Mmmm, my novel this year is really hard to kick off. The more I write, the easier it gets (the complete opposite of my NaNo last year), so I've only logged about 1800 words today. But hey, at least I finished the first chapter?

So how far along are YOU? The first one to 5,000, will be proclaimed a god(dess).

I don't think ONLY and 1800 words should be in the same sentence together! That's a great start ... I hope to hit 5,0000 tomorrow, but I am a dreamer.

I didn't sleep last night, so I stayed up (starting after midnight, of course!) and wrote.

I finished just now. I did pretty much nothing else all day, but I really need to pace myself because I don't want to burn myself out by going OMG AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!

I have class during the week, though, so I'm sure I'll make good decisions regarding time management from now on! :D

Marignygirl - I figured as much :-)

I'm turning in for this night, but damn, I had fun. I've been grinning about it all day, like my own private inside joke.

10:02 pm - 5,101 words

That's pretty good for me and the story is still flowing pretty good. I imagine it will slow down during the week and I'll be able to play catch up on the weekends...(got lots of inspiration from being downtown for Halloween)...thank you NOLA. And Pravda will at some point end up in my story with a new name...

Good night, and good writing (especially to all you night owls) - suzie

Yes, you = goddess. And suzie, who apparently has 10k now. I'm very jealous.
