Great job everyone! My total is 53,086. My favorite snippet is: 

My laugh was bitter. “That one? He has spent nearly his whole life locked in a dark room. Is there truly no one else among us who would be better than that one?” I looked about. “There, that one is a prince of some sort. That one is a governor. I would at least hear a…[Read more]

I forgot to tag you in my reply 🙂

I got excited! Great job guys! I started writing a novel I’ve wanted to write for years and I can’t stop! Well, see you on the other side; I’m off to write some more (even if it won’t count for this War)! (is that to many “!”? I think it might be 😛 )

@j-a-penrose My total count is 32,373 words! I wrote a lot on Fire Moon, started a new story, composed several poems, and did a fair amount of editing. This might be the most I’ve ever written in one month!

Wonderful job, Parimi Alca! *claps*

(And that was a very interesting snippet, @cassie-hartfinh! 😀 )

@cassie-hartfinh No worries, Cassie. Even if you didn’t make your goal, you still did AWESOME! *throws confetti*

@julia @evelyn Woo hoo! Congrats guys!

Well guys, the first day of the month I wrote 24 words, and today I wrote almost four thousand! So I’d call my month a success!

@j-a-penrose My total is 14,002. Much better than I ever thought…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose

Okay! Final count: 50,839.

*cries* *sobs* *cries some more*

I couldn’t do it, guys.

*sniffles*

I tried, I really did. I got to 30k, and then I got so busy and sick over the month I couldn’t do much more. I’m sorry!!

My final count is 37,500, from all of the writing I did both by hand and…[Read more]

My dear @evelyn, are you secretly a ninja? How do you get all this classified information? 😛 Thanks for letting us know!

@pursuewisdom Hey, welcome to the best guild! Pleased to meet you! *bows* I’m Steward, the crazy person with an obsession for wolves, tiny dragons, pine trees, grammar rules, similes, and the Wingfeather Saga. I’ll…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose

Yes, Master Sith is way cooler (? I think they call them that, right? I can’t remember now.)

😀

@j-a-penrose

Thank you, Master Jedi. I shall look forward to it!

PARIMI ALCA FOREVER!

BTW, I love Tolkien but haven’t actually read LoTR – I know I need to! 🙂

@j-a-penrose Six? Yay!

Sorry to get ahead of ya though. 😛

…I said nothing earlier… 😉

Hey @j-a-penrose, are we going to be added to the Guild War Hall of Fame soon for our Word War win?

@j-a-penrose Eeek! I’m in a lot of suspense already because of your random hints about secret guildmaster plans. xD

Well, this was fun! I shortened what I could, but it ended up going over 500 words, so I hope you don’t mind.

Sides heaving, I clenched the door frame to steady myself. My breathing echoed in my ears, loud enough to hear over the…

*explosive sigh of relief while collapsing* Well, it was a small and hard-won battle with all the Thanksgiving craziness going on, guys, but I finally got to 33,000 words!! Hopefully will make it to 50,000 by month’s end!!

Favorite Snippet: Drent struggled to hold Rona down. He looked at Vorok, his eyebrow cocked in uncertainty. “I wasn’t awar…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Okay, let me try! 🙂

10.

She rammed against a wall, hiding behind its meager shelter as the bullets finally caught up with her.

9.

She risked looking out, only to jerk her head back in to avoid being shot.

8.

She had to move. She was literally a sitting duck here.

7.

One deep breath.

6.

She pushed herself to her feet,…

@j-a-penrose it is 😊

@j-a-penrose Okay, guys, new total!! (Sorry I blinked out of existence for a few days. I caught the flu, and just now got better. As a result, my total is slightly smaller than what it was projected to be. But I still did quite a bit today, at least)

My total is: 30,718 words!!!

Favorite section: Her brother took her silence for grim…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Yeah, that’s probably the easiest way to keep track of everything 😛

@j-a-penrose Good grief. Pre-made plot twists? I had no idea such abominations existed. 😛 I mean…how do you have a plot twist that ties in to character arcs and theme when it’s a random one picked off the internet? Yikes.

On the topic of cliches, part of the premise of the story I’m working on right now is that the characters start to fail by…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Nice. Actually, it was more the moms and the teacher who were making noise, not the students. xD I’ll get used to it eventually.

Oooh, good one! *thumbs up* (I’ve had my non-writing friends tell me almost that exact same thing.)

GUYS. I BEAT MY DAILY RECORD WITH A (rather small) COUNT OF 1278! YAY!
