Word Count Challange!

Alright folks... after reading and responding to a few people in this thread, I've come to notice that there is a large group of us who are behind in our word counts.

Don't worry, I'm SO included in this. Been a rough week.

So... here's my fun challange for the day.

Today is day 7. According to the stats, if you do 1,667 words a day, you should be around 11,669 today.

What I challange everyone today is this. If you are under that goal, reply with your Word Count. Then I want you all to find that time today to write. Forget about the 50K challange for today.

Today, your challange is to get to 11,700.

At the end of your day, come back to this post and reply to your own with your updated word count. See how far you could push yourself today. I'm going to be right along beside you.

And for those who are ahead of the game, feel free to come in and send people encouraging replies to keep them going.

And don't forget the vaulable resources we have here:

Daily Prep Cards

Plot Help Threads

Other Resources like Name Generators and genre topics


do not mistake this for the WC of the day post. Mo will be putting that up later. This is just for the people wanting to take up the challange.

6136. I am way behind but I think I might be able to pound out a few thousand today.

My wc is currently at 5228...so yeah, easier said than done!

Thanks for the challenge.

I'm at just over 10k, so technically, I'm on target right now. But I haven't written the last two nights, eep! Can't seem to get in the groove when I come home from work. Gonna hit a write in tonight, see if new surroundings inspire me.

[identity profile] cloverdilly.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm still only at 5,343, but I am so in! ...After I cram for this Anatomy exam I have later. Groan.

I'm essentially one day behind, so that means I need to find 3 hours minimum to write today. Yikes!

Almost!

Wow, I feel super behind. Even behind the people that say they're behind! (Then again, I started yesterday. That's my excuse.)

I'm at 2266.

If I don't do a lot of stuff I should be doing, I should get a few more thousand out today!

[identity profile] moonbryte.livejournal.com 2007-11-08 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
2812.
I am right along with you feeling super behind!!
My plan is to write tons and tons of words on nights when I don't have work the next day and maybe the baby will go to bed early and I can sneak in some more...I hope!

CRAP I'm at 2,071! I can put off an essay until tomorrow and spend the entire day writing! Hopefully!

*headdesk* For us behinders, I think we should have a goal of like, 3-5K a day y? Go everybody!

*feels your pain* I have a 6w old that's cranky from getting her first shots and is having a growth spurt.

And yeah... I'm only sitting at 4539. Where the fuck is my muse when I need her?

About 4,500 right now. Hopefully this challenge will give me the kick in the behind I need, because I sure don't feel like writing today. :(

[identity profile] koonelli.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, my God. I just tried out the shortcut in your icon and you have seriously made my day.

[identity profile] delphaicdragon.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh. As of this comment, I'm only at 6,671. SO behind. The last few days I haven't written anything because my brain refuses to work. I'm going to try to push myself as much as possible, but with all kinds of real life stress, it's really hard to be creative. [sigh]

[identity profile] puffkrispy.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm at 4307 now. I'm so in!! Even if I just break 10k I'll be a happy bunny :)

[identity profile] rake-la-sly.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)


I think I may be the worst, lol. But I have about 4 hours of spare time, so I may be able to make a dint.

Nope, I'm about 100 words beneath you. :P But that's ok. We'll be at 50K by the end of the month, and that's what matters.

Made it to: 6189
I plan on writing a bit more before I pass out from exhaustion get to bed. I want to make it to at least a nice round 1000 before throwing in the towel for today.

[identity profile] syntheticjesso.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
9035, I was ahead but I had a craptastic day yesterday (complete with tears!) so I didn't write. I will make it to 11,700 tonight or bust.

[identity profile] harpoholic.livejournal.com 2007-11-08 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
No! You will just make it to 11,700. No busts need be involved. *sends NaNo-y vibes*

[identity profile] sullen-hearts.livejournal.com 2007-11-07 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
5638, and I haven't written since Saturday. FAILZOR.

we'll see where the day takes me. possibly going to a write in tonight.

Blame the cats!

I'm blaming my cats, Fletch & Eddie, who take turns draping themselves across my head, shoulders, arms, hands, and laptop. They are cunning. They purr adorably in surround sound so you won't notice, but by pinning your hands they can effectively distract you from writing for hours on end.

Thank you for the challenge. :)
