I started writing at midnight! And just officially hit the goal for the day, and then a little extra. And don't forget, it's daylight savings, so if you really stay up tonight, you get an extra hour to write!

laid down for a nap at 7:30 so as to be awake at midnight...but i set my alarm for 11:45...A.M. instead of P.M. It's 1:55 a.m. now. So I missed the opening bell. But here we go...Happy Nanoween.

I have a night-worker's schedule, so, as is my custom on Saturdays, I went to bed with my wife at 11:00, then got up again (11:00? Please! The best I can manage is a nap at that hour) at 2-ish.

I've hit my goal for the day, plus a few hundred more. That's the first chapter done... it's a shame I won't get to write more today, probably, but will again be working after midnight, tomorrow.

Happy writings,
-Zero

I had planned on starting at midnight, but was a bit sleep-deprived and so laid down around 10:00 last night to watch the World Series. I woke up at around 4am feeling much better :)

I'm near the "official" goal of 1667 words. I would like to break 2000 today though and 3000 would be even better.

So far, so good!

I was going to start writing at midnight but my friends and I had decided on October 30th that we should each play through the "Mega Man" games. I finished, but by the time I did I was very tired and my eyes sort of hurt.

I could have started writing around midnight, but we threw a Halloween party for my and my mom's birthdays since we're both October children and my friend stayed the night. We stayed up all night watching Ghost Hunters and the Van Helsing movie. ;3 She left and then I chilled out for a few hours. I've been writing on and off for the last hour and a half and now I'm over 1k.

I wrote at midnight! I had to run back to my dorm, as we were all the way on the other side of campus, and I was freezing and out of breath, but I did start at midnight. I was really reluctant at first, but now I've fallen in love with a few of my characters and things are absolutely rockin'. WOOT!
