Got there this morning, about half an hour ago.

I would cheer but I need my coffee. I accidentally updated as "1000 words" for about an hour there.

Yay! Just got there! I'm so glad I've caught up. Writing a little more today just in case one of those 'dry spells' happen again. :/

Reached it last night, but was supposed to be here on Tuesday. Need to hit 12,000 because I have a busy weekend begin from Friday and do not have a lot of time to write. If all goes well, I should end Sunday with 15,000 and confidence that will build up to my 50,000.

shutupshutupSHUTUP before you all tempt me to start feeding the huge mass of non-novel material I've written this week into the novel proper and thereby break half the NaNo rules.

10002 words! In three days worth of writing, too, no thanks to camp.

Also, another day of camp tomorrow at eight in the morning, so I am going to crash now. Yay me.

Goodnight all~

OMG! I made it! And I managed to stop my horrible knight from building that particle accelerator, too!

Now I need to worry about the fact that 10k words into the novel, they're still only just getting around to investigating the symptoms of the problem. At this rate the evil sorcerer won't even get to make an appearance before he's forced to retire like Saruman in the movie version...

I AM HERE! I probably won't start the woo-hoo 15k/20k/25k etc threads though considering I stick to the 1667 x whatever date it is.

Uh, sleep deprivation, I expect. I meant to say, "assassinated my main hero", which probably doesn't clarify much.

I was quite amused at this: the death of the main hero only by the first fifth of your novel! Just read your excerpt by the way. I love that style of writing and I will look forward to being able to read your story somehow in the future. Keep it up!

Whoo finally reached my 10k mark. Am one day behind but with reasons. Was stuck in camp a few days ago so I have no choice. Now that I have ORDed, let's hope that I can pick up and reach the daily expected word count.

My male protagonist just had a quarrel with his sister because his sister and her boyfriend who wanted to "confront" each other caught the male protagonist in action "confronting his girlfriend".

Yep erm, a bit slow on the "dance" because I didn't really check the forums. A testament to how seriously I took the fictionalized tips from this week's pep talk LOL.
