924 before hitting the sack. Not bad for a first-time participant, right?

Just finished the prologue, seems like a pretty decent stopping point. 2,224 words. Ahead of pace for now... not for long, though.

Had to pack it in because a group mate's computer died.

2,054.

Better than I was hoping - that took me completely through the first scene. New goal is to break 5K tomorrow afternoon.

I quit at 2300. And already my story is going places I didn't know it was going to go. I blame the sugar and the bad karaoke.

And now my sugar high has completely crashed and I must go into a coma until tomorrow's (erm, today's) write in.

See you all in a few hours.

I hit 2813 at the write-in.

Before I can sleep, three things must happen, however.

1. The coffee has to wear off. Otherwise, I face a most excruciating fate of lying in bed mulling over a plot I cannot push forth into being

2. I gotta plot the plot...

3. More must be written. 3000 words must be had!

Fortune and copious amounts of beautiful words be with you all!

I hit 2188 (Sara, you beat me!) before my noveling at Java Break turned into more yawning and less writing. Now to go take a look at what I wrote last night and... somewhat fix it before moving on.

Also, silly cats didn't get the memo that it was daylight saving's time, so here I am, up early! Oh well, an early morning of noveling is about to start.

1298 before my laptop battery died. I was about to keel over, too, so it was probably a good thing I stopped anyway.

Super-impressed with everyone who was impressed enough to pass 2k! See you this afternoon!

I managed a whopping 352!

For somebody that has been up walking around DC until 4 in the morning and getting up for model UN at 7, I think that's pretty good. xD
