YOU GOT TO 50K ALREADY?!!? OH MY GOSH!!!
And I don't have an excerpt, purely because I'm working on 4 different stories at a time . . .
EDIT: Mike, once again you have amazed me. I've said it a thousand times, but when these books get published you HAVE to tell me so I can buy them! =)

Unless absolutely necessary, make characters talk at cross-purposes. How many of us actually listen to other people? We don't. We're always thinking about what to say next, when they shut up.

I have one up! Although, it's not that interesting... it just has some of the background of my story. Still, go for it!

Everyone's excerpts are awesome! It's so fun to see how different eveyone's writing style is. Keep up the good work, y'all!

I just put the whole first chapter up. I'm not sure how representative of the story it is, but hopefully it will intrigue some potential readers.

Meh. I'm waiting to put my excerpt up until I can find the perfect spot in the story to post for everyone to read. I just haven't felt it yet.
But ASAP! I promise. :)

I'm not sure about the expert thing. This is my first attempt at writing a novel, let alone one with 50k words in 30 days. Just don't want to look like a total nut. I applaud all you other brave writers though.

I was quite amused by the Traveling Shovel of Death, though I had no intention of using it. But I am writing a mystery, and the TSoD mysteriously showed up. The real surprise is that there's nothing gratuitous about finding it in the narrative. It's a sharp-shooter shovel---a kind of precision shovel---which is used to dig a deep, narrow hole.

And a lovely piece of work it is, too. I am so looking forward to reading the finished product!

I agree. I hope you make it available. That's definitely going on the to read list.

Not sure I want this as my official excerpt, but I had to share: 159-word sentence that (I think) is grammatically correct. Also, a flashback (well, diary/gossip pages entry) only marginally related to the plot, though the worldbuilding will come in handy later, and I'll probably keep some reference to this general incident. Spur-of-the-moment names redacted because there's a limit to ridiculousness for one night.
(And of course the scarred and bespectacled maestro of the Spectacle will have to make his appearance on the NaNoisms thread.)

I finally have my excerpt up. It's not great but I think it give you a pretty good idea of what the feel is like for the whole thing.

Thankee. I should probably change that font though. I don't want people thinking it's just a horror yarn.
