NaNoLite?

oh, I'm SO in! I'm hoping to finish by this weekend, actually, so I'm not *too* stressed out for tech week of my show.

Me -- well, double-NaNo-lite. Going for 100K in a month, so to keep on track I need 50K by the 15th. And I want to build a cushion now because I hate falling behind. On track so far.

Go us!

So how are you guys doing so far? I'm at 26K, aiming for 30K by tonight.

10K as of lunchtime; should be more tonight.

This is how I write first drafts whether or not I'm NaNoing (actually, this is my first NaNo, but ya know.) Usually I finish the first draft in about a week. If it takes me longer than that, I start getting all angsty and second-guessing the plot and then it never gets finished.

I'm going to 95-100k the whole month, as well. I hit 11 and some change earlier. I'd like to break 13k by the end of the night. Count me in for Nano-lite.

I'm not aiming for a specific word count (other than more than 50k words), but I want to write a MS that is really good and polished, which means I'll be doing edits as the month progresses. Also, I want to finish the story before the 30th. That's my goal.

~600 to go to hit goal tonight (13,333) and slogging. sleeeeppp....

And, goal. 13,380.

Rock on you guys! I'll cheer you on from the rails!

Next year when I'm not hooked on an election, I'll try for 100k in 30 days.

Of course I said that four years ago and have been scratching my self since. No wonder I can't BIC!

Wow, this is truly an overachievers' thread. I'll go back to an underachievers' thread in a minute!

I was wondering if you people who are shooting for 100K or 50K in 15 days are juggling kids and jobs too. If you are, then I'm really impressed.

I'm at 7000, looking to break 5 digits today, but I also hit two deadlines for paid assignments this week that didn't count towards my Nano count (not that they would have helped -- they were like 1000-word articles that just needed to be written and re-written. The Inner Editor was needed for those two -- it's tough to keep putting him away for Nano, but taking him out for real work!

Job, yeah; kids, only indirectly. (My little brother's play goes up this week, so I've been helping get ready for that, plus all the routine high school stuff.)

Wow. Good luck to everyone here!
I'm a bit ahead of the daily goals, but I don't think I want to put the pressure on myself to finish 50k by the fifteenth. But it if happens, that would be very cool. =)

Not kids and job, but a grotesquely loaded school month (partial exams, then partial proyects, then final proyects, then final exams, all during November) and also I've been struggling with crippling depression for a while. I've discovered that writing helps my depression, though, so once I manage to find the motivation to take my Neo out and put my fingers on the keyboard (hardest thing ever) then I'm all ready to go.

Your insanity is inspiring.

I'm with Dama on the school--I'm also Emily in Our Town--that opens on the 12th, so I'd like to be done with this by then, if possible.

Goal for today is 35K! Let's go!

No job, no kids, and I graduated in May. So, yeah, no reason not to aim for 100k.

Okay, so I didn't hit 35K last night, but I'm still aiming for 40K today. How are you guys doing?
