And so JaNoWriMo begins...

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!

Nothing done yet on any of my intended January projects. I was a bit zonked out on new years day, even though it was a very sedate new years eve with my dad and stepmum. Then I had to come back on the train today.

Hopefully on the 3rd I'll be able to sit down and get myself organised. :-)

I feel pretty disorganized too. I basically ignored my novel all through December, so I still have a lot of prep work to do in addition to writing the actual novel. Hopefully we both can become more organized!
