Posting my day 4 number because it's pretty: 11,111. I find it a weird method of motivation to write my way to a number I like the look of. I once wrote 1.3 k in an hour because I hated the way a number looked.

So you know how I bitched yesterday that a massive power outage caused by a windstorm would not keep me from my projected win date of today?



I meant it.

I still need to write 10k more to cover my Toxx number in the Long Walk, but that's easy enough. I'm mostly proud that even with a power outage, I managed to hit the projected day I ended up setting by Day 3. Because gently caress letting a power outage gently caress me over for Nano.

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.

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.
