That's awesome Ashe!

I've had a minor set back that was nonetheless awesomely fun (had to go to a wedding) and I still got something written in the car on the way up. I'm hoping to make 12k today. :)

Ah well, not 10,000, but I did get past 6,000.

I actually DO know everything. I just have a very poor index of my knowledge.

I slept more than half the day, so I only got 1166, after doing dishes and other minor chores today, but at least it was something. I really needed the rest, though.

I had a really good day of writing. There must be some major cold fighting properties of homemade kim-chee soup that I was previously unaware of, because I feel much better too! I'm stopping just shy of 12k tonight.

Everyone sounds like they are doing well though.

gaH!! im relatively new to this site, and just found out about this. I know it's not related to this site in particular, but in real life I actually have no friends who write, no outside encouragement. Its just me and my "pen" *ahem* keyboard. I'll be doing this next year for sure.

Ugh... Hadn't been able to crank out anything last two nights due to headaches.

I'm beginning to notice a pattern of working on the weekends...

I've fallen behind and gotten stuck... until I realized that I had gotten stuck because I had finished the first story that I wanted an ending for. Who knew it would only take another 15k words to do it.

Now I need to start hammering out the end of the other story I've had around forever. I might not make the word count, but I am as happy as can be!

I've fallen victim to Week 2 doldrums. I got a game on Saturday, and have to do some baking for the game tomorrow night, so I'm not sure how much I'll get before Sunday.

One good thing about this project (failed though it may be for me thusfar) is that I've found some good books on the craft of writing.

I'm reading Stephen King's "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" and enjoying myself silly.

He's perfectly willing to write about his early memories of writing in a blunt manner. Wiping one's butt with poison ivy as a kid is not something I'd announce to the world, but King isn't afraid to write about that part of his life since it relates to what he's trying to communicate to the reader about writing.

I am familiar with that book, too. You might also like "Bird by Bird". It's a great book on writing. I'm trucking along- a little behind, but only about two days worth. So I'm happy.

Anyone else having problems with the verify thing? I can't get it to work....

Edit: NM. It worked- finally. Yea!! Final count- 165,454. (Yes, it really IS that long.)

Haven't tried since I stalled out in the second week due to a lot of professional and personal stuff going on (and my Xbox got repaired... ) and never got a chance to sit down and write more. <sigh>

I pretty much stopped after about the 10th of November. Since then, I've been on and off without much attention to adhering to a daily word-count.

I failed horribly! I've plenty of excuses though-- many of which include other design work.

It was hard, and I had to work over-time a couple of days here and there to meet the goals, but it was worth it. I'm definitely motivated now to keep going. I really want to finish this tale. My condolences to everyone who didn't make it this time around. There's always next year...

Congrats to Alystra!

I didn't get much past the first week. However I did produce enough bits to use in other projects, like my War Wizard write ups.

Thanks. It was a lot of fun. I'll definitely be doing it again next year. How about you guys?

Aye, many congratulations; 'tis quite the feat, and certainly worth no small deal of respect.

Well done.

Hmmm. Give the authors a chance to punch me back. Count me in. This one's over - is there anything sooner than next year?

I missed the word count for the month, but I don't think I failed otherwise. I finished the story that has been begging me to finish it for the past year!
