New participants added to the list. If I've missed you, please let me know. I promise I didn't do it on purpose! happy


I didn't get to start right at midnight as I was still at a Halloween party. When I realized it was after midnight I just yelled "Aw man, NaNo's started!" right in the middle of our game. Pretty much everyone looked at me like I had lost my mind but hey, that's usual! tongue
I've already gotten today's minimum word count completed having written 2,494 words before 4am, but this is my prime writing time! (Well that and daylight savings time has given me an extra hour! grin ) So I'm striving for a two day buffer by the end of today!

DWH, your hat sounds AWESOME!! grin

Being on Indian time, I have a bit of a head start, but I woke up this morning and wrote three scenes of my story, totaling 1925 words. It looks like I won't be barely squeaking by at the end this time.

Let the insanity begin!

I went to bed with todays word count already reached. So all I do now is extra! dancing
I'll need it seeing my plans for November.
I was amazed at how easily I found my way back into the old story.

I started around 930 am and made 4036 in two sessions today. I'm finished for the day now and I'm about to watch Clone Wars as my treat for the day. (New episode. I saw part of it yesterday but missed the beginning).

So what's your death toll, if any, so far? I'm writing horror and I've killed a few sheep, an elderly Alsatian dog, and the dog's owner in the prologue.

I started at midnight and managed to make quota before 2am grin I'm now on 7022 and still going - hoping to get a big old 10k cushion in there to see me through the week. It helps that I have my boyfriend and another friend NaNoing in the same house, so we egg one another on happy

Luck everyone!

Some of you start at midnight?

shock shock shock

Since it's almost quarter after 1 in the afternoon here in NY and I haven't started yet, I guess I'm officially a slacker tongue

I'm off to begin my journey, now though.

In spite of being super-tired, I put on my fedora at midnight and cranked out 1,174 before I fell asleep. I plan on passing the 2,000 mark before I go to bed tonight, if not getting a little further. I've got a whole lot of stuff to do in the next few days, but I'm determined to get as far as I can, as early as possible. I'll appreciate the cushion later. tongue

I was still hosting a Halloween movie night at midngiht, then woke up and had to run a choir practice, so I'm just now starting to write.

I had originally planned to start at midnight. But I fell over half dead on the couch around ten pm instead. wink The first thing I did this morning was write, though. I had my laptop next to my bed, picked it up and started hammering the keys.

I'm up to 1700 words right now and I might write some more tonight but I'm not sure.

The bad part is, the story I originally intended to write didn't work out. I realized I still need to research a bunch of things before any of it makes sense. To me, that is. I need to understand what I write.

So I went back to Star Wars fanfic. Humor, of course. A parody of sorts with all my favorite characters and a bunch of OC's.

Much fun. I laughed at myself. tongue

Yeah, I sometimes don't sleep at all some nights, the start of NaNo is just one of those days when it's deliberate.

I've got 2067 words done and a cramp in my arm from keeping it bent while I was writing for two and a half hours.

I'm taking that as a sign it's time to take a break tongue

Geeze, it's only day one and I'm already injured rolling_eyes rolling_eyes

That is pretty impressive, LAJ! While I didn't intend to kill anyone in my story at all, I've already killed some nameless minor character by crushing him in a awful training accident to get two of my MC's together! My MC is a trauma doctor so more will probably be dying soon. tongue
