[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

We'll just have one thread all month for the NaNo Blogs. In case you haven't seen them yet,

Here's Fell's
and
Here's Mine

[Chimera]

Fun!

I'm not participating in nanowrimo per se, but I am still grinding away at my goal to finish part one of my novel by December, so I kind of am.

I shall draw inspiration from the rest of you.

Update the pic!

It will happen after I eat
I've spent the last 6 hours mucking with hardware, learning that the nicest hard drive I ever owned is bad (the lesson is, even though everyone seems to want to love Western Digital with all their body and despise Maxtor, go with Maxtor: after all, I have two drives of theirs over 7 years old, both still working, while the Western Digital one, only about 1 year old, has failed even though it wasn't in use.

Fell, I love your description of it: combining The Dark Knight and The Little Princess, as told by Bram Stoker.   Awesome.

My blog has caught up with Fells, and the graphics are updated for both.

[Fellfrosch]

Glad you like it, stacer. Though I was already fairly certain that you liked this particular story

[Skar]

I wish I could climp.

Skar scuffs the dirt sheepishly.

I want to count my articles and blogs and chat sessions toward my word count!  Sign me up!

[The Jade Knight]

If it makes you feel any better, I'm up to 823 words.

[Fellfrosch]

The count at the end of Saturday: 10,937. I didn't write today, but I should get quite a bit done tomorrow.

[MsFish]

Um, considering changing to a new novel.

*Fish ducks to avoid flying objects

[stacer]

I continued to write last night, so my count ended up being 3626, but I didn't write today after all, so I'm still way behind. But still, it's forward motion. It's more than I wrote before.

[Chimera]

Um, considering changing to a new novel.

*Fish ducks to avoid flying objects

*Chimera throws a waterbottle and a fluffy orange pillow
Oh, wait. I've already done that.  

Which novel? A new one?

[MsFish]

The fairytale one.  I'm starting from scratch--rewriting what I have and going from there.  I've almost finished a detailed outline (something that never happens to me) and I have about 2,000 words on the body.  (Albeit, not consecutive words, but that *never* happens to me.)  

So yeah.  Jumping ship, switching books.  I'm not supposed to be doing this, but I think I'm going to go for Brandon's ploy of "accidentally" writing books when you're supposed to be doing other things.  Seems to work well for him.
