Nanowrimo

@CJW makes some great valid points against me trying this. I value his advice greatly. However, I am stubborn and deranged so will forge ahead with this project, more out of self interest then anything else. If I should fail I will patch together some tools, some more good advice form @CJW. There will be no time table for this project as my writing will be taking front seat. Crossing my fingers :smiley:

@CJW

It’s not the validator. It’s simple, really. You put in your word count every day, it gives you a bar graph and tells you if you’re on target for your goal. You can look at your friend’s numbers and their goals.

I just found myself gaining satisfaction in punching in that I had wrote 1500 words at the end of the day. Small wins. :slight_smile: Otherwise, your goals are 1) When you start writing an idea, 2) When you’re done the rough draft, 3) When it’s available for Beta (done the Alpha) and 4) When it’s published. Four large steps with backpats every few months instead of daily small victories. :slight_smile:

We might get away with just using a thread to post our word count tallies.

Eg:
WIP: Life of a Mobster
Daily Update: +1500 words
Monthly Goal Update: 63,308 / 75000

@Lucid that maybe the best for now as it may take a long time accomplish this. :slight_smile:

4312 for my Hangman game all code. Will be spending the rest of NaNo working on ghost so i can add to my counts.

@CS_Closet Thank you for your kind words.

I tend to jump back and forth on projects, but still writing. So I have added all my numbers together for the month.
Hangman
11117

Story wip
53003

ghost in the library
22310

Total for the month
87430

Not the 100K I wanted, but I cannot say I am unhappy with the work done.

So resetting my Numbers and after seeing what I can really do will set it at 50K, but will be mixed over my many projects.

Please post your final numbers for the month, I am very sure we as a group have done a very large amount of numbers. :smiley:

Mine’s a bit spread out over projects as well, but the final numbers come to:

CTG: Supernatural First Edition: 50063
CTG: Supernatural Second Edition: 28840
Resonance - Arquiem Mission: 6723

Total for the the Month: 85626

I’m actually proud of myself. My goals will be reset in January going for another 50k on the continuation of either Second Edition or Resonance. But for now, editing!

As of 12:01 AM, December 1st, I have managed 50220 words of progress since 12:01 AM, November 1st.

Of course, being a pre-existing project, Mecha Ace isn’t really eligible, but I think it’s the thought and the work put into it that count.

I reach the 25,000 but my text account is weird so i have to searching other better. Either way, i won’t stop writting i decide write 25,000 each month until next nanowrimo. Im a slow paced woman but persistent, for me is more easy doing things that required constance not a great speed.

These are all really great numbers, and congratulations to all. So far our totals for Nov. is a whooping 248,276 words written. Still waiting to see what other post for their totals. Still this is an impressive amount of writing for such a small group. :smiley:

Haha, I have not written anything for the past three days. I’m really suffering bad from this low muse :b

Anyways, the total is 74,260 words. Good count for a first try, I think, although I was unable to reach the 100k word mark. But eh, I’m happy enough I succeeded for this year!

@Random really good numbers so now the group total is
322,536 :slight_smile:

By the way hope your Muse returns soon, if you need you can borrow mine, she never shuts up. Have a least one or two new stories trying to form a day. Its wears on a person, no way could I every write all these stories.

@Random oh i haven’t muse problems same as lord but i never could write like 2% of my ideas so if you need help pm me i would gladly help you.

I’m away from home. I’ll give an accurate number tonight. I think it’s around 65k. :slight_smile:

That is awesome @Lucid

Thanks! Official weigh-in… 64432.

Congrats to everyone who wrote more than they did the month before. :slight_smile:

I’d like to do another 60k for December, or finish the rough draft. Whichever comes firsr. So, who’s up for starting over with zero? :slight_smile:

Goal Meter: 0/60000

I have reset my numbers for the start of the month. :slight_smile:

I might have to start on December 13 instead as the semester is coming to an end and thus things are hectic, but I still have to solve my muse issues. So we’ll see.

@Lordirishdas & @MaraJade Thank you guys! That means a lot! Once I get back home, I will definitely get your help :slight_smile:

December’s goal has already motivated me. I was going to do something else, but I wrote instead and got myself back on track after a weekend of being away from the computer. Woo Hoo!

Goal Meter: 1351 / 60000

Game on!

Its Monday so no count. So far
200/50000
