| I'm doing nano! *points at participant icon in sig* I've been writing today, and I'm at 2,085 words, yay me :D The daily wordcount target is 1,666 so I'm quite pleased to be above that and still going lol. I'm not going to get complacent though - 50,000 words is a lot to write in 30 days. Anywhoo, here's my little word count widget:  Good luck to anyone else who's participating! | |

| My current wordcount is 2625, only 707 words off the two day target yay.
My plot is coming along nicely, and I'm getting a feel for the characters, and I hope I can keep going at this rate lol.
I'm still in the first chapter, which sets up the story. I think that I'm going to hit a block when I get to the middle of the story - I know how everything starts, and I know how it ends, and I sort of know how to get from the start to the end, but then there's a grey area of what is going to happen in the middle. Ah well, I'm sure I'll work it out lol. | |

| ah no...you've all given up?!
XD that's why I didn't bother signing up in the first place...but at least you all now have SOMEthing written down, so even if you don't finish in time you'll probably end up with a good story. | |
