Posted November 24, 2011 *cheeeeers everyone's words!!* I hit 50k last night, and now I'm trying to keep going, not NaNo-pace but just writing because I don't want to shove it aside the way I usually do after NaNo. I skip around when writing, so I basically have the ending all written out (omg I cried. I completely broke my poor MC), and yet I still need to flesh out certain things towards the middle of the story. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2011 How does one write a character that they absolutely can't stand? I had to form another plot point to keep my word count rising, and the character that formed with said plot point needs to die like, yesterday... But I need to keep him around and see what he does to increase word count. And to be honest, it is important that this new character is around, but still... I hate him. With a passion.

Posted November 24, 2011 I would totally have signed up November 1st, because I love to write, but I'm a perfectionist and often spend a long time deliberating on what the best way is to write a certain scene/paragraph. I know there are going to be a bunch of inconsistencies in a rushed novel ,and I just won't be able to stand reading back on it and seeing all of the mistakes. T_T I might do it next year, but probably won't make it. Maybe I'll just sign up right now and make a mad dash for the finish line Share this post Link to post
Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Well, if I produced 7k a day this year, I can make it. The problem is none of my ideas are rolling fast-enough to do that. Sometimes I have really good concepts, other times I don't. Congrats to all those who have already reached 50k! Edited November 24, 2011 by Bourne151 Share this post Link to post

Posted November 27, 2011 Okay, after a frighteningly busy 3 days, I am now 6,000 words behind... Insurmountable? NO! I will catch up today! Wish me luck! Share this post Link to post
Posted November 28, 2011 *gleeful* I hit 50K way back on the 17th, but just now I finally finished my novel. I topped out at 80,353 words. Now I just need to find something to write for the next three days. Share this post Link to post

Posted November 28, 2011 I need to get about 3.3k a day now to win. Bring it. Home sick today, might be able to get a little extra done. That would be awesome. Looks like we're in the same boat! My lectures were even cancelled today, a sign from the NaNo Gods to get some more words done! We can do this! Only 3 days left! Share this post Link to post
Posted November 29, 2011 My favorite thing about being home sick is the fact that I got 4k words done without it interrupting my homework : D Share this post Link to post
Posted November 29, 2011 500 words left! I'm almost too excited to type! >.> And go to those who haven't yet won! You can do it! Share this post Link to post
Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Congrats to winners and keep going to people still trying! I'm off to do my last 956 to win. Wheeeee. o3o EDIT: Whoo! Wrote 1,903 to pass 50k and reach 50,974! No end in sight. None of my problems have solutions at all. I've written 50k, though, and will continue writing at least until the end of November. :3 To everyone else: you can make it! Rah, rah, rah! Edited November 29, 2011 by SockPuppet Strangler Share this post Link to post
Posted November 29, 2011 Congrats, Sock! ^^ I'm working my way towards the end of my story. I don't have much left now. Of course, this will need a whole lot of editing afterwards, but at least I'm getting close to the moment where I can finally write "the end" Share this post Link to post
