NaNoWriMo 2013
« on: October 31, 2013, 03:53:24 AM »
Anyone else participating in NaNoWriMo this year?  aka Does someone want to join in and be my support team because I've never done this before and I'm not a very fast writer?  We can encourage each other and give each other feedback and such!

If you'd like to add me, username is the same as here, so feel free!

I'm doing it this year--first attempt at an Urban Fantasy.
My NaNo name is drd1812.

ETA: I'd add you guys to my writing buddies but can't for the life of me figure out how.

I tried to add someone earlier today and couldn't figure it out either, so don't feel dumb!  Hopefully we can write better than we can add writing friends!

Sadly and pathetically, one of my students showed me how to add writing buddies.   ::)  I swear I'm usually quite technologically proficient!

You have to use the search option, which lets you search for people's usernames.  That will pull up their profiles so you can add them.  You would have thought it would have been under "My buddies" somewhere, but it's not....anyways, we're off!  I have words written!  That's something!

So...how's everyone doing?
I'm running behind on my wordcount; lost a day to Real Life stuff and am trying to catch up as well as work out how to get some action into what is thus far a rather static, single setting story. Got some interesting character stuff, though, and my Angel of Death is shaping up to be a far different character from what I'd originally envisioned...

Always behind.  But I'm sitting for jury duty on Tuesday so I'm hoping to do some catch-up then.   :P  This is one of the first times I've ever sat down and been able to write when I've had time though.  It probably helps that I don't really have a story thought up so whatever comes to mind is going down as opposed to before when I've had a story that I wanted put into perfect words that I agonized over.

Had an upset stomach over this weekend, but I'm still pushing -- 20,489 words and five chapters down!  ;D

Hit the 10k mark at least!  And pretty much the whole weekend to write, so hopefully I can keep making up for some lost ground.  Hope you all are finding some good writing time as well!

I'm at 33,157 words. Had my first back-to-back subpar days Thursday and Friday, but I hope to end that tonight...

Still behind, but making the effort to do at least 1000 words/night, which is really the only time I have to write.
