I dunno… maybe we can all pool a 50,000 word excuse file … I’m sure we can all help reach that goal

Last year as a group we wrote 371,602 word count. Wonder what will accomplish this year

What’s everyone’s Nano names?
Cecilia_Rosewood (surprise, surprise 
)
Word count this far: zilch.
My Name for the Month?
Wraith (duh.)
Progress?
Does a sleep-deprived paragraph from 1 am count?
If so, around 500 words.
But truly, it is difficult to write when I get up at 6am and come back at 6pm… I’m very often too annoyed to write anything and on weekends there’s this thing called family. We’ll see how well I will be able to accomplish anything decent in that time.

Please, everyone add me so you can see how little work I’ve done! In fact it may end up in the negatives again this year. 
.
Someone who isn’t me should probably start a list of everyone’s names so it makes it easier to add them as friends.
I can’t find Wraith since there’s lots of wraiths.

I made your post a wiki so people should be able to add their own names to it.

I found Wraith abouth fourth or fifth one down on the search list.
jacic (Yeah I know original as well)
I have 645 words…so thats just another 49,355 to go. Not so bad if you look at it that way right?

I am Lucid over there too.
I hate not being a part of this! But, how can I do this when I still have LH3 to finish? I need more time!!!

Derek Metaltron on there too. Also I seem to have had a decent first day so far, so that’s good.
Aww, am I the only person to not share the same username here and in NaNo? golden_beato is one of those 13 year-old usernames you regret when you’re older, hahaha! Jk
Anyway, 2500 words so far. Not bad for the first day, I think. But still less than my 3000+ first day record a few years back.

Ew they changed the NaNo website.
Okay, so I have like 12 of these, but this is the one associated with my forum email address:

buddy w/ me y’all
i’ve been doing so much friggin’ planning for this you have no idea. I am exhausted (13 hour shift yesterday) but damn it all if i’m not gonna start off strong this year!
do what I’m doing: use NaNo to finish LH3 :3 (I’m working on a game I’ve got about 4k for, so I’m not, like, super cheating, but still :P)
I totally would, except that I’ve already written it. It’s the proofreading (and then beta) that I need to do. It’s taking a long time to proofread it, but it’s coming along.
I’m sooooo tempted to start my next project anyway, since I love NaNo so much.

same. I love diverting my compulsiveness towards something actually useful, instead of cleaning the kitchen counter for the tenth time today.
Would anyone be interested in doing 15 minute challenges with me?
I was doing those with @Snowpanther earlier in the year and they really got me writing. We’d set a time, sit down, write as much as we both could for 15 minutes. No distractions. No deleting! No fixing spelling mistakes! Just write!
And then we’d do a word count and see who won.
If I promise to do one a day, at the same time each day, I might get 500 words a day done at least. (Although I’d be hoping to do more outside of the fifteen minutes.) If there’s no interest then maybe I can just do it myself.

I’d be down for that, definitely!
