Rallying post for those Really Behind

You can probably see I'm a...few...days behind. So! Anyone else? We can all commiserate and egg each other on as we watch others speed past into the finish line....

Lol definitely need this. I had Friday off work, but made even less progress than on a regular weekend.

** A long weekend = Procrastinate a longer to-do list **

Why???? =(

I actually had plenty of motivation to write but for some reason could not bring myself to actually do it. This is looking bad.

My official excuse is that the Leafs lost.

I'm probably the most behind :P
Everytime I try to write something fun happens!

Oh thank goodness. I thought I was the only one! I started 'officially' some time last week. 2500 words per day for me from now on.

Yes, I'm pretty behind too - supposed to be 50% done by tomorrow, and I'm not quite 25% done as of this post.

But what I keep telling myself is that - for me, at least - it's not about finishing my novel this month (because I think mine will come to a lot more than 50,000 words by the time it's actually done). It's not even about finishing 50,000 words of it this month, although that would be nice.

It's about writing as much as I can, while enjoying the support and encouragement of being part of NaNo - and realizing that however much I end up writing this month, it's probably going to be a lot more than I would have written if it weren't for NaNo, and that's something to be thankful for no matter what.

And on that note, back to writing!

That's it you guys! Keep going. We're still early enough in this for you to catch up and come up with that brilliant plot twist that will make your word count soar!

I had a mac kernel crash on the first day (did not lose anything though and that would have been hard as all of my work is on this computer even though everything is backed up like on 5 different devices including my iphone now), have a four month old boy that is getting very active, tired myself out before nov. started with a 28k word outline that most of it is just a guide and won't be used at all and just plain not being able to do the work at home for obvious reasons. All in all I am pleased with what I have written so far and the direction that this part 3 of my novel will take. It will be over 50k for part 3 even though I am at about 14,000 years before present already and started with 300 million years before present. In this part 3 I have killed off more than half a trillion people and much more dinosaurs, other creatures, animals and whatever else happened to be around. So having one character never die ever kind of compensates for me killing off almost every living thing. :)

I am not getting anywhere and have all but given up... I had an essay dew the first week, a chemistry exam last week and a math exam tomorrow... I try to write on the subway to school and back (when its not rush hour and I can move that is...) but to be honest that's really all I am getting done... It's about all I have really got in me right now... though I should do a count and update my number... there might be more than I expect hiding in my little book! :D

It IS possible to catch up - I was at something like 11,000 or 12,000 words when I posted here 4 days ago, and I just hit 20,000 tonight. You can do it too!

Okay, so I'm not the only one. This past week was a total write-off (pardon the pun), now I have to figure out how to fit in a LOT more writing if I'm not going to just give up for the however-many-th year in a row.

And I have an arbitration hearing on Tuesday that needs a lot of attention. I guess I'll see how much I get in this weekend. That stats thing telling me I need to write 3100 words a day now is more than a little disheartening.

No one's farther behind than me.

Wanna bet on it? I only wrote on the subway writing session and haven't touched it since. I haven't even updated my count yet. I may get something done this week but I'm not holding my breath according to what's coming down the pipeline.

I had to stop writing so I could work on assignments and essays that all seem to be due this and next week.
I'm starting to get to the point where I'm thinking I'll postpone my NaNo, screw winning, and keep track of the days I missed and work that many more when my term is over. I'm doing this for me, November or not. .-.

Last day!! Come on, people who are behind! We can do it!

OR

If we can't, we can make it look more like we almost did it!

GO! GO! GO!
