NaNoWriMo 2012 - Day 3

[ladyseishou]

Day 3 - 27 days remaining


When writing a first draft, you should be thinking only
about getting ideas onto paper, to have something that
can be reshaped and refined later on.

— Fred White






Today word count is 5K and one! And our first weekend. If you have the time, why not build up your word count and really get into your story? Remember too, your goal this month is to create a first draft - so ignore that delete key and keep the momentum forward and going strong!

Questions! Comments? Word 5,000 and one? It's all good! So keep writing!

I have already made it to just shy of 7k! Also, moar Lore, and an attempt to IDK figure out world-building/nature of werewolf souls/wtf it means to be transgendered/why can't we leave this abandoned town/Governments are evil.

...It was an interesting conversation. XD

NFI what word 5,001 was. The last word I wrote today, though, was 'way'.

[ladyseishou]

"Way" is good and your word count is a beautiful thing.

Word 5,001: "her". I've been following the outlines I developed yesterday reasonably well, and on a couple of occasions I've managed to either insert a section before on during a planned scene which has given me some more words (yay!).

Total wordcount for me at 6:10PM (I'll be doing some more writing later): 7,402 according to WriteWay's count (NaNo's count seems to skew about 20-40 words higher).

[eien_herrison]

Finishing up for today: 8,567 (a total of 3,702 done today). It's 8PM and I think I've earned myself a little break time and playing some video games :)

[ladyseishou]

Wow! I'd say your word count is good for a little game play! Great job! But don't get too distracted ;-)

[eien_herrison]

I just had a little bit to finish off :) It's my birthday on the 10th and I wanted to finish Tales of Symphonia before I got Tales of the Abyss next week (along with a brand new 3DS XL and Super Mario 3D Land; although technically I don't know I'm getting them and they're a "surprise" from my husband, I know exactly what I'm getting and I did pay half plus buy TotA myself).

[otter_nanowrimo]

5,001st word: "I". Not very interesting.

The whole sentence: "I can't, not right now, I can't talk to her, to anyone."

Still a bit behind the personal goal, but catching up. Word wars are a gift from the NaNo gods ^_^

How are you doing?

[ladyseishou]

Your sentence is definitely interesting! Sorry to hear that you're a little behind your personal goal but you're golden otherwise!

Let's see my 5K and one word was... "invincible" from the sentence;: "I think that 'Shindou the Invincible' has a good feeling going for it." (dialogue between two characters discussing the merits of "invincible" and "untouchable" as an epithet - less interesting than yours I'm afraid)

I'm a little ahead of my word count goal but I was hoping for better. We'll see what tomorrow brings!

[otter_nanowrimo]

Caught up to and passed today's personal goal ^_^ Finished with 8665.

Favorite snippet from today:
I hadn't ever been in Sherlock's room, not really. Oh, I'd caught glimpses through the doorway, and on one memorable occasion had wrestled his drugged arse into bed to sleep it off, but I'd never really looked. Mrs Hudson had always been the one to search his bedroom on danger nights; she'd said he didn't like to have people in his room. Which made sense; his door was always shut, and going in had seemed like a violation. Not that he had any sense of personal boundaries, and he'd invaded my bedroom often enough, but--well, he was above those human rules of social interaction, wasn't he?

[ladyseishou]

Cheers! And a cool snippet - I don't know why but John's denial about not looking reminds me of what guys say about urinal etiquette - no one ever says they look... ;-)

[dark_kana]

Ignore the delete key. It's hard. But we're managing. :p
Word count at the end of today : 8467. I'm rather happy with that result.
Last sentence : He smiles and she fights back a blush. She can’t tell him she has been dreaming about him since that meeting.
Okay, so she met her crush in a welness center... :D

[ladyseishou]

Sounds like you're doing better than me. But I'm trying ;-) And you should be very proud of that word count! It's a beautiful thing.

[fadedwings]

At the end of day 3 I had a total of 11,412. I wrote a little over 4k for the day. I've been running ahead it seems which I'm pretty happy about.

[ladyseishou]

Definitely progress to be happy about! A fantastic word count!
