Hello, is anyone doing NaNoWriMo next month? Am thinking I might, but a bit challenged time wise right now!

I'm pretty behind at 7229, can't seem to get in the groove, just writing words to fill out the plot in a really boring way. Promised myself I'd keep going tough.

Not doing too well myself so I thought I'd pop in and cheerlead everyone else!

Dietcherrycola, 7k is a very decent chunk already! You will probably find you speed up. Keep at it.

Fivehourssleep Yay, that's nearly a third of the total! Go go go!

Trenzalor that's amazing! You will probably finish first Smile

Randomcatname Well done for making a start. You can catch up - keep at it.

Eatingmywords That's a great start!

And everyone else. Well done! Would love to hear what people are writing.

I ve entered and am up to 20,000 words but whether or not I can keep on track remains to be seen!

Mine is a revenge story, two POV and hopefully dark comedy;)

EatingMyWords · 11/11/2015 16:52

Thanks Countess! waves pom poms back hope you get inspired soon.

I'm glad mine's got 3 POV's so if I get stuck in one I can write a bit of one of the others.

Hope everyone's doing OK.

Ciele, dark comedy revenge sounds great!

Thanks Eating! It's not lack of inspiration BTW - it's time, due to ds1 behaviour /mental health issues, so I am currently running backwards and forwards to meetings and looking after him in what should have been precious writing time. I did Nano 2012 in 3 hours per weekday but alas I don't have anything like that now

EatingMyWords · 11/11/2015 23:01

Aw, I hope your ds gets better and you get a bit of time. (((hugs))) if you want them.

Has anyone 'won' yet? I'm at just over 45K. How is everyone else doing?

EatingMyWords · 24/11/2015 16:02

Yes, got 50k today Grin Going to carry on until the first draft is done though.

Not long to go for you Five.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Well done!
It seems that the closer I get , the less I write!
