I'm sad I didn't hit 1,667(daily) or 20k(overall) yesterday, but that's okay.
I'm VERY HAPPY with my story. I love it! Still!

I'm already ~400 words ahead, and that's all from last night, so I have lots more getting ahead to do today! *is uber happy & excited* The first time I attempted to draft Book 2, I got about this far(~10k) in the novel*. So I'm going into previously unwritten waters now. It's cool and a bit daunting at the same time, because I'm not rewriting anymore. I'm questing towards the meat of the book, and there's a lot out there to be captured that I haven't attempted to capture yet. But I will do it!

*I've split the 50k between two WIPs, in case that number is a little confusing, when I have a total of ~17k. XD

Awesomeness!! *high fives* That's so exciting.

I'm so happy you love it. And I'm about to watch as you hit 20k. *stretches fingers in preparation for Word War*

I hit 20k, y'all! Very Happy

*bounces* I'm so happy, and so tired... I shall sleep now.

Anyone else hit significant points*?

*There is a word for that. I do not remember the word. I think it has something to do with rocks. O_o

Amanda Fri Nov 11, 2011 6:16 am

@Constance--Might you be referring to 'milestones'? *took a second to think of it* Smile

Constance Fri Nov 11, 2011 9:33 am

@Amanda – YES, that's it! You brilliant Teo you, I shall keep you forever. Very Happy

Woohoo!!! *happy for you* Well, I'm about 600 words away from 25,000. *sighs* I ALMOST hit it last night, but I was just too tired to go on. (As you know.)

So today I'll be half way! *cheers*

Constance Fri Nov 11, 2011 9:41 pm

You've hit 25k by now! Yay!! Very Happy

In case you missed my other post, we're actually on a list of 50 sites to use during NaNo! (We being Write On!). I'm sure there are some other awesome jewels in the list, in case you want to check it out:

Eesh. Today was a little rough, meeting my word count. I've only barely got it all done this weekend because I've been super busy, all of a sudden.

How is everyone else? How are the novels coming??

Sarah Tue Nov 22, 2011 10:31 pm

Its been tough here too meeting word count and all, especially since finals are coming up in my college classes, but I'm hanging in there. November only has two more weeks in it so I'm trying to write a bit extra every day.

**Maggie** Wed Nov 23, 2011 1:06 pm

@Sarah That's the ticket! You can do it!!

Sarah Wed Nov 23, 2011 1:19 pm

Thanks! You too!!!

**Maggie** Thu Nov 24, 2011 3:54 pm

I forgot to post this yesterday... but I hit 50k!!!! Smile

I'm not done with the story yet... but I'm close.

Sarah Thu Nov 24, 2011 6:28 pm

Congrats!!! That's awesome! Happy thanksgiving! geek

<- it kinda looks thanksgivingish, right? Smile

**Maggie** Thu Nov 24, 2011 9:44 pm

@Sarah That made me smile. It DOES!! XD

Sarah Thu Nov 24, 2011 10:42 pm

@Maggie

Sarah Fri Nov 25, 2011 4:59 pm

I'm over 50k in my NaNo novel!!! I made it!! It still needs about 7k before it's finished but I'm still sooo excited!!! Anyone else sliding across the finish line?

**Maggie** Sat Nov 26, 2011 1:29 pm

@Sarah WOOHOO!!! I saw it on the NaNo site (hence the tweet...) I'm soo happy for you! I knew you'd do it. Very Happy

And I am across the 50k line, and finished with the novel to boot. =)

Sarah Sat Nov 26, 2011 7:51 pm

Thank you!!! I kept forgetting to mention it because the story technically isn't complete but I'm over 50k and right now that's what matters Smile

YAY! I'm so happy we both made it! It made it easier with all of us doing it together, keeping each other accountable and all Very Happy

**Maggie** Sun Nov 27, 2011 3:21 pm

It really was! I owe a lot to Constance, because she was always in my chatbox encouraging (or just sympathizing with) me when I felt like hurling it out the window. Smile

And now I'm DONE! *gazes at purple word meter*

Sarah Sun Nov 27, 2011 6:42 pm

Me too! I love the purple bar Smile

That's awesome! I'm glad Constance was there for you, I saw a bunch of her tweets and it was like she was the motivation fairy just going around getting everyone to write more xD

**Maggie** Tue Nov 29, 2011 10:32 am

Hehehe, she totally was!

Constance Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:16 pm

Man, how'd I miss all these compliments about me? Razz

Motivating other people motivated me. I couldn't be all hypocritical and encourage them if I wasn't doing what I preached myself, now could I? So really I had an agenda besides the I-love-helping-people. *puts on spy glasses -> Cool

* *hums Mission Impossible theme*
Aaanyways. I'm done, Maggie is done, Sarah is done...! Anyone else? *has confetti that needs throwing*

Sarah Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:28 pm

Oooh secret adgenda, I probably would have benefited from making one but instead I was lazy and used yours to motivate me Smile

Can you believe I've never seen mission impossible? *realizes how sad that is* Oh well.

Yes, who else is finished??? We can all put party hats on and celebrate Very Happy
