NaNoWriMo '14

Do you NaNo? NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) is upon us -- yay!  This makes I believe my ninth year. I've still yet to "win."  Maybe this will be the year!  Will try to do updates along the way.

Off to a great start so far.  I'm writing two stories, an urban fantasy and a suspense/thriller. So far between the two I'm at 3719 words at the close of Day One.  Very happy with my progress.

If you want to be writing buddies, my name on the site is jmwilson529.  What's yours?  Are you participating this year?  Have you in the past?  What's your novel about?  Do you outline/plan or run with the full "No Plot? No Problem!" philosophy?

My husband, 13-year-old son, and I are all participating.  It's a really fun family activity!  My husband closed out the day at 2105 words and my son at 1625 (he's doing the Young Writers Program and has set a goal of 25,000 words -- he's well on his way. Super proud momma!).

NaNoWriMo 2011 begins!

Going to keep this short as I am nearly worded our for the night from getting my novel started, but I am pleasantly surprised by how well the words flowed tonight!  I still need to make somewhat of a "how NaNoWriMo has gone for me in the past" post, but don't have it in me tonight.  I was *hoping* that I could get a word count widget up tonight, but alas and alack, they are not yet ready.  So, I'll just make the declaration here!  My word count so far is 2688 out of 50,000!!  I'm on my way!  Haha -- according to the new (or new to me) stat information on the page, at this rate, I'll hit 50K by November 18th!  I'm counting it more as padding for the days that don't go so well!   Must sleep now as I have a big project in the morning.  Night all!  For those of you NaNoing, hope your night went well.  If it didn't, tomorrow is a new day -- just keep at it!

What's that?  You don't know what NaNoWriMo is?  Go here
