Sorry about the word loss, Mccardey. :Hug2:

So easy done.

Way to go, Knightrunnermat! :Clap:

And to everyone else who managed some wordage (and those who had snow days.)

1756 words for me today. I refused to switch on the Internet until I'd completed a scene - don't think I've ever typed as fast.

knightrunnermat · Apr 25, 2012

Thank you! I was on fire yesterday because I am so excited about this new story I am writing. I have been taking notes like crazy. I'm coming up with ideas too fast to actually write them down in novel format, so even though I got over 3k words written yesterday, I am still spending more time taking notes.

I've never had a story come to me like this so completely. Usually I can write one or two good scenes and the rest is garbage. It's really exciting and it is yet one more reason why I love this line of business!

Logan! · Apr 25, 2012

1776 words yesterday. My first new words in a week. Feels good.

It's a great feeling, isn't it? Don't worry about getting the format right, just get the words down. They can be sorted later.

Hopefully, the dry spell is over, Logan. Great word count. :hooray:

Impressed by rockin' counts around here. Muse,
Knighrunnermat plus Shara, Logan, Shakes--
Please bear in mind I'm plotting Act 2's ruse.
But artful words of narrative are scarce.

375 words (if you count the plotting).

Logan! · Apr 25, 2012

And another 2,000 today.

DocBrown · Apr 25, 2012

I hit 1003 words today.

I had wanted to get a few more minutes in the chair, but it was not to be.

heyjude · Apr 26, 2012

307 for me yesterday. Poised for more, but the boy child came home with the stomach flu. It was a busy night...

Marya · Apr 26, 2012

Sat up in bed with a cup of coffee and scribbled 760 words in my notebook. If I can decipher my caffeine-speed-wobble handwriting, I may have the next chapter started.

Good going to all those on a writing roll!

Zelenka · Apr 26, 2012

Only about 142 for me, some of which was from an earlier draft, but my excuse is I'm packing for France, leaving tomorrow, and also a friend has bet me that I won't go to this convention in costume, that I wouldn't have the nerve. So I've spent the last two nights cobbling together a costume.

knightrunnermat · Apr 26, 2012

917 yesterday. I feel like I did a lot more work than 917 words though.

Namatu · Apr 26, 2012

Four pages, handwritten and fairly well-rounded.

kaitie · Apr 26, 2012

I didn't get anything done yesterday, and not even for any particularly good reason. Tonight will be better.

Oh yeah, I did do more research. Does that count?

DocBrown · Apr 26, 2012

Okay, finally finished a big fight scene with 893 words.

I'm coming on strong toward the end of the month. With another 3600 words, I can reach one of my goals of 15k words for the month.

Though it doesn't look like I'll actually finish with this WIP as I'd planned.

In retrospect, I was probably about 10k short of my predictions for an ending word count for this draft.

At least I have a better idea of that now than I did a month ago. I actually know how the story is going to end now.

heyjude · Apr 26, 2012

167 today. Thanks for the :poke:

, Doc.

DocBrown · Apr 26, 2012

Nice!

67 words more than necessary. Don't think you get to use them for tomorrow. :tongue

Zelenka · Apr 26, 2012

Hoping to get a few words in during the flight to Toulouse, which I'm now heading off to catch! (Other than that, nothing last night).

knightrunnermat · Apr 26, 2012

Had another super-productive day yesterday, at least from the novel's viewpoint. 2,968 words yesterday. I am almost at the 10 K mark and I've only been working on it for four days. This might be the fastest written novel ever.

wonderactivist · Apr 27, 2012

Spent half the day with Mr Plumber, rapt
Attention paid to all our leaky cracks.
Today new puddles graced the hallway floor.
So Mr. Plumber's coming back for more.

No words but loads of working plumber traits.

Hope you have a great time in France, Zelenka. Post some pictures of your costume if you get the chance.

216 words today. I've been struggling with a scene, but I think I've finally figured it out, which means I should have more words tomorrow.

WordCount · Apr 27, 2012

Recovered from a massive stage of Writer's Block yesterday. Wrote about 1000 words.

Edit: Add about 400 for today.

DocBrown · Apr 27, 2012

Woo hoo!

934 today and one more scene closer to the end.

Namatu · Apr 27, 2012

Nothing yesterday, and it's unlikely today as well, but I'm thinking.

WordCount · Apr 27, 2012

Add another 4000 to that.

Thanks for the encouragement, Doc.

wonderactivist · Apr 27, 2012

Wordcount, that's bloody awesome. I was just going to proudly post 672 words, but you've shamed me into going back to writing. Gosh dern.
