Nathan Bransford - The Forums

I'm still without power and internet from the storm, but I will be NaNo-ing. Please feel free to buddy me. I'm on the NaNo site as Cheekychook---find me and I'll check in when you can!

Is anyone involved in a midnight write-fest to kick off NaNo? I'm not this year, but I know there are a couple around my town.

Our kick off party is from 8-10:30pm, but I know several of my folks are planning to stick around to midnight to get in their first words I have work at 7 am, so I'm going to leave before midnight, but will probably do my first few words after midnight before going to bed LOL

We had our NaNo Kick-Off this evening (it was a blast, as usual) and we are now all gathering on the chatroom to kick off the month. I'm super excited!

Happy NaNoWriMo Day!

See you tonight at 7pm Central Time for the first #BF1h1k

We are sprinting on Twitter in 9 minutes (7pm Central.) Come join the fun! #BF1h1k and #1h1k

Sprint! Yaaaay! *collapses*

First write in was awesome, 17 people showed plus 2-3 online. Like twice as many as last year

I'm ridiculously exhausted, but happy. And managed to get 1670 words in myself.

How's everyone doing?? As of last night I'm at just under 6,000 words.

Great job Amanda Elizabeth! Nano is so much fun and if you pace yourself you can make the goal! I'm a little over 7k right now and will write a bit more tonight.

I just reached 8,333, so I'm a bit ahead of schedule. I'm trying to stay that way, and maybe get an even bigger buffer, because I have a Hell Week starting around the 13th and finishing on the 22nd. I'd love for it not to kill my NaNo.

I started today way behind (1,838 words), but Sunday's we have six hour write ins, so now I'm back on track and at 7,353 words

I just pounded out another 2,001 words in 2 hours (and 5 minutes if you want to be exact) 7,991 total!

I did a lot of outlining but there was research I just didn't THINK of. Like, my character gets lost her first time on the NYC subway...well, I needed to figure out how exactly she was going to get lost, since I think the subway system is pretty easy...and I know they say ignore those details for NNWM, but it's a compulsion for me.

Today is a good day to remember to back up your work!

Is anyone else super behind on their word counts? ^_^
