My MC has a diary too. I didn't know it until two days ago. (funny how that happened). But.. I'll be getting to her diary again, probably halfway through the next 20.
Regardless, I'm not a super fast typer, and I really can't turn my inner editor off completely. I have a bad habit of fixing things as I go so it's as clean as possible when I go back for a re-write in editing. I actually try to write something that can be salvaged into a story within a month.
Crazy I know to try and do that during NaNoWriMo, but I can't help but try.
Coolie! I love it when little things like that pop up! It keeps the story interesting and entertaining for you as the author.
For not being a fast typer, you did well. I don't blame you about the editing stuff. Just do your best and what you feel comfortable with. I have been fighting the same thing the past two years that I participated. This year I'm just typing whatever comes to mind.
439 in 15 minutes. I had a five minute late start because my husband needed ice and my writing desk is in the way of the big freezer. I really need to move I think :-)
Well, my original goal was 5k for the night and I hit that a few minutes ago. So I set myself to 7k to push harder. especially since it's now after midnight and I'm going to have to hit 10k by the end of Sunday night. This is rough. Did you win the past two years?
20 minute word war
Starting at :40 after. I'm in desperate need for motivation to write. Someone war with me :D
Re: 20 minute word war
I just got on at :42 but I'm going to try for 1000 before 8:00 :)
Re: 20 minute word war
I'm going again at the :10 so if anyone happens to have 20 minutes, I'll be here!
Re: 20 minute word war
20 min word war.. starting at the :30. Join me if you will. Let's do this thing together!
Re: 20 minute word war
I'll join! :D
Re: 20 minute word war
Awesome... glad to have some company. I plan on trying to get another 2,674 words tonight. How about you?
Re: 20 minute word war
I'll do my best to do it with you! :D
Re: 20 minute word war
598 words! A little less than my average.. but dialogue can kill a person. How'd you do?
Re: 20 minute word war
How did you do?
Re: 20 minute word war
lol I got 869. But I totally wasn't working on dialogue. You did pretty well considering dialogue. Mine is in diary form.
Re: 20 minute word war
four more runs like that and I should hit my goal for the night...
Re: 20 minute word war
Wanna go again at the hour?

Re: 20 minute word war
So wanna go again at the 25 or the 30? I'm almost at my Diary entry and the boy's going to call her :-)
Re: 20 minute word war
lol Probably. Man, If you'd had that extra five minutes maybe you would have beat me. That would have been awesome! :D Ready to go again at :30?
Re: 20 minute word war
Yeah. Sounds like you've got something pretty fun coming up.
