I started writing nineteen hours ago. Since then, I've been writing on and off all day. (Australian timezone.) After a word war, I just hit 8337 words!

*crazy dancing*

I'm so happy! XD XD XD

YAAAAH! EIGHT THOUSAND!

*glances outside* It's getting light out. Only 2,000 to go, and I'll have written 10,000 words. I can write that in an hour, if I can think that much. I've been writing on and off for 7 hours.
Make that eight. I forgot about daylight savings.

I'm actually at 7,800 words now, just haven't updated yet... almost there! I've been updating obsessively every 1000 words or so XD. I need to use Write or Die, though, because I pause way too much.

Have reached 8K by rambling about my OMC's past and the graveyard he's at right now. (Not dead; he's supposed to steal this locket, but the weather is dreadful and Entreri isn't cooperating at all, so it's taking them forever.) Am amazed at self, and the apparent quality (!!) of the text.

Ooh boy, I feel like I've missed a day or two there. You guys SURE it's Nov 1st? And not, say, 4th? Because as far as I know, I may have been sitting here for three days straight without realising it.

Might go for 10K today. Or might go out to buy chocolate. Or both.

I made it to my goal for day one, but just barely. My parents stole my writing mojo towards the end. They're very snide about me not helping with chores, but I'm just a bit frustrated that they waited for November first, which they knew was a big day for me, to ask me to do all these things.

Anyway, I made it to eight thousand! YES. Eight thousandth word: jobs.

I hit 8000 words. I have 5 hours and 55 minutes left in the day to get abotu 1800 words. I think I can actually hit a five-digit word count in one day. This is awesome!

Google Docs tells me I have 8089. Got it with one minute to go until midnight: last minute sprint on Write or Die. (1298 in 37 min, not, I think, counting the pause where I had to go run my hands under the hot water tap because they were so cold. xP) So I got 8k on the first day; definitely the best first-day-score I've ever had, although I would have liked to get somewhat higher that that on this wonderful 25-hour day.

Oh well. Next year, maybe? xD
