National Novel Writing JANUARY 2012
Posted: January 1st, 2012, 4:40 pm
Now we all get a do-over! Same structure as December. One post per person, updated with new word counts daily, weekly, whenever. Target is 30k words in the month of January. I'm in a separate challenge with another writer to do 50k in the month. Who's with me?

Edit 1/2: WOOT! Welcome back, guys! Let's do this thing!
Edit 1/5: AMSchilling wrote "Darn day job." I KNOW!!! I'm so hoping to quit to write fulltime this summer. My job pays really well, but in December I brought home more from writing than from the day job.
Edit 1/9: I'm seeing some encouraging totals from a couple of people! Go go go!
Edit 1/12: Nice work to everyone for bringing those word counts up!
Edit: 1/16: Uh-oh. Better get hopping. I'm only on track for 41k at this rate.
Edit 1/20: It's cool seeing everyone's numbers coming up in comparison to last month, even if 30k is still out of range.
Edit 1/30: There it is! 50K for the month of January! Go, Aimee. You can do it. 15K, so close!
