@ayzrules I'm at 4,500 but my inspiration just came back to me. Because what better to do than make the main character have a near-death experience at the beginning of the third chapter?

[WilsonTurner]

@RomanAria
The main character of Rick Riordan's new Nordic mythology series actually does die in the beginning.

[ayzrules]

@RomanAria hahahaha :D you go do that

I'm pretty sure I'm kind of cheating at this anyway, but what the hell-I need the motivation to continue something that's been put on the back burner for months now, and nanowrimo works for me

[Keyguyperson]

Finally made it to 9000 words! Woo! Now I'm only 2000 behind!

[ayzrules]

haha I'm not even at 9000 yet, it's like 8.8k I think

[JGBPhone]

I think I'm gonna do this next year, or maybe writing a mini thing this year. I just haven't wrote enough to handle it yet.

[WilsonTurner]

Yeah, I'm backing out
Too late to start, and couldn't get a real foothold for my inspiration.

[RomanAria]

And I am backing out because it's too stressful and I'd rather focus on stuff that's actually beneficial and fun.

[ayzrules]

writing isn't beneficial and fun?! :O

[RomanAria]

@ayzrules Not compared to clarinet practice.
*looks at the bleeding raw spots on her fingers from where her clarinet keys have rubbed the skin away*
Um.
Like I said: Writing isn't going to earn me a college scholarship. Clarinet playing might. I need to work on the things that will be beneficial to my future.

@RomanAria hey you never know-essays are a huge part of the app

and girl you're fourteen, have some fun while you can! It's okay to devote some time to other things, you know? I'm definitely not spending all my time working on SAT prep and stuff

sure, I do spend a good amount of time doing test prep, but you gotta have breaks sometimes

Have fun!!!! the world is wonnnnnderfulllll, go explore!!! I don't rp because i think that's what college admission people want to see, I rp because it's fun-your future isn't everything. Of course it's great that you're thinking about it, but don't miss out on your life because you're so focused on your future, you know?

Just hit 20k with my meagre 1,100 words a day goal.

It's nowhere near what it's supposed to be as per the suggested rules, but damned if I don't have the most gorgeously consistent graph of the like four people whose pages I've checked out so far.

I think the wordcount right now is somewhere along the lines of 3.5k in the prologue and second chapter, 3k in the first chapter, like 9k in the ridiculously long third chapter and then today's work on the fourth. Probably doesn't feel enough like a science fiction but I'm proud of it anyway.

[Antarctic Termite]

Final day! At 34000 words I can say confidently say I met my goals for my first year. And look at this consistent progress graph wow

[mdk]

KABOOM!

Just a reminder -- RPGC set out to congratulate all the NaNo participants this month. If you took part, stop on by the contest section and leave us a post in the NaNo thread there. Forum medals are in a weird place, but there will be participation prizes for everyone with a verified wordcount. You can check out the details here. I'd love to recognize as many people as we can -- just leave a link to your novel/stats/whatever from the NaNo site, and we'll credit everyone as soon as the trophies are up.
