inkspotsbyisil.livejournal.comBut, I won on Sunday, and just now remembered to post. LOL!
Total count was 51,660 and the story is far from done. *shrug* If I can get my muses to come back, I'll try and get them to finish.

some after midnight thoughts
Nov. 28th, 2007 02:17 amthemournfulduck.livejournal.comThis is a sleepy putting off going to bed post. I have 5000 more words to write for my Nano (you have no idea how much trouble I had typing that word) before the month ends. I have two more days in which to write them. I can do it but what if I don't? Arghhhh and I have to stretch a whole ending to 5K words. Maybe I'll have the zombies invade tomorrow but I don't know how to talk about that for 5K words. I think I'm going to implement a detailed flashback.
Nano, to me, is all about writing after midnight, at my weirdest, my most incoherent, and my stupidest. And at the height of my inability to type. Maybe I'll write some things before midnight. But the heart and soul of my nano--after midnight. Which makes no sense. But I don't have that much time to write K after K during the day. So what times do you usually write for nano?
So I'm afraid my story's going to end at 48K or 49K so I've been going back in and putting in anecdotes about relatives of characters who don't show up in the story at all or about pieces of furniture and random thoughts. So I'm stretching. A lot of stretching is being done it seems. This novel will be 50K whether it likes it or not.
This was going to be a normal livejournal post but then I realized none of my lj friends know about nano and they won't know what I'm talking about.
So Nanowrimo is starting to draw to a close. For those of you who haven't finished and are still plugging away, any thoughts?
And is your nano turning out anything like what you thought it would be at the beginning? Mine, no.

Writing Community....
Nov. 28th, 2007 06:27 amabsolutelyfatal.livejournal.comI know for a lot of people, if not all people, the month of November is a really bad choice for NaNoin'. I have a bunch going on and a bout of depression didn't help my writing. I'm bipolar and I write best when I'm manic. So November blew for me, I got to 8000, got a few days behind then I lost my job, so I just stopped.
Like some people in this community I plan to have a writing career, I'm a writer and an actor. So this isn't just a monthly thing for me, it just gives me some motivation and a community of people to be involved with. My point is, I would like to create community for those of us who write year round. We wouldn't have a short-term 50k a month sort of goal. It would be something like "This month we are going to get 20k" and if you hit that then you get an e-brownie(NO IT DOESN'T HAVE E IN IT, IT'S E FOR ELECTRONIC, DON'T GET TOO EXCITED.) and your name on our userinfo. We would be weekly, instead of daily, word count posts and excerpt posts. And words of the week. This won't only be for novels though, because I write poetry as well. I haven't figured out all the kinks and all the pro's of this. I just know it would help me motivate myself and having a group of others that are working with me would be supportive.
My question is, who would be interested in this type of community? Do you think it's a good idea? Any suggestions for it?

Exactly 50k?
Nov. 28th, 2007 01:18 pmsyntheticjesso.livejournal.comDid anyone else finish with exactly 50,000?
(I love that NaNo's wordcount always exactly matches my Alphasmart's wordcount, making such shenanigans possible)

Something Light Hearted
Nov. 28th, 2007 01:28 pmmoonbryte.livejournal.comNormally, I take my horoscope with a grain of salt. Today however; check out what it says!
Even though it might seem as if you're behind for the time being, you know deep down that you can still pull off a big win.
You know what this means?? I am going to kick !@! at NaNo and COMPLETE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Even the Universe wants me to win!
15k is nothing to me, the stars say I will complete my novel..and any other Virgos out there will, too!
Of course, anyone else who wants to can be a Virgo until the 30th, then it applies to you, as well!
Hurray!
