Pardon me for taking over the hashtag this afternoon, #themightypens, but as I'm done with hosting sprints for the team and #NaNoWriMo18 is almost over, I wanted to take a second to send out my sincere thanks to @stdennard and @katbrauer for organizing this great group!
3,967 words this evening later, I'm finally caught up to par on #NaNoWriMo18 after getting behind weeks ago on a weekend away. Should sail to the finish line now... could even be a day early! Look out world, the draft of #ALongWayToFall is coming.
Man, you really don't know how cold your hands are until you hold a mug of warm tea. It's not even that cold outside. I'm going to blame the typing... #nanowrimo18
Okay, so my brain went "nope" at 6,949 words, but I'm calling it a win because I'm at 52,154 words for the month, and I love what I wrote! A good day, and I'll be ready to get back to work tomorrow. #nanowrimo18
I've decided to spend Black Friday finding out what happens when I turn on Self-Control for 5 hours and say "Can I hit 10K words today?". Will it be tears? Triumph? Triumph AND tears? Or will I just go take a very long nap with my cat instead? Here goes! #NaNoWriMo18 #amwriting
I'm spending a quiet morning refining my #NaNoWriMo18 #wip plot, so if you're curious about this #fantasy #Romance, which contains far too many plants, cats, puns, and magical systems, let me know!
Last night I needed a boost to get me over the 25K line late at night (I’m behind but catching up!). I described the action to a good friend and she made a funny offhand suggestion. It worked, and I am still giggling at the result 😂 #NaNoWriMo18
Next #themightypens #NaNoWriMo18 writing sprint, starting now! Report back at :05 to share your favorite line you've written today!
definitely just tried to chug directly from the spout of my teapot, which should tell you all you need to know about how #NaNoWriMo18 is going for me
500 words from 20k, but I've got to get ready for bed. Finally reaching an exiting part of the story (which is bad for previous pacing, but great for future word count)! #NaNoWriMo18
640 words on lunch today! Go me. #NaNoWriMo18 #NaNoWriMo
#nanowrimo18 Day 8: 1700 words written, but still behind due to yesterday's small word count. Will have to catch up this weekend! #stlnano
282 words on lunch today. Better than no words. #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo18
Brought the writing laptop to work today. Added 534 words on my lunch break. Not bad if I do say so myself. #NaNoWriMo18 #NaNoWriMo
Today's writing was kind of tough between worrying about the election and forgetting my keyboard, but I got 1667+ words written on Day 6. Tomorrow @hansonmusic comes to town, so my lead will disappear *shrug* #NaNoWriMo18
#NaNoWriMo18 Day 5: Only 600 words today, because I was talking NaNo to a Girl Scout troop and I've got to get to bed so I can get up early to vote tomorrow. But that's 600 more words than I had yesterday!
Whew! I just hit 10K for #NaNoWriMo18 -- too bad about half those words are from rewriting the same scene a couple times. But it's progress!
Very litte writing accomplished on lunch today. Maybe 100 words. It's beem a weird day. Was at work almost an hour before we got power back. And then even longer for computers to come back on. Not a good day to brain very hard. #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo18
Got to love the moment you realize that while what you wrote is great, it's just not what the story needs. If you hear weeping, it's me cutting 4K+ words of an interrogation scene I REALLY loved. #amwriting #NaNoWriMo18
It's a #NaNoWriMo18 miracle, but I am officially caught up with the word count goal for today! (Yes I know it's only day 3 but today is the first day I even hit the bare minimum, so I was worried.)
A character I'd intended to kill off has now grown an interesting enough backstory that I'd feel bad for killing him off. Damn it. #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo18
Who else is NaNoing? I *might* be a day late to the party, but it's never too late to jump in! #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo18 #nanowrimo2018
I also want everyone to know I am SO SERIOUS about finishing this story for NaNo that I disconnected my PS3 and PS4 and hid them so I won't be tempted (I know where they are, but they'll be a hassle to put back in place). I can play again when I win! #NaNoWriMo18
2,147 words for my first #NaNoWriMo18 sprint (I did a two-hour one), and I'm going to keep going! Mostly to make up for being distracted by Coheed videos, oops.
Happy #NaNoWriMo18 to my fellow #TheMightyPens! I'm going to be a few days behind on starting, but I have faith (...possibly misplaced?) that I'll catch up to y'all
Respect for anyone who has a #NaNoWriMo18 in them.
