Nanowrimo 2017 Thread

Oh man, I’m so behind, only 2,627 words. I need to pick up the slack :sob:

I had a school assignment hit me pretty hard this week, so I’m still barely over 1k. :pensive: But I’m just going to take this a day at a time and make sure I pass my history class first…:woman_shrugging:t2:

Sign me up. Username is ChaoticJackal, if anyone was interested.

Oh wow, Fiogan and Eric, you’re racing along! I had to start a few days late due to other stuff so already a bit behind (4560 words) but I got given a badge and a dinosaur today by the local nano group that’s now perched on the top of my laptop to remind me why I need to pick up the pace :grin:

(I think I need to give him proper eyes, that zombie dinosaur look is kind of unnerveing after a while)

That moment when you’ve got 50,000 more words down for nanowrimo, but then realise that the book’s no where near finished :sweat_smile:

Congratulations on completing Nano!!!

And yes…I sympathise. How do these things happen? At least we don’t still have to buy pots and pots of ink and sacrifice the lives of a grove of trees. ;p

Thanks!

I know. I really need to stop saying I’m going to write a “short story” because it ends up longer than the last one lol.

True at least we don’t need to sacrifice forests anymore. My story is stored on an itty bitty USB drive the size of half my thumb… where’'d I put it again?
(j/k it is so backed up elsewhere as well! I don’t know what I’d do if I lost it all at this stage).

Wow 50,000 words in half a month?? That is super incredible! Congratulations @Jacic!

I’m so late to this but I’ve been writing on-off but nowhere near 50,000. I think I’ve logged about 15,000 so far? Guess I’ve to pull a couple intense shifts if I’m even going to try and make it hahahahaha :cry: :cry: but this is gna be exciting!

Thanks @nauhziy :slight_smile:
You’re still doing better than I did last year and it’s not even the end of the month. You can do it!

I’ve had a few days off, so instead of doing some of the more boring things that I really need to get done I decided to get some serious writing done.

Aah, @Jacic I’ve joined you in crossing the Nano line! 50,000 words this month to add to the manuscript’s current total, all done! Now I just need to write heaps more and finish off the story, somehow…

I don’t have a fun meme, sadly, but I can direct eyes to a fun quote from Sam Bain: “How To Write: get as distracted as possible for as long as possible until you are driven to start typing by an overpowering sense of shame.”

@Jacic and @Fiogan, congrats to you both! I noticed you two burning up my Nano Buddies List.

Even with my purchase of a used laptop, hence giving me some writing mobility, I’ll still be lucky to hit 25,000 words for the month.

I was doing great. Reaching the 38,000 mark. So I thought a day break would not hurt. That was followed by two days of little writing and now hit a snag. Should still hit 50,000 by end of month but will need a blitz tomorrow to catch up to where I should be.

Congrats on getting to 50,000 @Fiogan! Glad to see you’ve joined the never ending story project :smile:
