I remember there being a Nano chat somewhere around here. Is that still around or did no-one make one for this year?

There's usually one on IRC for the group, and I've opened up the regional one I run before. There's been... issues... not with people from the forum but I don't want to publicly post. We've still been pretty dead but if  you want the info PM me.

I'm usually around from about 8 pm onward, GMT-6.

You realise that saying "literally insane day" means you literally went insane for a day?

You missed the comma. The "literally" was referring to not having time to write, not to the day being insane. ;)

Even with the comma, my interpretation stands. With me standing beside it!

Which institute did you use? St. Luke's is good, I've heard. Maybe Bedlam? Bit of a grim history, though, and I don't think it's in "business" any more.

I've now finished Spirit of the Burger Fortress and Geriatric Wagon Siege.

This is so much fun.

Anyone still doing this? I just topped 47,500 words. Victory is in sight!

...

Please tell me someone is still doing this?

I had to give up just past 25,000 words due to real-life problems. I'm proud I made it at least halfway - not bad for not having planned to do it at all. Keep going, though, you're nearly done! Wooooo!

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

I finished today at just over 50000 words. I had a slow start like last year for about a week, then made it up by doing 2k per day until about Thanksgiving, where I was far ahead enough to finish.

Hey, Congrats!

I finished yesterday after being at least 3 days behind for the first two weeks. Finally gave up and started rapid-firing notes for every book idea I've got on the burner, but it got a win so I'm cool with it.

Real life decidedly scuttled the whole endeavour. Which, of course, means that I did. I have some ten thousand odd words scattered in various chapters, although I did manage some write some eight thousand more, albeit in unrelated texts. In brief, quite the disaster.
We shall see. If I get another year, it might go better then. Or, I shall pretend January is November.

That's pretty much what I'm going to do. Start of a new semester and the heat isn't on yet.

I was really behind for most of the thing. On Day 27 I had 32,552
And then I just wrote
A lot
And just barely made it to 50,000 on time
