NaNo and mini Nano Checkin Day 5

[craterdweller.livejournal.com]

Okay folks - time to brag/vent/dance about your day's word counts.

Everyone still feeling motivated/excited? Still liking your project?

Mine still doesn't have a title, but I'm feeling pretty good about it. We'll see how that holds up next week :D

2 Word Wars/Sprints are scheduled for Sat. All are welcome, of course, whether you are doing some sort of official NaNo or not.

Word of the Day 11/05/15 Swimmingly

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

Swimmingly (adverb)
swimmingly [swim-ing-lee]

adverb
1. without difficulty; with great success; effortlessly: She passed the exam swimmingly.

Origin: 1615-25; swimming (in sense “progressing smoothly”) + -ly

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.

Passing the Daily Count Challenge to dracosdreamer

Sigh. Trying to get back into this writing schedule thang, but I only got a measly 150 words. Still, I posted fic the past two weeks--that counts for something, right?

Passing the torch (a bit late) to dracosdreamer!

'Go, Nano, Go' check-in and support

Hey everyone! Isn't craterdweller doing a fantastic job with Nano and mini-Nano check-ins! And all of you are doing so well at keeping those words going!

For our GNG people, now is your chance to check in with how you're doing - are you sticking to the goal you set yourself? Do things feel like they're flowing? What are you working on and what's next? Answer any of these questions or pose a few of your own; whatever you like - this post is open for discussion or to ask for help of any kind from a gentle 'hey, you're going good' right up to the proverbial kick in the butt! If you need help with a tricky plot point or you need assistance with some slang, grammar or points of speech; it's all good - we're here to help!

For the formal Nano and mini-Nanoers, you also can ask about or discuss anything to do with your writing too!

Oh, and I didn't manage to fit in a Word War yesterday, but I'll have a look at doing one tonight between 5-6pm NZDT if there's any interest (that's 4-5am UTC) so comment here if you want to join in. ;-)

And lastly, I would just like to add a general "YAY, YOU!" to everyone writing something! ;-)

Crack me up!

Your prompt:

Your characters play 'what kind of animal would you be?'


I want a graphic or 100 words featuring people as animals. Maybe it's a discussion, maybe they've actually turned, or maybe they are animals and discuss what kind of people they'd be... Hmmm...

No rewards, no deadline, just the cracks ma'am!
