I tried this 2006, but I didn't even get close I don't think. *Checks jump drive stick* Nope, 9,000 words. A friend of mine did it for the first time in 2005, and she did finish it. But, she also neglected her studies to do so.

I'm considering trying, but its already 8:00pm on November 3rd, so, by the time I did my pre-writing and outline, nevermind thinking of an idea, I'd be several days behind. I don't have college keeping me occupied and unable to do it, just changing diapers and making bottles.

When I did this before, I used this word meter. I found it helpful and made me want to keep writing to try to fill it up.

I may or may not try.. I think it depends on how long it would take me to pull an idea out of my butt and do the outline.

Good luck to you guys, though!

[♪♪ I think I'm drowning, asphyxiated. I wanna break this spell that you've created.


So, did anyone else do it? If you did, how did you do?

I was faiiiiiiling for ages. My boyfriend was visiting for the first two weeks so I think I had about 4k done during those first two weeks. On the 25th, I was at 19k and almost quit, but kept pushing on and I just passed the finish line at 50,934 words!!!


You're something beautiful, a contradiction. I wanna play the game; I want the friction. ♪♪]

So... Who managed to do the insane? What were your final word counts?

I actually made it (I was convinced that I was going to flop out after ten thousand words)! Final count: 50894.



Congrats to everyone!!!

What? No maybe option? lol! I am not sure. I am still working on the basic concept for my first completely original story. I usually just do FanFictions. I know I probably won't do it. I don't even know exactly where one of my main characters live!

Totally participating. At 16k I'm doing pretty well for week one. This is my fourth year attempting to make it to 50k. I made it to 45k last year, and this time I've got an idea I've been working with off and on for ages and it's finally coming together in a cohesive manner.

I recommend at least attempting NaNoWriMo because it's a load of fun, the forums are way helpful and it's also a chance to do Write-Ins and other fun things.

No one can tell I'm a big fan....no one at all... sweatdrop
