Officially Unofficial NaNoReMo Thread! (Part 1?)

Hey all, I'm Emilia (prefer Emmi, but it's cool either way) and I am here to bring you
the officially unoffical NaNoReMo thread (Part ONE?!).
This is just a place where people who signed up for Redemption Month
(over here: http://nanowrimo.org/en/forums/life-after-nanowrimo/threads/46064?page=1 )
can chat while writing their novels. Anyone can come in and chat as long as it's about writing!

I created Redemption Month after losing NaNo for the first time this year (so tragic...) and I thought I might as well see if anyone else would be up for redeming themselves (or finishing their NaNos or writing short stories or etc.) and a whole lot of people signed up. Anyone can join, and you don't even need to write 50,000. :)
This is just a supportive community for those of us who are still here and writing even though NaNo has been over for two months now (two already?!).

In order to prompt discussion, I have a question to ask you all:
Who's your main character this January?

Yay!! I was going to try for a NaNo in December but failed miserably so this sounds great.
Answer: I'm going to finish my Trapped series, and this time around it's Kristen, Raevin, and possibly Trinity? Wow, three and they're all females! o.o

My main character's a battle mage called Stan Regas. He's on the quest to stop an army of undead from wiping out the last know human realm. Can't give you any more detail since that's all I have right now, lol.

So far I'm 2k in... and struggling! Woo! Roll on Feb 1st.

Tempest is my main character. She's fiery, yet cautious. And on the run with a guy she just met.

If anyone was wondering (which you probably weren't, but hey, whatever!) my main character is Reva June and so far she's attending high school in Oklahoma. :D

Jacklyn "Full Metal Jackie" Taylor: a SWAT sniper/ Mohten Reisr (Destroying Monster).
Victor Taylor: Swordsman/ Tesho Majir (Blade Mage)
Jinx: Bookstore worker/ Tanor Majir (Spoken Word Mage)

I should probably add the Scout (a monster similar to the Japanese kamaitachi, or sickle weasel), but as I have little in the way of him, I'm leaving him out for now.

Hey all!

I'm here to finish my Nano. 108,917 words, and still not done. Can we say long winded? LOL. Hopefully this month I'll finally type those magical words -- "The end!"

My MC is a mad scientist named Dr. Benjamin Brutus. He's unbelievably sexy and fantastic, but when his wife dies, he kind of spirals into a depression. So he does what any self respecting mad scientist would do -- he brings her back to life.

You know, for me -- characters are really what makes/breaks a book. I always remember my favorite characters from books, sometimes little else. So if your characters are good, your readers will fall in love with them and that's half the battle right there :) I remember being in high school, so in love with Mr. Darcy. Could I tell you the plot/scene of Pride and Pred? Nah. But I can describe Mr. D to you to the T! LOL.

Anyway -- my book's limping along. My FMC and MMC had a very romantic scene yesterday, which is fun for me to write :):):) Today, I'm limping along, I think because I know FMC has to die in a few scenes, and I'm going to miss her ::Tear:: ah, I'll get over it.

Ending the day at 6,902 words. Not too bad for 2 days in. A lot better than November's start.

I broke my old laptop yesterday and lost the 7K I had written. D:

Hey all. I seem to be VERY behind due to general business in life.
But I am going to win! I will win!

I'm Katie! I'm so pumped for NaNoReMo. I've got a great twisted fairytale on my hands and I'm working out the details. Aury's the best nickname I've come up with so far for Aurelie and I have no idea how she and Charming are going to get stuck together but I'm confident. P=

Just reached 8,000 words. So I'm behind on my target lol. Want to be at 10k today at least, if not 12k... not gonna happen!

Anyone fancy motivating me??

I'm trying my hardest to finish off a short story that I started last April so it's very much a 'redemption' month for me! At some point I need to go back and sort out the mess that is my past NaNo novels as well, but I figure if I start small it will be harder to fail. *sheepish grin*

Main character is Meg, short for Megan (last name unknown) and I'm roughly 3k into a planned 8k story. I feel silly having gotten stuck at what amounts to a Day 5 wordcount-- You'd think after NaNo this would be easier! :P
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just hit the 10k mark. Maybe I shoulda made that my goal for the night :) 2k more to go....

12,003 Yay!! 12:54am and I have work tomorrow. Today. Soon. Goodnight.

Decided to reply down here instead of up there because the trend's leaning to the right a lot, although I'm quite curious to know how far right we can go :-P

So, we're around 9 days into the month. How everyone's doing with their novels? People still on track? Emmi (Ellipses), are you still in this??

@maggie, I'm getting better at cooking I'll have you know. But I'm staying away from anything as complicated as toast :-P

Jumping in: I'm in rewrite stage for my Nano effort. Was out of town last week, but still managed a critical reading of the thing, and got all the easy changes done. Then I came down with bronchitis. Right now, I'm not doing much but sleeping. But as soon as I feel better ... watch out!

Main character: Brian Whitlowe. He's a techie nerd programmer, who finds a programming error that pits him up against an international cartel operating on the moon.

I just typed a sentence, finishing the word count at-21,229 :) That was not planned :)

I'm gonna jump in on this too. I'ditn' finish my NaNo in November and only worked on it a little durring December, yesterday I hit 8k Very proud it's hard to find tiime to write around school work Blah!

My Main Charaters are Skylar an escaped convict and known Rebel, Evan a hardcore prision gaurd/goverment security officer (severly to mildly insane), and Bradley a trainee cop who is caught between helping the goverment he's been taught to respect or Skylar the only person to show him respect and friendship.

I think it's a kind of cool story, it's like Si-Fi action-y thing. annnyywway i better go the bell just rang. lol Nanoing at school.
