Returing writers from the year before...

I'm just hoping to make the 50,000. Hehehe. Though last year I made it over by the five hundred, I would love to make it to 55,555 for some strange reason. Or to 60,000. But that's a stretch, we'll see.

And nice goal! I could never make counts that high, way to go :)

I wasn't here last year but I was here in 2002. My total word count then was 52,178. Since the novel I am writing for this year's entry seems like it might expand into an epic novel, I would love to write 100,000 words. However, I am going to be realistic and, like Cala, be happy to make the 50K in time.

I have actually broken my goal down a little bit though. I am aiming for a minimum of 2,000 words per day, and so far I have been sticking with it. So I might make 60,000.

P.S. I just noticed you both have over 12K words on Day 5 and that probably doesn't include today's quota. Wow. Just wow!!

2002 - Witchcanery - won
2007 - Battle Cleric - we'll see :)

My goal is also an unambitious 50 000.

The novel is turning into a huge mess, so I might have to drag it out considerably longer after the 50 000 words in November, but I like sleep.

I book a week off of work for this...so this is all I have for spare time to I am going to make the most of it... plus I am the kind of person once on a roll, and work it to death. Thank... my goal is my goal of goal.... but getting 50K is worth it.

Hehehe, thanks. I'm pushing at the beginning this year because the long weekend last year hurt. I go travelling with my parents, no where big. Last year Regina, year before Edmonton, this year Moose Jaw. But I lose four days, and a weekend to boot -_-;;; So I'm sure you and many others will pass me shortly :)

My goal is to finish again, so I can increase my win rate to 33% from 20%. Could be a bit lofty with the other things I've got going on in my life later this month... And I'm going to Regina this weekend.

First I should worry about reaching the 50k, but I was thinking since this year, my novel has a more solid plot that I can write more with, I am aiming for about 60k. Achieving more than this, considering I just went into grade 9 and the homework has been just been piled on, will be a small miracle. I hope everyone manages to reach their goals for this year. good luck!

I'm back from last year. I just want to finish. I'm just a bit behind. I have been busy helping put democracy in action.

I hope to get back on track this weekend.

My goal is 90,000 and a finished story. If I'm finished in less than 90,000, that's OK too.

My goal is at least 70,000 up about 10,000 from last years novel. The year before that I just made it over 50K. I'm thinking if I get to 100,000 or so that's good too, so long as the story -- well "Book 1" winds down well enough to be considered complete.

I'll be lucky to get even 20K this year. Just too busy.
I write grant proposals all fall and those have to take precedence or I'm unemployed with no funding.

So i guess I'm mainly "here" for the buzz.

Cala... Are you passing through Swift current? if you are I will try to wave as you drive by...

Sorry, I don't think I will be. Tend to take the main highway from Saskatoon to Regina and do the turnoff just north of Moost Jaw. I think. If I remember correctly. Thanks for trying, though :) The thought is much appreciated.

Well Swift Current in on the highway... Muh I tried.

I'm trying to beat my lousy show up of last year's 10,000+ words. Hopefully at least 30, 000 this year. Might be lucky and finish.

Swift Current is on a highway, that's true. But not the fastest way from Saskatoon to Moose Jaw. Take the highway heading towards Regina. You're kinda the other way.

Roshi you will complete it... Even if I have to beat it out of you!!!!!!!! -evil laugh-
