Yay, Bay12 NaNo. Here is me.  Figured it wouldn't hurt to say hi, and you may add me if you wish. Cool to see we have so many Bay12 NaNo'ers.

Victory is mine, more than a week early and for the second year in a row. I'm going to go take a day off.

There's plenty of room up here, you should all come join me!

6,000 words. Gods, I wish this was in January or August or something.

Woooooo! Great job Darkmere.   Hoping to join you soon.

Wonderful job at finishing so early! 

I guess that I’m still on track for hitting 50k in November even if I’ll be far from finished.  I’d like to have gotten more done so far this weekend but had some issues with digging up and moving past old ideas and characterization.  To everyone still plugging away, best of luck to you hitting 50k by the 30th!  I know I’m still trying to get a day or two head to work past any downtime I might need for Thanksgiving.

Everything you need to know about Luminant Space:

"With a sigh and a regretful glance at the cruiser, Ibott shifted past, struggling a little as a swarm of Rays blasted past on borrowed fusion energy. I swear, space winds caused by exhaust are just possible enough to be used in a bad sci-fi flick. The real world, though?"

Reached 50k in 25 days. Wheeeeeee~ Now I can ignore the manuscript for the next month or ten.

Grab a seat in the winner's circle! Congratulations! I'm sure there's more on the way...

[Sappho]

Congratulations! Well done!

I'm about 2000 words behind as of today. As long as I get something written each day, I'm cutting myself some slack. I'm willing to devote extra time on the weekend to finish it up.

I updated my ISGs, so I feel some writing guilt assuaged.

I wish NaNoWriMo were in August, or some other reasonably chill month. November starts off pretty easy to manage but as the holidays get closer I just have less and less time for writing. Or doing any other leisurely activity for that matter :<

Not to mention being crunch time for uni stuff.

Yeah, I have to agree, November is a pretty terrible month for this event. Anyone involved in education, students and teachers alike, has a lot of extra work at the end of this month. And Americans all have the holiday pressures as well.

I suppose there are problems with every month, though. Many (most?) schools start at the end of August, so I don't think that would work well. December is obviously out. January might work, but doing anything in the middle of winter is asking for extra stress from depression.

I'd say the best month for this would be July, when I don't have any work pressures, but a lot of people travel during the summer, so that wouldn't work, either. Or maybe October. On the other hand, they do have Camp NaNoWriMo during some of these months. It's not exactly the same, since you set your own word count, but still, it does exist.

A winner is me.  On the morning of day 28 I was able to validate with just a little over 50k in words.  I watched the video, downloaded that thingy, and clicked a link or something.  Now I need to figure out an outline thing to keep going and make this hot mess of text start making some sense.

Words for the word count desu!  Text for the text document desu!

[Sappho]

Congratulations!

I've still been limping along with under 1000 words most days this week. This weekend is going to be rough, but I'll make it. I think I still have about 8000 words to write...
