Urgh. I did this last year. Got 57,356 words done by the end of Novemer. A lot of it was random thoughts of the protagonist, but it didn't turn out too bad suprisingly. Had one hell of a time forcing myself to spew out at least 2000 words a night.

Welp, I signed up. Let's see how long it takes me to give up. Takin' all bets.

i've got a blank word document in front of me, and i know how it's going to start, but i haven't started typing yet. i decided i needed some music to listen to while writing, so i am downloading the songfight archives. the whole archives. i've gotten through most of the B's... hopefully it will finish by the time i get home from work tomorrow night...

I wrote two paragraphs last night!

They're two totally bitchin' paragraphs, too.

I am totally going to win.

one of my self-imposed rules is that i must listen to merzbow while writing the novel. not a word can be written without merzbow playing.

1400 words in. See you at the finish line!

starfinger · Post by **starfinger** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 10:08 am

I wrote 336 words, and thought it was 1700 because I didn't know how to interpret the output of 'wc'.

I'm doomed!

I'm attempting this. I say attempting because 50,000 is an awful lot of words and I only have a small brain. I am presently 0 words in, though I do have an idea.
Good luck to the rest of you.

this is turning out to be fun.
who knew writing could be so entertaining.

2100 words and counting. boo ya!

I just found this thread. NaNoWriMo is the shit! Good luck to all you do-ers! I did one in 1999 and it was so much fun. It's crap, but it's not unreadable. There's a kind of zen in writing just to put words down, knowing full well that no one, not even yourself, is likely to read them.

Go go go! 50,000 or bust!

14,725 so far. i have to get to 16,000 before i can do my homework and then go to sleep. and then get up at 7:15 to go to my 7:30 class. because that's how i roll.

I am in. But, I'm doing the math, gotta write 2400 words a day from now to month's end.

Gotta try...

jimtyrrell · Post by **jimtyrrell** » Tue Nov 09, 2004 9:24 am

I'm at 14,600. Still behind schedule, but not by much.
It feels like it's going to be tough to keep this story going for 50k words. But we'll see.

tonetripper · Post by **tonetripper** » Tue Nov 09, 2004 10:29 am

I'm in too. Not sure where to start as it is a lot of words for a short period of time..... we'll see if it goes..... am I crazy?!!

don't worry about where to start, just START.
that's the whole point!

ummmm, ok i'm out.

what was I thinking...no time. I commend all of you who will get this done or somewhat done. Next year I'm in for sure, but this year is cutting me no slack in the spare time department.

I hope there will be some links to work completed here though!
