NaNoWritMoorDie - third deadline

You survived a Presidential election, and the first two deadlines!

Will you survive the third?

I don't know. I don't have a crystal ball to stare into and see the future. Or do I? And if so, what am I seeing in your future, and why am I laughing so hard?


I know different people are going to go at different paces, and that's fine - as long as you end up where you need to be at the end! With that in mind, make sure you add 6,500 more words to your total by Sunday November 11th at 12:59pm EST! For those playing at home, that means you will be at least 19,000 words into your novel. If you have more? Great. If you have less, and your ultimate goal is less - fine. If you want to make the 50,000 by the end of the month though, you should be about there by the deadline though!

Get to it slackers!

There is so not a way I'm going to make any kind of deadline. I'm failing, failing, failing. BUT still writing.

So this is me, not linking my story, but I might, if I get my arse into gear before then. Also, I wanted to say how I love your abbreviation so much more than the official one.

I'm not writing anything.

I can't. You eliminated me, remember? And dead men tell no tales...

so i'm just sitting here, waiting for everything to go dark again...

There was a second deadline? When did that happen? I missed it!

I should be on course for Saturday. I'm writing roughly 2,000 a day, although that might amp up now that I'm moving on to second stage of the book. It's quite interesting how the story's naturally progressing as it needs to - I had a basic idea to begin with and as I've written, I've gradually known exactly what's needed next. The only real question I have yet to decide is whodunit :oP

Unfortunately, while I have some words and am doing some writing, it's not as much as I need to do. Got hit by overwhelming depression again, started thinking 'Well, what exactly is the point?' and didn't do any for about 4 days. Now I'm trying to decide if it is worth attempting to catch up or not.

Anyone else struggling right now?

I didn't make it. *sad trombone*

I did finish a fic though, so I find that to be a nice minor victory which I will take.

Sadly I'm only doing 1700 a day. >_> Must. Pace. Self. If I don't I start to go to a very very weird place.

Again, I will just banish myself to this corner over here with the other overachievers and just call it a night.

(over 30k and counting)

50,000 by the end of Nov so isn't happening, but I like the "at this rate you'll be done by..." feature nanorimo has... and it looks like I'll be done by late January! I intend to keep nickle and diming away at it.

Also hello all from the tropics. The tropics are terribly overrated, in my opinion. Far too hot. Brisbane was pretty much the perfect place.

I am behind....I am trying but my depression is kicking my butt. I just want to lay in bed and sleep.

Deadline met. I had met the last one too. I am 20,515 and this is from writing only two days this week. I'm likely not done tonight either, but wanted to take a break and thought I'd check in.

I'm saving all my... writing... for you.
