Based on the numbers you all have listed so far day 3 we have written a total of 35861 words. Awesome job everyone.
*edit with JimD numbers it changes to 38766
2905 today but still need to finish my chapter.
Well done everyone on your progress.
I think I woke up and deleted everything I did. I canât find it anymore. Oh well, whatâs written in delirious feverish hazes can be deleted likewise. It likely wasnât any good. So Iâm back to 0 again, unless you count the shopping list I wrote which was where my writing should have been. Itâs as weird and rambling and unfocused a shopping list as the writing was, and weirdly just now writing a 50,000 word shopping list, with choices, and which rhymes possibly sounds just about as valid as whatever it was I was writing before. Since I know a shopping list is not a story it can go away as well.
Iâll likely finish November with a negative count.
Good luck everyone else though.
@PaulGresty Iâm afraid that youâre mistaken. Nothing can be more exciting than Metahuman Inc. Get back to work. 
(Good luck with the super exciting job)
@FairyGodfeather Or it might have been the most brilliant thing youâd ever written 
On a more serious note, the way you say it makes it sound like youâre about to give up, which in my opinion would be a shame. Youâve still got a whole lot of november left, so if you concider giving up thereâs still plenty of time to do that later on. (I know that that doesnât really make sence)
But to be honest, IMO it didnât sound like you were able to put your heart into the story you were working on anyway. So maybe starting over might actually be the better thing to do. In either case I hope youâll feel better soon.
(And I apologize in case I sound like a nagging mum.)
Word count for today is 2000. Total word count 10500, honestly Iâm getting bored writing. I should stop and take a break for a while 
You are amazing i only did 1058 today after four hours 
I am feeling so stupid and slower. 3,558 words is so bad. I know i am writing on other language but many people do so and write faster i am about abandone i mean there is no way i achieve anything so why try?
@FairyGodfeather
I know you to be a great writer so just roll with the tide as you have friends here that will always be in your corner root you on.
@Aera
It is a good thing to take breaks so as not to fry the brain pan lol.
@poison_mara
I think you are being far to hard on yourself. No one here is judging you but you. 
Write what is comfortable for you, should you not make your set goal then no worries, feel good as you ARE WRITING. That is the reason for this.
Happy to see such good numbers from everyone.
I was going to wait to do an update of my game but had a good day of writing. total goal for the month so far 10003. So taking a break then see if I canât get something out on the update.
Target: Complete chapters 10 / 11 / 12 of my game âMetaHuman Inc.â (50,000 words, or thereabouts).
NaNoWriMo Day 4:
Word count today: 232
Total word count: 1683
Percentage of total: 3.37%
Damn me for finding ways to cut down and simplify yesterdayâs work. Yes, taking into account editing yesterdayâs work, Iâve done a grand total of 232 words. Then again, it was a difficult night, and a long and difficult workday, so Iâm pleased to have got anything at all done. Still, Iâm getting peeved that itâs day 4 of the NaNoWriMo, and Iâm still only scratching the surface.
Tomorrow will be better.
@poison_mara, the simple fact that youâre writing fiction in a language that isnât your native tongue deserves incredible respect. Really, people often donât understand what a pain in the ass it is to work in a foreign language. Iâve lived in France for nearly 10 years - and yet, if I even have to write a short email in French, it takes me sooooo long. Itâs immense ballache, really. If youâre able to write fiction - better, interactive fiction - in English, as a non-native speaker, then Iâm already impressed.
I was having some troubles in choosing between NaNoWriMo and making an attempt at a Hosted Game. Seeing this post was a great answer to my dilemma
Great work so far, everyone! My indecision in the beginning led to a pretty sizable delay, so itâs going to be a loooong night.
Thanks guys just sometimes i feel like a failure when things dont go as it should i got better numbers than last year though.
Word count for today is 1763. Total word count 12263.
@poison_mara I am also writing in a different language besides English since I feel more comfortable writing with something that I am familiar with then I would translate it to English. I donât think what I wrote is good at all. It should have massive grammatical errors along the way, but Iâm going to fix that once I write everything.
@Lordirish Lols yeah I think taking a mini break will eventually remove my boredom.
Target: Complete chapters 10 / 11 / 12 of my game âMetaHuman Inc.â (50,000 words, or thereabouts).
NaNoWriMo Day 5:
Word count today: 1606
Total word count: 3289

Not a bad day, but still going much more slowly than Iâd like. Ah well, itâll pick up. Not tomorrow - Thursdayâs a hellish day for me; Iâll have to get up around 5:30am if I want to get any writing done at all. But Friday, foâ sure.
Stay strong, November scribers!

Iâm considering doing something CS related if I manage to finish early.
