I agree. As I always say:

Unrelated but the link in the OP is broken.

Why not, I'll give it a shot ontop of my compilers and game design class. Should be a hoot!

I know better, but I signed up anyway.  I have a week off in November where I'll have to house sit for my parents, so that ought to give me plenty of time to work on it.  In theory at least.

So to convince myself I'm really going to do this, I created a Discord server. Come on in so we can all have more fun writing and support when we need it!

2 days before it starts and I haven't even written out a plan. 2017 will be a pantser year.

I tried outlining but just couldn't do it.  Every time I go to write a story of substantial length I try to write an outline first, but I can just never form a coherent one.  Looks like it won't be any different this time, especially since I'm pretty much out of time to outline.

I'm actually concerned that the real problem is a lack of plot or major pacing issues, but I guess I'll find out as I write.

National Novel Writing Month starts in a few hours for the U.S. and has already started in some places, so good luck all!

If I know my luck, tomorrow will be such a long and exhausting shift that I'll have zero energy or time for writing. If that happens I might as well throw in the towel.

Day 1 word total: 1880. Turns out this isn't as hard as I thought it would be. 50000 is a lot, but the words do come just as long as I focus on the scene and let the characters live their own lives.

I managed 553 after midnight, but before bed.  That's a decent start for today, but I can tell that I'm going to be so busy that I'm going to get behind.  Let's hope that the week I have off later this month will be productive and I can catch back up.

Hit my target and then some! 1,750 word so far. I'll probably do a bit more before turning in for the night, but this is the best start I've had in years. I'm not even done with the prologue yet.
