ohhhh geez. This is going to be a fun month for me, I can tell. Have written roughly only three hundred words today. NOT GOOD. Especially since these next two weeks or so are going to be oh so busy and filled with school work and tests.

I no longer feel so bad. I atleast have more words than Baty right now. xD But not by a lot. Tomorrow is going to be word count catch up, and hopefully some padding too. I really need to get past these few awkward chapters and get to the good stuff. :3 |

I posted an excerpt, the very first part of my story... http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/74343
Or if you're too lazy to click: Chapter 1: A Fateful Letter The mirror in the front hallway reflected his movements as Johnathan retrieved the mail from the catch-box behind the slot on the front door and sorted through the letters. It was the usual assortment, save for one letter which caught his attention because it was much thicker than the rest--and addressed to his wife Catherine, but with her maiden name, Harker; an odd thing, since they had been married nearly six months now this April. The return address was a law firm in Northampton; Harker & Moore. He wondered whether it was merely coincidence. "Is the mail here yet?" Catherine asked from the kitchen as he came back down the hall. "There's a letter for you. Looks important," he responded, and sat down at the small kitchen table. She dried her hands and came over to pull up a chair beside him, her wavy brown hair falling over her shoulder in the way he so adored as she tipped her head to the side, then brushed it back. He handed her the letter as he looked through the rest. "Bill, bill... this one's for both of us, looks like an invitation of some sort..." he proceeded to open it as Catherine was still picking at the back of her letter, determined to work the seal loose rather than tear it open. "Do you know what it is?" he inquired. "No... I don't know what it could be. It's from the family lawyer, though," she answered, and he watched her work her fingernail up under the seam and finally tear the envelope open, slow and straight, the letter he'd opened forgotten on the table, unread. She teased the teased the thick, folded papers out slowly, deliberately, and unfolded them before smoothing them out on the table and scanning the first page. "What is it?" he asked, leaning forwards across the table and reaching for the papers, but she took them up in her hands and would not let him touch them. "It's... I've inherited some property, it seems." "What? You didn't tell me anyone in your family had died recently." She shook her head and continued reading avidly. "I didn't know anyone had," she replied as she ran a slender finger over the lines on the page. "He was... my great-uncle, it seems. My father's uncle, Aloysius. I believe I only met him once, long ago when I was a little girl. My father never talked about him much... I recall him being called a rather eccentric person, with strange ideas and habits." She fell silent, and moved to the second page, placing the first on the table. Johnathan took it up to read for himself. |

So, it's the 3rd and I've already ditched two story ideas / attempts. I'm kicking myself for that, but they're both novels that I want to spend more time on. So I'm just writing this time, and seeing where that takes me. Hopefully somewhere interesting. <3 |

Not quite sure which story idea I want to work on either.. I have a few in mind, including the one that I wanted to work on last year. Ah well. Shall see where it takes me. xD Not going to start on it until probably the 5th because of school-related junk, but eh. Will do better than I did last year! xD
Good luck to everyone else participating~ |

*twitching*
Mom kept pestering me to stop feeling sorry for myself and write. I AM GOING TO GET HER FOR THIS. I don't think it's a sign of good writing so much as really good imagination, but I've given myself the creeps. My main character, her daughter, and a mysterious child are currently being menaced by a pack of shadow dogs and their owner, in the middle of an abandoned town. And it's only going to get worse. |

I'm probably only going for 30,000 now that I think of it. I just can't write over a thousand words a day. Maybe when I get to a part of the story that I don't need to think too much about and can just write it out.

I'm a few shy of 7k at the moment, which I think is good. I also did some of my characters in the tektek gaia avatar maker thing, but I've not uploaded them yet.

Spindra Airelesanya Hey guys... this is my first whack at NaNo and I'm off to a bit of a slow start, but that's how I am with anything. I am super excited about it though. ^.^ I'm a first timer too, and also pretty slow. Oh well, we got plenty of time, eh? How many words are you at right now? When I posted this yesterday I was at about 497, and I was just able to double that throughout the course of yesterday. I hope to tack on a lot more today, hopefully I can keep myself from getting distracted. stressed Curse you, Smash Bros Brawl, curse you! |

Woot! Day three! If I meet my writing goal for today I should have 5k and and be a 10th of the way there!
