Remodel and Nano?  Crazy....

I'm ahead.  Way ahead actually but I cheated and took a day off work and plowed through 10k in about 8 hours that day.  I plan another 10k this weekend then I'll be about halfway.  Of course I'm shooting for 75k not just 50 so I need a fast pace.  I also had my whole plot outlined and character bios written before I started so I'm actually prepared for once.

Oh yeah.  This thread is for those who are behind and not for those who are ahead to brag.

My bad.

AH TINA i totally feel your pain. I have almost full time work hours (4 days a week x 8 hour shifts) exams for the last semester of my uni degree AND nano....yay? X_X

I thus far have a total of er nearly 300 words. and struggling. i am trying to write today but i just cant get it out!!! should i consider a different novel idea? hahaha i dont have time -.-

help....

lol xo

I'm slooooowly trying to catch up. Last night I managed to get my total word count up to 4,772, and put myself at only 1,886 words behind, plus of course the other 1,667 words    for today . .  . . Okay.

I'm getting in the NaNo groove, and since I've actually got to sleep a couple of hours, and the damn carpet/tile people won't be back until Tuesday , I'm convinced I can catch up sometime during the weekend.

Who else is gonna be sqeezing every NaNo word they can get out of this weekend? 

Shadow, Congrats on finishing the prologue!    (I'm still on my first damn chapter and meant to be on a totally different section hundreds of pages away by now )

Well, of course you can, Ann. 

Just have your MC waiting in a crowded dentist office, sitting beside an overworked teacher who reads off everything she's writing down:

MC decided to strangled the woman sitting beside her, apparently a teacher in bad need of a vacation, if she didn't shut up soon.  She was in a frenzy to scribble in her gradebook, then reached into a tote bag with an apple for the teacher logo emblazened across the front, and pulled out a stack of what appeared to be report cards, reciting every damn thing she wrote down.  "Mary Sue Louise Simms has, let me see now, an A+.  Billy Bob Jenkins the first, that little scamp barely managed a D-"

My ass is still really woeful, draggin' literally since day one. 

I'm sooo close to finally getting caught up, for the first time this year, and my blue graph is just almost touching that purple line.  As of tonight, I'm only behind 1,610 words, so I really, truely hope to catch up before the halfway point Monday.

Anybody else still a-draggin'? 

I've got 10,000 big ones to go. Tirz, seems we'll be bringing up the rear big time.
