@mariposa @salome01w4g Thanks for the help anyway, ladies. π I hope nano in Jan goes well for you, Hannah. π Mariposa: Haha, well Aberdeen better be really hungery…XD
@sarah-anson Wow. Can I just say that is impressively long. XD My books confuse me when they’re 50,000 words long, so there’s no way I could make it that far. : Splitting them up makes sense. Oooh, I hope you have an awesome first year!Niiiice @perfectfifths! Yeah, when I did nano last year I liked to do 2,000 words a day just in case I got behind. π
@kballen *highfives another fantasy writer* I hope you win this year!
@daughteroftheking *jumps at loud battle cry* Oooh that sounds like a fun mix of genres! *solemnly* I will bury you beside Snowmane.
@aislinn-mollisong Happy first year! *another high five for another fantasy writer*
@seekjustice I love all these first timers! Wooow that’s long too! But hey, 50,000 words could be halfway there…
@jane-maree *mouth drops* 8k? Whaaaaat? *grins* Bravo.
@jess-penrose Yes! Welcome to the party! I love how many people are showing up.

Aaand since I started this thread I suppose I should answer my own questions. XD For nano I’m doing something a little different. Instead of writing 50,000 words I’m putting my current WIP, Rook, through two macro edits and a micro edit. It’s a fantasy, and I hope by the time I’m done it will be over 60,000 words.
Oh yeah, and this is my second year.November 2, 2017 at 5:11 pm #51109@Perfectfifths my writing secret: close all internet things other than my music playlist and my timer, and write in intensive sprints against the timer. And just keep doing that for half the day. π
I hit my goal of 15k! I’m hoping to reach 20k by the end of today. π

November 2, 2017 at 5:53 pm #51118@salome01w4g Thanks! XD I’ve had a lot of people saying how insane I am for the last two days. π

November 2, 2017 at 6:14 pm #51121Um.. Hi
This is my first year doing NaNo and I’m hoping to get 50,000 words by the end of the month. I’m planning on doing a trilogy with this, it is a fantasyish plot line, the name is The Day the Dragons Disappeared but that might change.November 2, 2017 at 6:48 pm #51128AYE, I am attempting NaNo once more. This is the first year that I have signed up on the official website, so that’s exciting. Hopefully with that added impetus, I’ll actually have more success than in past years XP
I haven’t ‘titled’ my novel yet, but it’s a mystery set just a few years/decades in the future, so nothing too dramatic. I had to change a bunch of plot ideas from when I first came up with it, but I am quite confident with it now π
November 2, 2017 at 7:18 pm #51135@jane-maree *Sees your word goal* *gasps* Whoa.
IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
November 2, 2017 at 7:19 pm #51136@jess-penrose I find loopholes… National Backspace Ban Day. Where everyone selects and replaces instead of using backspace. *sigh*
IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
November 2, 2017 at 7:34 pm #51140I reached my goal of a thousand words today!! *pats self in the back* My life can go on now.
Harry Potter forever!!!!
November 2, 2017 at 8:20 pm #51154Oh yeah, and I am writing a fantasy called Chosen by fire and I am aiming to get 60k, and hopefully should be on 15k by the end of the day. (I’m on 7 now, so, yeah.)
