I didn't see an official word count post this time around, so I'm posting my own post. Please let me know if that is not allowed.
I kind of forgot about JaNoWriMo until last night (New Year's Eve), and due to working on other things and having to go into work tonight, I didn't get to writing until just before midnight on January 1st/2nd. Oh and also I had had to print out and paste the part of chapter 7 that wasn't in my handwritten MS notebook into it, which took some time.
Anyway, in an effort to once again write every day, I set a 10-minute timer and wrote. So here's the count:
Tuesday's Word Count (1/1/13): 125
Total Word Count: 125
Although I am continuing my NaNo novel, I'm starting a fresh word count, since I figured we were supposed to do that. Or not. Not sure how JaNoWriMo works. Is there a word count to shoot for like with NaNo? Or are we all just setting our own word count goals this time? I suppose I could go for 50k again. If anyone knows the answer to this, please mention it in the comments.
Hope everyone's doing well in JaNoWriMo land!

Date: 2013-01-02 02:40 pm (UTC)Gonna try to write today though. Gotta push through and get started. I've had this WIP in the works for a year, so ain't nobody gonna hold me down. :P I refuse to go to bed until I make today's wordcount. Even with a dark computer screen. Can't wait to get this sucker published. ha ha ha

Date: 2013-01-03 08:24 pm (UTC)I think I usually have to let novels percolate for a LONG time. I knock out short stories or flash fiction pretty quickly (when I put my mind to it...compulsive procrastinator here), but novels usually tumble around for at least a year, sometimes a lot more, before I'm ever ready to tackle them.
