NaNoWriMo and Mini_WriMo checkin

[craterdweller.livejournal.com]

Good morning campers! Today is either day 20 or 21 depending on your timezone. For NaNo folks that means you should be between 33,333 and 35000 words. It's time to start tying up those plotlines and bring it all home. Mini_wrimos you should be at 2/3 your goal.

How's everyone doing? Starting to see the finish line?

NOTE: NaNo folks that have already passed 50K, you can start checking your official word count at the NaNoWriMo site. Of course, even if you've already collected your winner's goodies you can still keep writing until Nov 30 - or just sit back and cheerlead the rest of us who are still chasing the 50K.

Yesterday I managed to make up a good portion of my word debt. I'm starting the day with 30,668 with a goal/target of reaching 33,333 before bedtime. There's still plenty of time (and one more weekend) for those that are behind.

Question of the day: For those who live in areas with a national holiday during November, will you be writing during your holiday or will you be tied up with other types of activities? I hope to do a bit of both. I'd love to catch at least a few episodes of the 600 episode Simpsons marathon!

Good luck everyone! And as always let me know if there's anything we can do to help :D

I just looked at my total count from Fri to Sun and I managed almost 5K, but I'm a bit disappointed with that output because I really struggled on Sunday and expected to get further ahead. I am just a tad under 40K total though.

I'm going to have to push myself during the week because I have a feeling the story might run over 50K and I still want to finish it on time.

Hope you made your goal! I love that number you chose. :)

Oh and no holidays here for me. Unfortunately I am going to lose at least one full day as my supers have informed me that they are going to be putting a new tub surround in my bathroom so I'll have to spend that day at my sister's place. Ugh!

My goal was 75k this weekend...but I finished a chapter at 270 words short of that...wasn't ready to start the next one...but I'd say the count is close enough for government work ;)

You bet I'll be writing on Thanksgiving; I always do. It'll just be my daughter and I, so no big to-do...and the turkey will cook without me hovering over it. I'll have plenty of time to still get in my count for the day. And since I'll have Wednesday and Friday off too...(and the office is basically closed Monday and Tuesday as well, though I'll be there because we're expecting a big delivery, a sink installation guy, and the office cleaners) I think I should get in some decent counts every day.
Also planning to get some of the moving watching done I've been putting off...and Christmas decorating...so I'll be plenty busy enough lol.
