Almost there!

The deadline is coming closer! Need to have 50,000 words or more by midnight on November 30th. Three days left, including today.

I'm now at 32,584. I need to write about 5,045 words a day today, tomorrow and Sunday. Think I can do it? Well, I wrote 5980 words yesterday, so yes, I can :)

Carmen is sitting at 36,476, so I'm not far behind. We can both do it!

Note to self: need to buy more coffee.

Favorite moment so far this NaNoWriMo? The following conversation occurred after a Word War:

[2008/11/19 22:50] Squiddy Geiger: I may ahve sleep-typed part of taht
[2008/11/19 22:50] Sicily Heartsdale: good for actually falling asleep well writing a sentece
[2008/11/19 22:50] Chex Ansar: Ooooo, sleep typing
[2008/11/19 22:50] Squiddy Geiger: at one point I caught myself typing "as I fled the rushing floodwaters"
[2008/11/19 22:51] Squiddy Geiger: umm... there's no flood in my story.
[2008/11/19 22:51] Sicily Heartsdale: *cracks up laughing*

Yes, it's that time again

I have once again embarked upon the madness known as NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) - during the month of November I shall endeavour to write a Novel. The goal is to write 50,000 words or more. Why 50,000? because that's the generally accepted minimum length to be considered a novel.

Visit www.nanowrimo.org for more information. And now, I'll go consume Mass Quantities and spew (hopefully) mass quantities of verbiage. Wish me luck!

Oh yes - you can see my progress in the header at the top of the main page, and compare it to my friend and fellow NaNo addict, Carmen.
