So, how did everyone's first day go??

[pixy0stix]

I'm waiting for my kid to go to bed so I can complete 500 moreish words. I start at the beginning and plow through.

[smock]

I started at the beginning when I woke up early this morning, and I'm hoping to hit 3k before I turn in tonight. I need to build up my word count since my mom is in town and I won't get much writing done this weekend!

[pixy0stix]

Overachievers.

[Awkward]

I wrote almost 1200 last night after midnight to build up some kind of cushion if I get behind. Tonight I'm going to write another 1600, but I think I need to reevaluate how I'm approaching the opening scene.

[smock]

No re-evaluating! Power through! I just hit 4k!

[pixy0stix]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd... I hit my goal. My brain is mush, time to call it for the night.

[Awkward]

Ugh, I know editing is the biggest pit fall, but it's haaaaaaard.

I used to have a post-it note on my computer monitor in college that said "The perfect is the enemy of the good." I think that just about sums up the attitude I need to adopt for this challenge.

[AJL]

Currently at 2040 words. I think I can probably hit 3000 before I head to bed.

ETA: 3063. I'm done for tonight. Good luck to everyone!

I hit around 1700. I'm pleased. My writing sucks and I have so many mixed verb tenses. I'm scared to see what I have at the end.

I struggled with the beginning for a while but finally found something I could build off of. I only have about 5 paragraphs but I intend to catch up now that I know where I'm going.

You guys are awesome! I'm an embarrassment.

This is definitely how I feel. The worst part is that I'm working on a sequel, so it's not like I have to figure out my characters or plot- they're already made! I always start off slow though, so I'm not too worried. Yet.

I don't know how I didn't see any of these posts before. I have decided to join you folks. I started about an hour ago an I have come up with about 300 words. It's late so I will really start tomorrow. I still need to figure out my plot an the rest of it but I started setting the scene for an idea I have had for months. (Have always wanted to write a book but never finished any of my ideas)

2,486 and I don't like it. I'm not going where I wish to and where I am isn't quite working either. But I'm plugging through. PLUGGING THROUGH I SAY.

And I started from the beginning.

[belovedbride07]

Okay, I finally did it. 1850 words, two glasses of wine, and three chocolate chip cookies.

I started at the beginning...I think. I'm not loving the story, and I keep vacillating between two paths I think it could take. But, hey, I sat down and wrote something!

[madisen]

1,824, done for the night, and started at the beginning.

I see quite a few of my nano writing buddies didn't post word counts on the nano page. This is a reminder to post in there if you forgot.

Hats off to squirrelly on and her 4,000+ wc! Karma for all the blessings she doled out to the rest of us....and hard work too.

Confession. I fell asleep right when I was supposed to be working on my novel. I have about 3000 words to kill today. Fail.

[clickerish]

I'm behind. But that's what Friday evening is for!
