Be my NaNo friend: http://nanowrimo.org/participants/urbanspaceman23 I've got two ideas I'm kicking around. Next sunday my writing group (and home region) is having a brainstorming meeting, so maybe I'll narrow it down by then.

This is the first year I'm using Scrivener. Pretty sure this is the best decision I've made this year. The novel goes a lot quicker when you can go at your pace, and do the scenes as you're inspired.

Understand 1000%. I'm at 24,063 as of now. I went to the Halfway Party after the sunday write-in today. Then landed at the 24 hour coffee place after I left there. Right now, I'm in the process of writing another pointless flashback that I'll probably chop to hell in December. Woo NaNo!

25,607 - half way!

I just cracked 31,708 before midnight. If I can at least get close to 33,333 before bed, I'll be able to catch up to par by tomorrow. Sunday there's a write-in, so hopefully I'll be able to get a little ahead after the weekend. I fell like four days behind this week, so I've been word sprinting my rear end off just to get caught up.

Apparently, somebody in my region hit a million words on like day ten. No one I personally know, but apparently the website refuses to let her update her word count past 1,000,000 words. How she did it, I have no loving idea. Either way, our region's stats took a huge dip about ten days ago.

Pikestaff posted:I mean, I can see it you type 100 words per minute and you're writing pure nonstop stream of consciousness, maybe? Who knows Qu Appelle posted:If it doesn't have to coherent sentences, one could write a script that pulls words from a dictionary library, and prints them out into a file. Not gonna lie... I'm curious to see what it looks like. Of course, whoever it is has never been to a write-in as far as I know. Everyone just called her by her website screenname when they talked about her word count. And I haven't seen anyone post in the forums by that name. I might as well be writing with SkyNet.

Nethilia posted:Way back in '08, one jerkfuck claimed to win with a stupid number (researched: 2.5 million) by literally copying Wikipedia talk pages and io9 reader comments into his document, wrote his own narcissistic press release about it, and got reamed the gently caress out about it. My head exploded at the phrase "non-linear literary collage.” That takes a special kind of dickbaggery. Not only to brag about plagiarism, but to pretend it's a completely new genre. Anyway, I just cracked 44,502. I should be able to pump out at least 500 more words before I pass out.

TheArchimage posted: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. I got lucky. I went into NaNo with half a story plotted, and I hit 50K with actual direction. Mind you it's rough as hell. Half of it needs to be written, and there's insane tones shifts that should probably be muted just bit. But it's still a story I can smooth out. Plus, most of the write something better later placeholders I put in actually ended up working together.
