Word warriors

That's about my goal, too.

It's on, like Donkey Kong

My goal is 1667-2000 words a day. I had a healthy start but I doubt it'll last. Can I join too?

I'm in...I'm unemployed so I set a goal of 3,000 per day...mostly to get ahead of the game when that job offer DOES show up! I had a spectacular start on Saturday as well, but also doubt it will last. I have a fairly detailed (for me, anyway) first act outlined, but it's fairly dim after that point. But I do enjoy the sense of surprise and discovery!

Day 1: 3,352
Day 2: 2,734
Day 3: 3,453

Ok.

yeah I just posted a notice over on the M/S/T forum, they have a monthly 500 words a day thread but there are currently some NaNoers posting there who are way ahead of me...so I invited them to come post word counts over here just so I'm not looking like a speed demon anymore.

btw, I have done two hour long sessions so far today and am at 2,689 for the day

wrapping up today with 3,550 for the day.

I seem to be averaging just over 2000 per day, not counting day one of almost 3700.

I broke 10K!

Oh, thank God! People who write at my speed! (slow but steady )

Everywhere I looked I was seeing all these massive word counts after just two or three days and I was starting to feel intimidated.

I started out with a lowly 700 words the first day, then another 2000 the next. Yesterday I managed about 1300, despite the fact I had unexpected company. Today I've added another 1300 but I'm not finished yet.

My goal is between 1500 and 2000 a day.

So far, I've been barely eeking out just over the 1667 per day level...so still on track, but it's been brutal getting to that point each day.

I think this is just about my speed. I'm at 7648 as my total right now. So still behind but not by much. Can I also join?

I slacked off yesterday and only wrote around 800 words. Hopefully I can pick it up again today. Current count: 11,115.

I'm Lady Cat over on Nano too and I haven't figured out how to add buddies yet. There must be some trick to it!

Oh that's right. You need to know the author id... it's such a pain.

Still hitting my daily goal of 3000 with 3,360 today. Didn't really push myself, all that was done in a little over two hours...but I'm very hesitant about starting a new chapter tomorrow, finally introducing the rest of my characters. Hopefully some novel reading, moving watching, and dreaming will give me some clues for tomorrow morning.

I forgot. They turned the author search off and haven't turned it back on. Send me your user #.

If you're trying to link to another user and know the user name, a trick is to send the user a private message. On your "My NaNoWriMo" author page, click on "Check & Send NaNoMail" in the list on the left. Go to "Compose" and start typing in the user name in the "To" box. The site will automatically give you the list of users who match what you've typed in.

Once you've sent the message, you'll have a link in the message directly to the user's author page. Go to that page, then click on "add as buddy".

And good luck to all Word Warriors! Just keep writing!
