Huzzah!!!

Rillumen! I return after a day of silence… and I return with nothing in hand. No word count. Tired. Ready to relax. But part of me really wants to get in at least a small word-count. So first off I’m kinda looking for some encouragement (imagine that… with wordsmith just asked for encouragement😂)… Secondly… I’d…[Read more]

Rillumen… It may be Tuesday, but you’re not off the hook! We still have a war to fight, and we need to fight it hard. Not including today, we only have three days left, and whether we likes it or not the war is gonna end. *turns and looks each one of you in the eye*

We just passed the 200000 word marker… but let’s look at a few statistics.…[Read more]

And to all Rillumen! We have six days left to push out an unseen word-count! If each one of us gets five hundred words out, every day of the week… that’s gonna be 60000 words by the end of the week. Think of that… that’s the equivalent of a short novel. If we can do that in a week…

And on top of that… five hundred words can take as few as…[Read more]

So I’m interested to hear how everything is going with you peeps! I didn’t get as many words as I had planned, but I’m happy with what I got.

So today… I wrote a grand total of: 1740 words!

Rachel… how ’bout you? And what about anyone else who accepted my challenge? Did you guys get to push any extra words…[Read more]

So… the mini word-war that I started ended. Here’s my count: 3035… all earned between 11:15 this morning to 9:30 this evening (central time)

What about…[Read more]

Okay Rillumen… today is a day that I’d like to fill with writing… and I’d love for you to join me. Thus I propose a word war. One that ends today at 9:30 p.m. Central, starting at 11:15 a.m. Central (Today November 23rd). I’m doing a few smaller word-wars hopefully.

Let’s do this! Whether you answer or not, the war starts at 11:15 p.m.…[Read more]

Okay peeps! I finally picked up an extra two hundred words from my recent typical 550ish, putting me at 742 words tonight. This totals me out for the month at: 5643 words!

Okay… looking at the spreadsheet, I’m gaining on Quinn (‘m lady) and Miss Brie Donning. Would either of you care to put an end to that? I’m certainly ready to pick up the…[Read more]

Alrighty… goodnight ya’ll. I got 615 words tonight leaving me at 4901. Have a great writing time……[Read more]

*steps up onto podium…*

Okay Rillumen… we are falling behind… and honestly it may not be your fault, it’s probably not… but I wonder what we can do to pick stuff back up. What’s a war without pain a toil. This isn’t supposed to be easy. But we can do it. Even in sharpening each other as iron, something is shaved away. It’s not a pleasant…[Read more]

Wow! Guys! We have almost 48k words for this month’s word war!

We need to be sure to stay on top of this and not procrastinate and think we have the whole month to get around to it! *is so very guilty of this herself*

If we could write (on average) 500 words per day, per person, from now until the end of the month, that would be 190k more words.…[Read more]

I’m realizing that my story is not ready for NaNo yet… :'( So, while I’m still working on it diligently, I’m not going to force it and try to write a bunch of words when neither the author nor the story is ready.

BUT, I can be a cheerleader for everyone who’s sticking with it and…[Read more]

Hey everyone! How’s NaNo going for y’all? I’m already a bit behind… but still going to do my best to push through! Man, didn’t think I’d run out of ideas this quickly. But I guess that probably has to do with the fact that I should let myself be okay with not writing chronologically. Man.

For anyone who’s not already in it, Rillumen has a *very…[Read more]

@happyholly_c

Scene cards are awesome! Basically I just jot down the things that need to happen in my story onto index cards. Sometimes it’s more of a big scene that needs a lot of filling in, sometimes I know down to the details how I want something to go, so I break scenes into smaller “scenes” for my cards…sometimes it’s somewhere in between…[Read more]

@happyholly_c

Well mostly I’m realizing that I haven’t posted about my WIP here yet, so I should probably do that. xD

And I might start doing scene cards tonight. I think I need a better idea of what all I want in my story and generally where I want it to go. I tried to be a pantser, but I don’t know if I can pull it off. 😛

@happyholly_C I don’t need that type of negativity in my life.  😛

jk, but I had two exams and a two-hour class today so to answer your question I’m prepping tomorrow and just gonna be starting late.  (I mean, I’ve been writing character outlines and doing prep for a whole week so it’s not like I haven’t started, I just need a little more time t…[Read more]

@happyholly_c

Aw, sweetie! Colds are no fun! :'( That’s amazing that you wrote as much as you did!

@pookiemonster

Thanks! Also… “everyone looks like a fool walking through a web.” XD True. So true.

@happyholly_c Purpose is actually one of the main themes of my current WIP too, so if you don’t mind I think ill stalk this thread for a while. 😀

@happyholly_c

I do know! Just because I had a cold, I’ve had to take a break from certain leadership positions that required me to listen to debate and discussion.

Thanks!

And honestly, your word-count ain’t to shabby. That’s about one and a half pages, right?

@happyholly_c

Hey there! I’m sorry to hear you got a cold… that really makes it hard to write.
