Has anyone done this before? How did you find it? Is anyone planning on doing it this year. I'd really like to give it a bash. Think it would be good to do some pre-planning and get off to a good start.

I have hit just over 4000, which is great. I want to be in the position that by Monday I'm having to work out what goes next.

LouisaMayAlcott · 02/11/2019 16:07

I'm at 3500 now and am intending to do another 1000 this evening

CakeRage · 06/11/2019 09:26

I’ve been v absent from this thread but I am actually NaNoing! I’m carrying on a WIP, but I’m only counting the words I’ve written of it in November, so I’m on 8,331, and hoping to crack 10k today. The total word count is 27k - can I finish this book in November?

How’s everyone else getting on?

RockinRacoon · 06/11/2019 19:03

I'm just over 6000 now, hoping for at least 1000 tonight. Ideally I'd aim to hit the 10k also but I have more time next week so can hopefully do a bit of catching up then.

JayDot500 · 06/11/2019 19:37

I've just passed the 8k mark, didn't realise I was this far behind. Once my kid sleeps, I'm going to make a run for 10k!

Good luck!

RockinRacoon · 06/11/2019 21:48

Good luck on the 10k JayDot500.
I've managed to get to 8500 so still behind but I have some free time at weekend and next week isn't as busy.

Witchend · 06/11/2019 23:00

Hit 15k. It'sgoing well at the moment. Smile

CakeRage · 07/11/2019 00:32

Just checked my progress at 12.30am. 10,183.

Gonna go pass out now.

LouisaMayAlcott · 09/11/2019 17:25

Up to 21000 today. Going to try and get to 25k and halfway through by Monday.

Curioushorse · 09/11/2019 17:39

Thought i’d Say hi! I’m at 42,000 words (but started in September. Don’t worry!). Aiming to finish it in November though. Aiming for around 67,000. It’s a bit odd. I don’t normally write particularly fast, so normally have time to replot and redraft as I go along. This time I haven’t re-read anything so have no idea whether it holds together or not!

Witchend · 10/11/2019 00:12

I'm at the halfway point despite not doing much today. I'm nearly at the end of what I knew was happening, so I need to sort out the second half.

Wow some of us are steaming ahead!
I've just hit 21000 so managed to catch up after starting to drop behind.
I'm just worried my ideas and plans for this story may not be enough to get me to 50000 but I'll keep plodding on and see what happens.

IndefatigableMouse · 14/11/2019 20:13

I'm 23k in and about to fall behind tonight as I'm tired, but pleased I've kept up so far. Also not sure my story could be a bit thin - I had loads of chapters planned out but have raced right through a lot of them!

My project had already been started so it's up to about 45k total, but the finished book needs to be about 80k I think really, so 70k wouldn't cut it even if I do finish 50k in november!

LouisaMayAlcott · 15/11/2019 07:53

I'm now up to 32500 which I'm chuffed about as we're just halfway through fhe month. I've got a couple of days coming up where words will be difficult but I don't want to slip behind.

Witchend · 16/11/2019 00:55

I've got to 36000 tonight, so pleased with that.

Did warn dh that I'd just googled how to poison London's water supply so watch out for a SWAT team arrival. He's rolled his eyes at me. Grin
