whew I didn't write at all yesterday and when I sat down this morning I thought there was no way I was going to catch up. Then inspiration came and I got 2500 words out in about three hours. *cheer* Not behind anymore.

Wow; that's good. Congrats! Glad you got inspiration. ^_^ Hope it was fun writing!

posted another two pages...

Sweet; I'll have to go check it out. ^_^ ...And then get writing on my own Nano story.

By the way, am I the only one who's found that they've written a lot already, yet hardly go to the half-way point on their story? I'm trying to move things along now, but seriously I'm surprised I haven't advanced through the plot faster than I have.

[Debitt]

Oh man, I'm in the exact same boat as you, Photosoph. >.> I vaguely introduced the plot a few days ago, but my characters are goingto be idling for a couple more days until something gets set into motion. I have the feeling I might not finish in just 50k words! :O

Also, I didn't get a chance to write at all yesterday, so I'm trying to recoup it all today. >.<\ Only 1700 more words until I'm done!

[Kawaiikneko]

lol I'm in the same boat you guys. I'm JUST getting into the actually "story"... I wasn't really expected to finish it in 50000 anyhow. I'll just have to force myself to write after Nov.... pfffftt like that's going to happen =_=; At least I know I can do it.

Done altogether... or as in done for the day?

Rofl! I know what you mean. I doubt I'll be writing this hard after November.

Gah; finding it hard to write 1667 per day today. Just have to force-write it and breathe a sigh of relief when I get to that amount. Also... I finally made an LJ account. I think I'm too easily inspired by other people... I've only written one post on it so far (an introduction, really); but I think I might post my story there. Only... my story in its Nanowrimo form has a lot of spam and random writing, so I won't post that. Just the story itself, taking away my rambling introductions and comments strewn through it. And all that other good word filler stuff.
I took the 'neko_supreme' name there as well. I'm starting to like using that username to sign up for things now.

...both. >_> I've been pushing for 1700 a day, but I was out all day with my mom on Friday. XD I was planning to do 3400, but I gave up at 3200. Which isn't bad.

[Photosoph]

I was actually asking whether you'd finished Nanowrimo altogether and reached 50,000 words... but now that I think about it, if you'd done that then you would've probably said it far more clearly, and I would have had to throw a lot more confetti and a dance party to celebrate.
3200's good. I haven't felt like writing much at the mo; doesn't help that my eyes are sore. HOWEVER, it's a beautiful sunny day (finally; it's been raining and we've had stormy weather for a couple of days, despite it being near the end of Spring here. Guess it goes with being on a small island country with both Antartica and the tropics affecting the weather pattern) so maybe I can get outside, enjoy the fresh air and relax my eyes later today. ^_^ That sounds fun.

[Kawaiikneko]

Are you guys still doing okay? I'm past the 35k word mark, but I'm really struggling now.

[Debitt]

D: I'm at 36500, and I'm having a hard time. If I had more time to ponder I'd be able to catch up a bit, I feel like this weekend is just going to get me behind. *crosses fingers* >.</ We can do this!

[Kawaiikneko]

I was at a really rough spot, but I forced myself to wrap crap-prose to get through it and got to a part I had all planned out. It also helps that I'm a tad unsocial around my relatives cause I got 2500 done today =]

Me too! XD

[mechana2015]

I'm in serious trouble folks... I have 7 days to write 25,000 words

[Kawaiikneko]

You can do it! just push yourself!

[yukinon]

Whip it! Whip it good!

[mechana2015]

Unfortunately the last days are also the last week of normal school for me for the quarter... I have 2 concerts, one monday and one wednesday, project proof due on wednesday, a poster due on tuesday and a fifteen page project due the next week...

[Kawaiikneko]

ew yuck *pat pat*

[Debitt]

>.</ You can do it, mechana!

Try your best, but don't stress. (Hey, that rhymes! )

Anyway, since I've not been feeling so great, I've been off CAA and writing for two days. Doubt I'll catch up the missing words, but that's not important. My health is! \*o* Anyway, even if I don't make it to 50,000 this year there's always 2007. And it's been good to finally write down my story.

[Debitt]

*\^o^/* Go go Photosoph! <3 Just do your best, ya!

I'm 8k words off - I won't finish the story in 50k words, that's already clear. But I'm totally in awe at how fast this month has passed and how much I've gotten done. I even have plans for a sequel next year. This is quite exciting.

[Kawaiikneko]

Even if I don't make 50k (even though I WILL) I guess I'd still be happy with what I got.. I mean, 40k is still more than I've ever written before, and this was just one month =] Amazing what a goal and a deadline can do.

sooo... go go go~ =] Press on til the end!

[Debitt]

5k more until the end. x.X Running low on steam. Only 3 more days. I can totally do this.

[yukinon]

Hot chocolate always helped my roommate write.

Yup, my story looks like it'll take more than 50,000 words to wind it up too.

Go go go! *echoes KNeko* You can do it, Kokoro! ^_^

I so agree with you there, KNeko. This has been great even if (and I probably won't) get to 50k. I don't think I've written this much on one story before. All of mine have been about 20-30,000; but mostly around the 25,000 mark. I only got to about 30k once, and haven't done so again -until now .


Mmmm... hot chocolate. For some reason you mentioning that has reminded me of Christmas.
Yay! Christmas! ^_^

[Debitt]

Wha, danke Photosoph! O_O I'm 1.4k words off with one more day left. It's so close I can taste it! How's everyone else fairing?!

[mechana2015]

I'm 15K off... and writing absolute drivel to make it that far by now. If I jsut had made a better schedule I would have been fine but sadly I didnt.

PS I don't mind people reading but I am going to edit out some of the really worthless stuff before I distribute it just so the story makes sense.

[Photosoph]

Well, Nanowrimo's over for me now. ^_^ I didn't really write more, but writing so much per day was straining my brain and making me tired and sending my emotions on a few roller-coaster rides because of said tiredness. =P But I'm happy; I wrote a lot, and I don't plan to just let my Nanowrimo novel gather dust. I'll write more on it, I think, but just not so much each day. ^_^

You go, guys! You can do it! You're both so close!

Yup, like you I'll need to take out some of the pointless stuff I wrote before posting it up. I might even do that today.
Hey guys, do you reckon that those of us who'll post our works should post here or in separate threads? I think posting here could be good; we've aleady got a mini-community.

[Debitt]

^_~ Hay guyz. Two of your favorite CAA'ers just crossed the finish line. Both of them have names beginning with K.

[Kawaiikneko]

I wooooonnnn!!!! *dances with kodai* *plays Queen in the background - you guess the song*

sooo it's official =] I didn't finish the actual story though, and I get the feeling that I will have a much harder time forcing myself to write from here on out... BUT I have ideas, and now I can start revising some parts.

now we need to read each others... I might post it once here and once on another thread, but it's so long that I can't really see anyone stumbling on it and wanting to read it.

^O^ YAAY!

I didn't finish my story either, but I'm excited to - then I can start revising! O_O

Woot! Congrats, guys! I'm still sitting pretty at about 15k ^_^;;;;;;
