40k, 72 hours. And other impossible goals.

I'm at 80k. This is great. This is more than I have ever written on a single project, or in a single month. I'm proud.

But for this story, it's not enough.

Starting at midnight 11/28 and going straight through until the end of NaNo, I'm pulling out all the stops and locking myself in my room until I get to the end of this story, if at all possible. I estimate that to be around the 120k mark.

Join me? It doesn't matter if you're starting later, or if you have a higher or lower goal. If you're trying to pull off something that feels impossible to you in the last days or hours as NaNo draws to a close, this is where you belong.

It's 11/28 12:01 am EST right now. I'm at 80,162 words. Here goes nothing!

Cheers for you! I'm planning on getting out the last 22k words in the next three days. Tomorrow when I get home, I'm planning on just busting out as much as I can. I don't have school or work on Tuesday (well, I do have a half hour work meeting and a short doctor's appointment) so I'm planning on doing probably 10k then... and Wednesday I'm a bit crunched for time, so I estimate maaaybe 3k at most. :/

I'M GOING TO WIN THIS!

As you already know I am way behind but I am in!! How I am going to pull it off who knows. I have already started the obsessive word count updating. Good luck to everyone and to me as well lol Let's do this!!

I have about 18K to go and two more days to get it done. I strategized so I am off on Wednesday. Going to do 12 hours at work tomorrow and then try to knock the rest out on Wed. Good luck everyone!

Count me in i am hoping to reach 110k or 118k soon throughout these three days.

Great to see you all here! How is everyone doing? I'm just really starting to get into writing for the day, did a little last night but not enough that I want to update my count yet.

I'll join in. I have to write approximately 11k more to get it past the validator - and my classes (and 7 weeks' late midterms) start up again on Tuesday. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! BUT I WANT THAT WINNERS' CERTIFICATE!

Unfortunetly, I cannot. I have school. It's ashame November ends this year on a Wednesday :p

I'll join! I need a little less than 7,000 per day if I want any hope of winning this!

2k down. Feels great. The words came slowly at first, but the pace is starting to pick up.

Then I realize I've taken twelve hours to write that much and have 38k to go.

Oh well, such is the spirit of NaNo.

Well, I can't stay up tonight, I have to work at 8 tomorrow, ugh. But once I get home, I will be going nonstop, probably will pull an all-nighter Tuesday. I estimate I've got about 25K left to finish this story, so if I knock some of that out today, and then go onstop starting tomorrow afternoon, I can finish!

5k, almost 6k done with, and seven and a half good writing hours left in the day. This is going to be a challenge for sure.

I actually, surprisingly might have my plot end before I hit 120k, which is fine with me too. I was wondering if it was going to stretch out way past that but an incredible amount happened during today's word count.

I actually like when that happens. I have the rare problem of writing things that I feel are too long. I already feel like I have an awful lot left to cram into the remaining four chapters I have to write; it feels sort of rushed, but I really don't want the story to go past 110K. I just don't think it needs to. I'm too wordy lol.

I'm trying for about 35k in the next three days -- as long as I hit 100k tonight. I told myself that if I hit my goal of 100k today, then I would up my goal for the 30th to 120k -- really challenging, but not quite impossible. I already have 8k done today, so I have 7k left to go for today's goal.

Have to get 40k in the next three days. All-nighter, anyone?

Already technically "won".
But I'm forcing myself to get to 100K. I have a slim chance - but I'm extremely determined.
30K in two days. Fun.
To quote Foxtrot:
"My mind has snapped, and I'm only fourteen..."

Taking out school and 8 hours of sleep, I have 10 hours for 10k and homework.

Sleep? I'll miss you.

50k....3 days.

Umm....here I go.

I just hit 90k and feel like I might die but...there's coffee and soda! I'm good for another few hours. I hope.
10k down, 30k to go, 48 hours remaining.

I've got to hit the sheets, I'm exhausted and have to be up early (too early blech) for work tomorrow. But I'm taking my laptop so I can write during my breaks. I'll probably take a short nap when I get home, then get to writing, and try not to stop til I'm done! I think I've got about 15K left.
