Word Count as of November 7: 5,298Words Needed: 5,614Gah, posted this on the wrong board at first. ^^; This is more of a NaNo rant/fret place than a place where I put ideas.  My novel is pretty junky so far, so I'm not sure I'll be posting much of it. ^^; So far, I'm writing about a withdrawn girl who spends most of her time plying computer games. She finds a violin in her attic and toys with it, and it leads her to search for the violin's original owner. Progress ReportI'm behind on my wordcount, all because I started three days late for no good reason. D: And I've only written around 600 words today, and I need to go to bed soon. Must catch up...

Word Count as of November 10: 5,930Words Needed: 9,407Wah, I'm losing inspiration for my novel. I don't really like writing random things, and I have the worst urges to go back and delete everything, but it's kind of too late for that. I almost wish I'd chosen a fantasy genre, as I know it would've been easier for me to crank out a cliche story about magic. Guess it's not too late for a faerie to pop out of the violin. Progress ReportI'm even more behind on my wordcount 'cause I didn't write at all for the past couple of days, and then today I procrastinated. ><; So now I have about an hour to write. Goal for weekend: To catch up with my wordcount. Is that too much to hope?

Well, if you're not happy with what you're writing, you'll never get anything written. All you have to do is throw in something you like! Toss in that fairy. Write in a magical creature. It's your story, make it what you want!

It's your story, make it what you want! You know, you're right. ^_^ I've been trying to make this something great, yet that's not the point of it all. I wanted to loosen up with it, but so far I've only gotten tighter. I should stop worrying about the quality of the writing and just write. I plan to put in a faerie tonight.  |

Ooh, I just had pie. ^_^ Delicious apple pie. In other words... Word Count as of November 11: 10,039Words Needed: 5,406I'm in the five digits! I'm so proud of myself. I wrote over 4000 words today (and I'm a fairly slow writer, so that's a lot). ^_^ The faerie inspired me. ^^ Progress ReportA cynical faerie popped out of the violin, and now I'm happy to be writing again. ^^ This'll be a cliched story about magic, but it's fun, and that's the whole point. Yay! ^^ Plus, I've caught up so much on my wordcount. If I get 5,000 words tomorrow, I'll be able to go back to just aiming for my daily wordcount. ^^ Goal for tomorrow: To catch up with my wordcount. Not too much to hope! ^^ |

Congrats getting to 15k.
Just a little question, though. How do you figure you're only 2k behind? Because by the fourteenth, if you're following the 1667 rule, you should be around 23k? Not to discourage or anything. xP You're doing great.

Not to discourage or anything. xP You're doing great. ... Bah. Can't trust these widgets nowadays. xP Erm... that negative number on my widget is supposed to be how many words I need to catch up, isn't it? *pokes it curiously* Ah well, I was kind of wondering about that... thanks for telling me. ^^ So... yay! I'm only around 9k behind! Edit: Ohhh, I get it. The widget is telling me how many words I need to write per day to catch up. Whoops. |

As I feared, today was burnout day. Also I spent time writing a silly NT story. Well, at least I wrote 1k today; I'm not that far behind yet.

Word Count as of November 16: 21,194Total Words Needed: 28,806Words Needed Per Day: 2,216Wow, I wrote all of 24 words today. Gyah, I'm losing motivation. Nooo! I'm balking at the idea of writing 29,000 more words on this thing. T_T *sudden idea* "... And all of a sudden, all of the previously introduced characters and settings vanished and the reader forgot all about them. Now, it was night in a little village at the edge of..." ... A smoother transition would be better, methinks.

My novel is pretty junky so far, so I'm not sure I'll be posting much of it. ^^;
