My goal was 2500 a day, which would put me around 32k by today...i pretty much failed at that goal. stupid real life. Oh well. I did another 600 last night. So yay. Here's hoping tonight goes much better. think im getting sick and stressing over reality so things are falling off track

You're still ahead of schedule for the month, so keep up heart.

jaxx6166 · 11-13-2009, 10:54 PM

I've got the heart. Just not the health tonight. My friend at work convinced me to go somewhere I'd never consider in a million years for breakfast. That went - well. And here I am in pain. I've tried for a little bit each night regardless of health. I pushed forward tonight though. I'm a little over 25k right now. So, I'm still right on track. I was going to try to go until 1130 but that doesn't look to be happening tonight.

Final word count for 11/13 is 25,068. So, I'm still ahead of the curve. Just not by much =)

Last night was a good one. Since returning from vacation, I've not kept up the burnign pace I started with, but it has been steady. I keep trying to stay above the 1667 mark, just to keep disciplined.

ASparrow · 11-14-2009, 10:50 AM

I'm managing 1,000 per day minimum, with 2,000 on good days. Not fast enough to complete the task, but enough to establish a pretty large beach head.

pshrynk · 11-14-2009, 10:41 PM

Congrats! And I think that's pretty big news. I just hit 40K yesterday, so it's not like I'm that far ahead of you!

pshrynk · 11-15-2009, 04:16 PM

:sigh: I wrote Adrian out of the outline becasue i didn't want to spend a lot of time explaining an imaginary friend of a possibly imaginary friend who is also an invisible gibbon and the little bastich just snuck back in!

I'm at 41,162 right now and am only stopping because I have to go grocery shopping...

wyldkit · 11-15-2009, 04:28 PM

Just got my green bar.

Also finished what turned out to be a fairly short novel (50,274 words).

Starting the Star Trek novel tomorrow to keep my momentum up.

jaxx6166 · 11-15-2009, 11:09 PM

Congrats on being the first to finish. I'm halfway there =)

Just made it to 26,523. Nearing the end of the first story arc. He'll get the magic mushroom and save his friend. But he'll doom an entire city in the process.

I'm excited for Act 2 to start up. Here we'll get to meet Lag Nabios, the female airship pirate.

I am noticing that the outline I spent days on has pretty much been forgotten. I've already ignored two chapter plots and a whole arc involving the queen. Unsure how this will affect everything else though.

jaxx6166 · 11-15-2009, 11:12 PM

And I'm still sick =(

Did you read the small exerpt I posted?

Douglas Rhodes · 11-16-2009, 04:39 PM

Took two days off. Just needed some time away.

Today I came back and knocked out 3000 words. Hopefully I'll finish by next week.

By the way, Wyldkit, congratulations, you're my hero.
