2,400 of ~60,000 (though if I "only" hit 50,000, I'm not calling it a failure)

I missed my quota for the day (2,625), but I figure it's still a good start. Tomorrow, we see if I can add 1,750 to that, while working an eight hour shift.

2972 in about three hours total of writing and doing some brainstorming. I'm pretty excited! When I get through this week of tests, I'll be able to take off like crazy on nights while I'm at work!

Ugh. I barely broke the 900 mark, and I haven't even had a chance to update my stats. It's mainly because I had my first few paragraphs in mind and beyond that I have NO earthly idea where I'm going... I'm going to catch up tomorrow!

I did 2000 words today for 4196 words so far. I'm hoping to get to 60,000 by the end of the month, although I would love it if I could get to the 80,000 I picture the manuscript being total.

Met my quota for the day! Now, all I've got to do is keep up the pace, leave my gaming rig turned off, and not buy Dragon Age until December. (You know I love you, Bioware, but this is something I've got to do!)

Tuesday, Nov 3rd - 1136

My NaNo neurosis hit waaay early this year and I completely froze around noon yesterday. Took yesterday off, ratcheted down the thinking that the story is stupid, and plan to hit the keys today. I have a lot of making up to do at this point.

On track so far. As of tuesday night I've got 6,689. I have lots of characters and so far I've found out how two of them are connected. There has already been an unexpected death. Otherwise I have no idea what all these people are going to do.

Willpower has prevailed. I met my quota (1,750) for the second day running, instead of sprinting out to buy Dragon Age. We shall see what the weekend brings, since I set a higher quota (2,625) on Saturday and Sunday and don't have work keeping me away from the electronics shops.

I managed to top 7,000 words last night at the Write-In which I was very proud of. I may actually end up finishing my novel this month if I keep up this pace. I'm going to try for 3,000 words today. Good luck everyone!

Still on track here. Through the magic of Excel, I've even noticed that I'm eating into the small (225-word) defecit that I had on day one. Okay, so I've only shaved it down to 138 words, but hell, it's going in the right direction, and that's better than the inflation I had been expecting.

I'm right at 4,000 words right now...but i've only written for a couple hours so far. Hopefully i will be able to crank out quite a few today. I have very little homework for once, so maybe.

Ok. so previous word count no longer applies...I scraped the idea..changing it to a short story. I have developed a new and better one that will get me my word count and I can be happy about. So i am back down to under 500 :( But at least i have room for improvement. Also my genre changed along with it. happy writing.

Well almost to the half way point and right now I think it is total crap. Me just writing words. There is no life being blown into the story, it is flat and emotionless. Which is making me re-think the 3rd person POV. Guess that is why there is always re-writes later in the year for me to focus on....I am not turing around now, keep plugging ahead!
