3381.
Hey, we’re going! I’m keeping up fairly well, although we’ll see how long that lasts. (Next weekend will be hilarious, what with the football game and parents in town and five hours of LARP going on.)
I’m a little concerned because my story just seems to be so… I dunno, mundane so far. [...]

AND SIX HUNDRED WORDS AHEAD~
4034!!!!!!!
It’s not very interesting, aside from the prologue, but it’ll pick up in a chapter or two. My mantra is “I can always edit later.”
HAHAHAHA

It’s an hour-fifteen into NaNo and I’m already at 1215 for wordcount. Boo-yah.
Hahahahaha.
Yes, it’s one o’clock in the morning!
Granted, this is all probably because this chapter was based heavily on the prototype story that I wrote in March, but I’m hoping this is a good sign.
Decisions, Planning, etc.

Well, I think I decided I’m going to go for the project with the working title “A Wizard’s Work,” mainly because I want to get away from European-esque fantasy and castles and do something a little different. So we’re going to be writing in 1880s America.
The only real problem I have is that I [...]

It’s getting near to time, and I’m still not ready–I outlined part of one of my stories, only to decide to switch at the last second. So now I’m attempting to outline that–and on top of everything, it’s midterms. Hoo boy.
Well, we’ll see if I can do this. Crossing my fingers. [...]

AKA: A good use for gift cards, Y/N?
10k: How Can We Be Silent, BarlowGirl
20k: Hourglass, Kate Rusby
30k: Girl Genius, Vol. 1
40k: Whatever the heck I want, because it’s 40k
50k: NaNo T-shirt
I figure that’s pretty good intervals. Last year I had them clustered at the beginning because I had no idea whether I was going [...]
Busy
Posted by: Carly on: October 18, 2007
Have been very busy lately, but I think I’ll be prepared in time for NaNo. If I can even manage it this year with my schedule, that is, but if I have to drop out, that’s okay. (I can still say that I’ve won once, anyway.) I’ve been doing some outlining for [...]
It’s that time of year again…

And I’m working on the ideas I’m holding in consideration for this year’s NaNo. (Script Frenzy kind of fizzled out after the first 10k, by the way.)
Current idea list stands as:
Crown: Probably the frontrunner. About a farmgirl who finds a magical, sentient, evil crown that everyone else wants and how she saves her [...]
