1714. I was on a roll, but I started late and need sleep. Nonetheless, it begins.

1212 words so far and only a vague idea of where to go at this point in the story.  This is going to be a massive challenge considering I'm also a GM and player in a set of active online RPGs that previously took up much of my free time.

Two days of goal-exceeding in a row. I think this is the best I've ever done in NaNoWriMo.

Getting words out is like drawing blood from a stone the last few days. Hopefully I get back in the swing of things or I really have no chance at this.

Third day, broke 5k on schedule.

I've found that doing this NaNoWriMo thing, "word sprints", drastically increases my writing pace. I normally write 1k/hr but doing those I average 400/10 minutes. It's basically just a contest of "who can write the most in this period of time".

Edit: Annd now I've cracked 7k, so I'm ahead. Gonna try to get a good lead on this. I am already doing soooo much better than last year.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

I'm at around 4K words now when I need to hit 10K today to stay on target.  I've been falling further and further behind every day.  :(

I can't write unless I have privacy, which I really don't most of the day.  And when I do have some privacy, I'm usually extremely busy or extremely sleepy.  I really should have known better than to try this.

Still, I'll see it through to the end of the month.  However far I get, I get.

Day 6, 10000 broken. This isn't going badly at all.

Oh god I forgot completely about this. *glances at current writing commitments*

Dammit. Can't manage a try this year, but I'm cheering y'all on!

Power outage combined with a long shift at work killed any shot at writing today.

And so my slide into failure begins...

Shockingly enough I'm on three consecutive days of being a full day or more ahead. Going soooo much better than last year, I might finish early as opposed to at 11:30 PM November 30th after writing 9k in one day.

I finally hit the daily word target and then some yesterday, but I'm still over 5,000 words short of the target for today.  I should have a little more time than usual tonight, so I need to make the best of it.

Mid point is today, and I'm doing better than I thought I would be.  I'm only behind about 3,000 words from the overall target of 25,000 total.  I think I'm going to make it after all.

300 words short of the goal - should break 25k today.

Just validated at 50,177 words, two whole days early. Anyone else still going?

Sorry I haven't posted much this year, it's been busier than usual for me.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Still trying every day, though I plateaued around 14000, at the end of my first act. I've only got a bit every day since then.
