Day 1 (2 days late lol)

[mushroom_of_doom]

Sorry for the posting snafu. I forgot it was moderated when I sent this through the first time.

3064 / 50000 words. 6% done!

Hope everyone is having a good NaNo so far! I'm off to a write-in tonight to catch up on my wordcount.
