I'm still plucking along with my revision into chapter four now.

Excellent!

A little slow today, but I kept at it. I had to run a stressful errand this morning and that discombobulated my routine, is what I'm saying. Still, if I look at last at last week, I had one day with about the same result. Plus I'm hitting a kind of a hard passage, so that will be adding to the effect I spect. I kept at it with my small project, too. Just the min, but I'm glad I clocked some bic time for it.

Thanks for the welcome, y'all!

I'm done with my short story.Yahoo!

Congrats!

As for me, wrote half a page yesterday, but nothing today... I should probably work on that.

Layla Nahar · May 1, 2012

feeling good about the work today, hope everybody else is

Kerosene · May 2, 2012

Writing the ending to my first novel (rewrite) right now.

1,000 words can't be too hard, right?

Lizardmaker · May 3, 2012

Good luck with those last thousand words, WillSauger!

I finished Chapter 10.

Congratulations LM!

Checking out - this was a tough week. Toward the end of the week especially. While I did a fair amount less than I would have wished, I did keep going. I also hit a scene that was just plain tricky. I hope my break will let me hit the new week with a refreshed mind. My WIP is at 15% now

If you take the weekend off, enjoy the relaxation, if the weekend is when you work, hope you have a great and productive one!

Lizardmaker · May 6, 2012

Chapter 11 is done!

Keep on keeping on, Layla!

Woo! Go you!
& thanks for the encouragement.

Checking in. Did some writing on my big project. I'm keeping at it!

Hope everybody has an excellent and productive week.

Still trying to write a page a day in my notebook, but I'm not too worried about it right now. I'm trying to revise the first three chapters like crazy in order to submit them into a contest. The deadline's less than a month! Urgh!

Layla Nahar · May 7, 2012

Keeping at it. Got a little more done today than yesterday on the big project, plus put in the min on my small project.

Good luck on your submission KRH!

Thanks!

Here's hoping I don't get stuck revising one thing and have the days pass by too quickly!

Lizardmaker · May 8, 2012

Chapter 12 one-third done.

You are a machine! Love it!

I'm still revising. I'm on chapter 7 right now, but it's slow going at the moment mostly due to having to rewrite a chapter from the ground up with a new character. :/
But once I get through this section it should speed up a little.

Great progress everyone! Stay motivated! :hooray:

OtavioCaetano · May 9, 2012

Hi, guys, I'm signing in.

Urban Fantasy going own on my head, I need focus and concentration! Lots of scenes and ideas came in my head and I have material for a solid story.

Revelations now have 366 words, I will shut down the internet and come back with the first chapter done, wish me luck.

The objective is 1000 words/day after I finish this chapter today.

Layla Nahar · May 11, 2012

Rubay! Chapter 7 revised - way to go!!

Lizardmaker, Ch 12!! wowz!!

Go Octavio! Go KRH!!

I'm checking *out* for the week. Good week this week. Rocky start, but - I have written 20% of my goal. I have just started chapter 5. w0000t!! I did bic time for my small work 4 days.

If the take the weekend off, take it easy, or if you like, hope it's real productive!!

Ha! My Yorkie roots emerge.

Lizardmaker · May 11, 2012

Chapter 12 is done! (Still over twenty more to go, but I'm pleased at my progress.)

Way to go, Octavio, KRH, Layla (chapter 5!), Rubay.

Nice surprise: Came up with a vague plot idea and a title for a sequel I didn't expect to write (for my tween paranormal mystery). Have to focus on the current WIP, but maybe I can whittle away on this new idea, in case I want to get serious about it in a few months.

WordCount · May 11, 2012

Anyone else here doing Camp NaNo?

I've started my planning, but I won't start writing until June; I promise.

Rubay H. · May 11, 2012

I had to Google because I never heard of this.

http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/campnano

It looks like it starts on June 1st and another one on August 1st.

Hmm. I'm dug deep in a revision and it's taking most of my writing time. I might participate in the Aug 1st one, though. I have a nice pulpy sci-fi that I've been holding off of for NaNoWriMo in Nov.

Crayonz · May 13, 2012

Camp NaNo? Yup, yup! I'm going to try for both months, though I don't think I'll be starting anything new. How 'bout you, WordCount, one month or both?

Checking in. Finals made my writing go by the wayside, but am picking it back up tonight. Wish me luck..

I have personal engagements that will go on for the duration of August, so I'll be primarily participating in June.

holy_shiitake · May 13, 2012

Checking in. Just started formal work (beyond planning and day dreaming) on my second "serious" book. Might chug along with it until Camp NaNo starts in June, and then kick it up until high gear during June itself. My NaNo novel last year was a beautiful mess, though, and it's way too all over the place for me to want to take the time to revise it. Maybe I'll just chug along through June and see where the summer gets me. Camp might be good for the camaraderie, though. We'll see!

Layla Nahar · May 15, 2012

Started Chapter 6.
w00t!

Hope everybody is doing great!

Great job, Layla!
Still revising, still punching through some chapters I've had to rewrite completely and I still don't hate my life. I'm content with that for now.

Good luck, everybody!

Lizardmaker · May 15, 2012

Welcome back to the game, Crayonz. Congrats on finishing finals.

Nice to see you again, Holy_Shiitake. Good luck with the new project.

Just finished chapter 13.
