Team Incurable Watermelon Smooshes, this is your thread and your thread only. This is where you post your word counts, your inspirations and things to spur each other on.

Teams are welcome to read each others' threads, but if other teams are caught posting in other threads there will be a deduction of 1000 words on that person's total - or the team average. Depends on how we feel ;)

Hell yeah, IWS FTW!

I'm on 2467 words so far - 800 over my daily target, a pretty good buffer, hoping to extend that buffer tomorrow so I can have some days off from writing.

I'd appreciate it if you read my excerpt, I'll read yours. :)

Other than that, we will ROCK!

I'm up to 1359 words! I'm fairly impressed, a prologue and a good chunk of chapter 1. I'm going to watch Bones now, then come back and knock off another couple of hundred words, I really want to get over the daily total though!

Hello fellow Incurable Watermelon Smooshes!

Regardless of whether we win this battle that we've been thrown into by those warmongering MLSeses, we most definitely will be more watermelony and more incurable than any of the other teams! And, by the good name of the goddess herself, will we say smoosh more than all of the other teams combined!

Greetings, fellow Watermelons!

I had a decent enough day yesterday, managed 2365 words. I'm hoping to get to at least 4K today, because I'm probably not going to be able to do anything tomorrow and it will be nice to have a buffer.

Happy smooshing, everybody :)

Today was a crappy day at work and I didn't get any writing done :( But I'm over 5K, and tomorrow I'm going to be home all day, so it ain't looking too bad....

Oh, i just wrote about 2,000 after slacking off the last few days, and can still go, so it's looking a bit more possible now.

Hi, sorry. Teaching has been killing me! And assignments. So I've not done as much as I wanted to do. I'll write more this weekend but I don't know if I'll manage to get back on track.

I think most of us are a little off track. I'm trying to catch back up and I'm glad it's the total wordcount that matters, not the speed at which you get there XD

Have had a lousy few days - can we just blame the heat for that? - but I managed to poke and prod myself to 20K tonight so.....all is not lost. Gonna try and have a more productive day tomorrow.

Speaking of lousy days. Ended up spending a majority of the week at work and then was too tired to even open a worddoc. I should be getting to it now.

You're going amazingly, Qweenie!

Who's planning on going to the allnight write in?
