NaNoWriMo Anyone?

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month<br><br>is anyone besides me crazy enough to participate? I'm being forced to do it for my creative writing class >.< I've tried to do it in the past but only got about 20,000 words in. <br>Right now I'm right on target with how much I should be writing a day. I'm at about 6,700 words right now!<br><br>So anyone else doing this?<br>Have you done it in the past?<br>How far have you gotten?

  • I've heard of it, but never been brave enough to officially participate. The novels I am working on have been in the works for years, so you can see why I would stick at the concept of writing one in a month. :P I love the concept, though...and am kinda wishing I was enrolled in a creative writing contest that forced me to participate. XD<br><br><br>...and now you've gotten me on their website, contemplating a late start. Thanks! :P
  • <span style="font-size:85"><span style="color:#800000">I kind of restarted on the 12th. So I've been going strong for a week now and am at 14k. Still half of what I should have, but if I keep writing at least 2500 words a day, I'll make it to 50k by the end of November! XD</span></span>

  • I'm at a measly 19.5k words right now. Between work and appointments I don't see how I'm going to finish on schedule. (Unless I can hole up over my days off for Thanksgiving, haha.) But finish or not, this is a good experience for any writer. :)
  • Good to know I'm not the only one crazy enough to give it a shot!<br>I'm a little bit behind because I was performing in Florida for a few days >.< I just crossed the 27k mark which puts me about 5 days behind. Ugh.<br>I'm going to try to type nonstop for the next two or three hours to see how much closer I can get to today's goal. Wish me luck!

  • I attended an overnight write in last night and got quite a bit done. I'm on 24k now and my plan, once I'm home and caught up on sleep, is to get as close to 30k as I can! At the moment I've gotta write just under 4k words a day to make it to 50k on time!!

  • My best friend and I are planning on doing a "Write-All-Nighter" soon :)<br>Our problem will be being able to focus long enough to get something done haha <br>I have to write about 3,200 words each day to finish on time which isn't too bad. I'm hoping I can do it!

  • I've thrown in the towel for this year. Sitting at just under 25k with 5 days left. So not going to happen. XD<br><br>Good luck to the two of you on getting to 50k! :)
  • I've heard of it but never participated. Sounds like fun though!!
  • I finished my novel a day late and 9,000 words short but I did pretty well considering I miss 6 day because I was in Florida!<br><br>How'd everyone else do?

  • I didn't get even halfway. Work got the better of me. :( 24,988 words is all I got. Ah well, next year I will hopefully be better prepared!
