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

Writing the ending to my first novel (rewrite) right now.
1,000 words can't be too hard, right?

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!

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!

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!

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

 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!

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.

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.

Anyone else here doing Camp NaNo?
I've started my planning, but I won't start writing until June; I promise.

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. |

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..

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!

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! |
