I'm a good girl My word count is 0

*discreetly deletes the half paragraph she'd already written*

Dang, I was going to come in here and post Zero, but I see I'm fashionably late to the party.

Now that brings to mind an interesting stat - how many misspellings will your novel have?

*mumbles something about that first chapter written this spring*

I'm rewriting it from scratch, I SWEAR! Because I did the same thing with my 2005 Nano book, and I keep having to rewrite and rewrite the stupid first chapter and it still doesn't fit with the rest. There's just something about Nano....

word count zero

Although this was not during nano, my best typo ever was typing i had sex brain surgeries. I should have typed six.

i can haz prize now?

I once typed that a department was stuffed with professionals, instead of staffed.

That one was at work, not a NaNo novel, but I still love it. I probably brought it up last year too, knowing me. I have a limited supply of anecdotes.

Word count: Zero:

(wasn't that a William Gibson novel?)

*runs away*

I was wondering how a thread on wordcount could have 15 replies when NaNo doesn't start for 11 hours. Ya'll are silly.

That's actually a nice turn of phrase.

Last night, I typed out five different opening sentences and solicited my wife's opinion on them. I have now chosen one of them. However, I don't think those words count toward my total because they are in a totally separate document. Also, I have a two-page brainstorm/synopsis. Those words are also in a totally separate document.

Thus: 0.

well good lord, if we counted world building I'd already be 10k up.

I win. Mine is 11 words long.

Mine's currently at three words, so .

(But if y'all peek at the title thread and suggest something cool that happens to be shorter, that'll go down!)

And, ok, I'm ignoring that post above mine that posted while I was typing.
