About the same over here. Day 1: 782 words. More than I thought but less than it should be, haha.

Steph: Day 1: Word Count 738.
Excuse: I meant to work on writing and on getting my blog put together this evening, but I ended up having something else come up. I think I'm off to a pretty good start though.
Day 2: 25 <--No I'm not missing a number there.

Awesome Emma and Steph! Just writing is a good start.

Day 1 was like wading through treacle. Day 2 was a whole lot more runnier.

[andavri]

I'm glad your day two went better than day one. I wish I had been that lucky. But Aarick just up and disappeared on me after like two sentences.

I was kind of busy obsessing about a school assignment last night so I only got maybe 500 more words. This week is gonna be super busy too, so I need to really kick in an extra gear on Friday to catch up!

[Kiri]

Day 1 God. Day 2 Emotional Manipulation. Day 3 Underage Sex.

I'm starting to get really scared about what I'll be writing about on Day 30!

I think your story sounds very interesting, Kiri. Lol! I'm still just poking my first chapter, can't seem to get school out of my head for long enough to write more than a few lines at the time.

[Kiri]

No writing at all today - although I thought about things this morning. Unfortunately I was away from home until 2pm, came home and phutzed and napped and WoW'ed. until 1am.

So going to bed and making up for it tomorrow.

[Kiri]

Yay! Actually did a decent amount of writing and stopped when I got to the next scene but could have kept on going. that's good!

I'm not sure how writing tomorrow is going to go though Got a photoshoot in the afternoon when I normally write.

[silverlining]

Well, I finally finished my first chapter! It's up on my blog. If you wanna read it you'll need to register and be placed in a special user group by me. My total so for is 2531 words... not at all satisfied with that but life's just been crazy. I'm hoping I'll pick up some speed soon.

[silverlining]

I actually wrote a bit tonight. Only maybe 400 words but it's the first in a few days so it still feels good. Hopefully with today's oral exam (the worst and first exam this season, at least in terms of nerves) over hopefully I'll be able to catch up at least a little bit.

When I decided I was going to try this year, I had nothing I had to get done. I decide I'm doing it, then suddenly I get snowed under with stuff to do. >_<' I'm not even five pages in and the month is more than half over. *faceplant* We so need a faceplant emote for the forum, Kiri.
~Steph

[Kiri]

OK - Face Plant smiley is on my list!

[Kiri]

Well, it's day 20. I've actually done way more writing this year, than I did last year. But it's still a fail. There's no way I'm going to finish 50K words by Nov 30.

On the other hand, I'm noticing a couple of things -

1. It's flowing more now. The more I write, the more I'm writing. Sure it's crap, but there's more crap now!
2. When I'm not writing it's because the subject matter is bothering me. It's not because I don't want to write, or I'm caught up in the good-enough thing. I think that's a big change.
3. I need to put on my big-girls panties and just write this stuff. It's better out than in.

[silverlining]

Great to hear that you're starting to get on a roll, Kiri!

I'm going to fail big time. I don't really mind, or I wouldn't if I hadn't done 30K last year anyway, haha. Still I want to get a bit more done anyway. Might have time this weekend, if I don't get caught up simming or something!

[Theachen7]

*sneaking into thread even though she doesn't do the write-marathon*



Just wanted to show some support

And Kiri, that sounds interesting! Good to hear you seem to be on a roll!

I'll be for you all!

[Kiri]

Thanks Em and Thea - I'm always happy for the support!

I working on being happy if I make 10K!

[silverlining]

It took me two episodes of Glee to get going but now Chapter 2 is up! blog.sensiblycrazy.com/?p=191. Gotta go wash up in the kitchen and then it's time to start Chapter 3 ^^

Edit to add: word total is now 4080 so at least I'll get past 5k for sure, haha.

[Kiri]

Congrats Em! That's really wonderful to hear!

My main goal is to be writing still when I get to Nov 30. The word count is just the topping on the icecream
