I think 13,500 for someone who works full time is very good. Almost a thousand a day I think the goal of 50,000 words is not what is important. The fact that you are finding time to write when there isn't much to spare is what matters. if you do that, you are winner whether you write 15,000 or 200,000. Good luck!
Thanks. My husband told me the same thing, about it not being the word count, it's just that you're writing, so I keep trying to tell myself that when I don't produce as much as I would like. Also, at least I know what words I do have are carefully considered, I guess!
Well, I should be halfway done sometime tomorrow, woot! I'm starting to feel it in my hands and wrists, though. I guess I just don't type enough regularly to be used to it. Hope things are going well for everyone else.
Ended up in hospital last night lol - so goals not managed this weekend. It was just my ME but with it being chest pains, breathlessness etc needed it checked. Oh hum well back to work today on the plus side I now have most of my school kids worked out and we are about to start time travelling sometimes soon. Of yp have Albert Einstein and Alfred Nobel working out the best way to make apples explode.
I finished the challenge today. I was supposed to reach 51,000 to do my daily 3,000, but I don't think I will. Feeling a bit lazy... My story is nowhere near its end, but hopefully by the end of the month, I'll finish. I'm aiming for 90,000 - 100,000, but I am not sure it will be enough. I'm still not in the middle of my outline, where I should have been today. I've been writing much more than I thought I would, and changing things I thought I wouldn't...
I did not congratulate you yet? Well, congratulations! That is wonderful, Mel. And of course you won. I knew you could
Bleeeh, it's made me so tired I can barely concentrate on anything. Trying to make an effort to get back into my writing forums... I need to edit the story a lot, and now I passed the word count I feel just like waiting until I can verify and win, and then I'll tear it apart. Well, actually, some time in December AFTER all my essays are due.
Didn't write anything yesterday, only wrote 200ish words on Saturday, and I don't feel like doing any writing towards it tonight. I'm on 19k so behind by like 5k. And I'm going to meet up with a couple of people tomorrow for a write in so hopefully I get some writing done then. But what with uni, I feel I'm just going to keep getting behind..
^ *jaws drops* YOU are done?! Ugh! I'm so envious - the good side of envy. That's so amazing to get your wordcount over with and you still want to go back and write more to it? Rock on, Mel. ROCK ON!
I can't believe so many people have finished. I've abandoned uni work today to try and catch up to the recommended daily word count but that means writing 9k.. I can do that, right?!
Yes you can do 9K it is possible - I reached 41K today so pleased with that this month was never going to be the best for doing it lol
yeah but now I want to start the rewrite lol I now know that I don't want a certain relationship to happen and then I have this fantastic story
The second week gave me a hurdle that's for sure. Thank you, I am getting there, but I'm also 10k behind schedule. When I signed on for this, I had a lapse in memory. I didn't realize Thanksgiving would be a difficult time to juggle priorities. How is your nano going? Is your piggy muse still visiting at all times of the night?
oh my have not managed to get my brain working today - I really need to start the rewrite now I know what changes I want to make but guess I should get to the 50K first. I am so ready to build on the relationship with Socrates and Nate/Charles even if I still don't know how to handle it lol
Well, we all have those sort of days. Once Thanksgiving has passed, I will be able to concentrate a bit more. Oh, you are going for 50k! It is still early. Hooray!
I'm nearly at 42K so it is doable now it is less than 1K a day - would like to get there over the weekend but have to get my old house ready for inspection by the landlord going to try and get there tonight if I can. I am actually thinking me being slow and unsure is working quite well because it is coming across in their conversations. I just need to write Fy out - for next ten thousand words I am pretending he doesn't exist lol In my head he is now back as King of Scotia.
