'Bout that time, eh chaps? Righto. http://nanowrimo.org/participants/thearchimage I'd feel a lot better about winning the last four years if I had gotten any writing at all done outside of November. This time I am starting with nothing; no plot, no characters, no setpieces, no premise. I never had much of a plan in previous years either, but... well, we will see what comes of it.

I'm up past my bedtime but I managed a little over 1000 words in an hour! I'm going to be at a write-in nearly all day tomorrow, so hopefully I can stay at or near that pace!Tiger posted:I'm gonna write a post-apocalyptic "everything just keeps getting worse" story. I don't know if it has any particular name; I can't think of any examples other than Fargo and Breaking Bad. My mission (other than writing 50k) is to have a story that makes people go "wow, what a bad sitch these guys are in, I wonder how they get out" and if they skip ahead a few chapters they're still not out; in fact it's gotten worse.

TequilaJesus posted:Same problem here. It's hard to keep powering through when I know the words behind me need editing. I shall not edit. Editing is the mind killer. Seriously though, editing is for December. If you really think a section needs work, highlite it and move on. Alternatively you can rewrite a troublesome section from scratch so long as you save the original so you can compare them later.

I'm at 7325 right now, I might be able to do another couple hundred words tonight. I'm ahead of par but behind where I'd like to be. I'm helping a friend do an Extra Life thing on the 7th and I want to make sure I've got enough of a lead that I can afford to take a day mostly off.

Yes! Broke 10,000 words! Now I should go eat something besides leftover Halloween candy.

I know this was shared in the previous version of this thread, but was it a goon that wrote up Nano Numbers? It lets you plot out and compare your words/day against your writing buddies on a single screen. It was a great ego boost/motivating factor for me last year, but it doesn't appear to have been updated for 2015. Is there anything else like it?

Just validated at 50,353. That's over 50,000 words of total, worthless poo poo, but it is my poo poo and that makes it glorious in mine eyes. Still going to try and do more, but without the pressure I'm not sure how much more I can add.
