Wordcount!
BobSkull:
Currently, the novel that I'm working on the most is at 23,405 after three days. I'm hoping that the storyline will be engaging enough for me to go for at least ten times that.

What are you writing that with ?
That wordcount in that many days is a) impressive and b) would make me worry slightly about possible RSI-like issues.
I've typed 10,500 words in a day, and it was a bad plan even though I spent a couple of hours not writing in the middle. [ Seeing possibly the worst piece of theatre I ever saw in my life, which could well be part of why so creative. ]

If you mean What am I writing it with as in writing materials, it is my desktop.
Lol. I know what you mean, I thought the same thing so I (after a great deal of deliberation) gave a copy of those pages to my dad(great writer, grammercrazy writing genius) and he gave me the thumbs up. And the I re-read it. It all sounded good, so I'm not worried. (Not really sure what RSI-like issues means though???)
I just sometimes get into a groove(I know that sounds stupid), and can write a lot in a day, and these past few days have just been great for my book.

That was what I meant, yes.

Repetitive Strain Injury: not messing up your wrists. Which may be more of an issue for me because I've spent thirteen years this year in day-jobs where I was sitting in front of computers typing much of or all day and trying to work that in ways that don't leave me unable to write in my spare time.

My current story is about 61k. That includes stuff written during last year's NaNo...yes, it is a NaNo story, but I think it's pretty good, however deluded that may be. I've got sort of an amorphous goal of getting the whole thing finished this year.
I've only got one section to write, but it'll be huge. I'll probably add on another 10k without realizing it, once I finally sit my butt down and get it on paper.
