One hour and twenty minutes left for me, but I'm not going to start tonight. I'll go to bed now and will then try to write something early tomorrow morning.

Of all the weekends in the year, this is the one where I've volunteered to help giving emergency aid classes to medical students in their first year. Why does this have to take place in November? I'll be busy from early in the morning until late in the evening and will barely have time to write. What a great way to start this year's NaNo.

[Sirius]

I can already feel myself procrastinating and it hasn't even started yet. That's a bad sign, right?

And I have a feeling my plots either going to come together when I start writing or completely fall apart. I fear the latter.

[Kat]

It's already almost noon on November 1 for me, but I still feel...bleh.

Absolutely unmotivated.

[Jason]

Just 38 minutes left for me. Kat, I would suggest music at a time like this.

[Kat]

Music doesn't work. Neither does Gundam 00.

I'll be off to the mall and I'll go to church later on; I'll see if I get inspired later on. Agh. I know this is only my third year, but NaNo is quickly becoming...well, a routine.

[♥ Azzie]

Ten minutes to NaNo for me!
Imma write just a bit tonight.

[Sirius]

Four minutes. Oh snap, I'm excited. Trying to get into the mood.

[Jason]

It. Has. Started! For me anyways...but since mom wants me asleep...I'll rebell for a little bit.

[Kat]

Sorry, guys. I'm officially getting out of the game. It does feel like a routine if I do it every year, so I'm sitting this one out. Maybe if I get a sudden bolt of inspiration I'll start and catch up, but that's a very tiny maybe.

In that case, I'm wishing you all the best. ^_^ I believe in all of you!

I think this may be the smoothest I've ever seen the NaNo site run on November first.

Yeah, y'know it's actually not bad. It loads a little slowly and once in a while I'll get a "We can't get this page" or whatever thing from Firefox but it's not like I can't get on at all.

I'd say everything will probably be okay be the fourth or fifth. That's probably when a large chunk of people will be like "Too harddd!" and stop visiting.

So many times I woke up this morning and said, "Omg it's NaNoWriMo!" but then went back to bed because I was tired from Halloween. XD

I officially started sometime around 10:30 this morning. XD Funfun.

[Elcie]

=D Yay. I started at midnight last night. XD I wrote about 2k, took a break to do random junk and watch Fruits Basket with Rain and Fenny and LC, and then Rain and I returned to writing. So I realized that I hated what I'd done, completely overhauled it, and went to bed at 6 AM with a modest wordcount of 1500.

And this morning after I woke up I wrote 200 more and I've got my daily count done at 11:35 AM <3333 So happy!

[Celestial]

I wrote 1,000 words from midnight to 2 am today before going to bed and another 1,000 now. Strangely I can't motivate myself to write any more. But at least I have my minimum quota done for today.

Must...push...myself...harder...xD *procrastinates*

[Omni]

I found out that Google Docs does indeed have a word count option. You have to bring it up every time you want to check, and close it before you continue writing, but it's there.

On another note, would someone tell me how you get those word count/progress bars?
