Do not attempt to keep pace with Nethilia's word count. That way lies madness and carpal tunnel.

Also I decided for this year I'll be writing fanfiction. So if anyone has been holding out on participating because they're afraid they'll end up as the biggest loser writing the worst garbage, have no fear. The position is taken.

Just checked out their stats. Pfff. Bring it on this year. I’m writing at least three books at 150,000 minimum

I'm really glad Stranger Things 2 came out last month because the soundtrack owns while still being atmospheric enough that it doesn't distract me too much. I'm writing something with a bunch of mythological creatures and monsters so it gets me in the right mood too. I've been looping the Nier Automata soundtrack for months now, so having something new for a change is nice too.

What do you all usually listen to for writing? Tone-setting music? Whatever you'd normally listen to when not writing? Cold, dead silence?

I have three playlists (so far). I also have a noice making app, with just rainfall, crickets, fire, that sort of thing.

I have a non words playlist , all soundtracks (including stranger things!) and Ambient style music. That’s my deep focus, if I’m having trouble playlist. I have one playlist it’s an hour and a half of pop and dance music if I’m dial down and going. And lastly, I have a 12 hour playlist of music that I enjoy that’s good for just mixing it up, On shuffle. The playlist also has songs the main characters in one of the romances I’m writing for Nano.

Word count update. 2000 so far, but it’s early in the afternoon. Hoping to get another 10,000 before I crash tonight.

Had a bad day. I’m at 10,000 so far. Only 4,000 today. Total slacker. I’ll pick up speed tomorrow

I don’t mind that the NaNo website sent me an encouragement email for hitting 5,000 words, but I hope it doesn’t do it every 5 grand.

It does

I have 41500 words, a hosed up tropical disease, and nothing on my schedule for the next 36 hours other than sleep. Who's with me for for one final push?

I fell behind, and am at the same amount ish. Going to go to the gym, and then go finish this book.

Final count, 55,000. Now waiting winners page to update so I can get Scrivener 3.0 for $25.00 :). I was on track for 150,000until my back went out for two weeks and I literally couldn’t get out of bed. That was rough. At least I won.
