Don't worry, behind-people! I started a few days late and I was able to pull through!

Thank you. That is reassuring. Nearing my first 1000 myself.

6913.  Fell behind and wrote almost nothing today.   Bah.

I'll have to play catch-up tomorrow, I guess.

Up to 7,819 words as of day 5 (so still about 500 behind). Still, one good solid day and I can more than make up for that. It's always interesting to see where a story goes when you don't necessarily plan ahead of time.

Do you just write in word and look at the word count at the bottom? Or is there a way to do it on the site?

Just a not for the behind people. Writeordie.com is a great, great tool. If you stop writing for more than a few seconds, it begins deleting what you've written already. It works very, very well as a motivator. I've gone from struggling with 750 words a day to doing four or five blocks of 500 words. There's also a desktop version, if ya wanna buy it, but the online works very well.

Darth Real Life got in the way these past few days, just barely keeping up. Have to write a standard day's worth today, and it may or may not be a challenge. I feel like I've gotten lazy and unmotivated from not having written much recently. Time to find some motivation.

Yeah, Writeordie is awesome.

Q10 is also a very good program.  It's a super-minimalist word processor that goes fullscreen by default, can't be minimized without closing the program entirely, has no formatting tools, and has a whole suite of wordcount and timer features.  It's basically a word processor tailored from the ground up to enhance productivity in creative writing.  I started using it a few months ago, and now do all my rough drafts in it.

I skipped a day because of business. Then from laziness. I am so screwed on finishing this by month's end. :D

Up to 9,800.  I've got an hour to squeeze out those last 200 words to get me back on target (I fell behind this weekend because my grand plan of "go home to visit family but take the laptop so I can write as well" turned into "go home to visit family FULL STOP END OF LINE").

So many cups of tea consumed.

I'm sputtering on an 100-500 words a day. Not optimal but I'm at least getting something done. I just need to specify what is destroying the world.

Between real life screwing me over the past few days and a headache, I only just managed to finish chapter three and end the day at around 9000 words. I wanted to pound out that last 1000, but I just can't do it tonight. NaNo is starting to stress me out a little.

Wow I'm up way too late. But it was worth it! I managed to get back on track with 2,193 words today for 10,012 total.

Perhaps tomorrow I can convince myself to finish before midnight rather than starting after...

And this is why I didn't participate. :P I would never have gotten out so many words a day.
