It's completaly fine.  I think everyone is out of it after nanowrimo.  I won on the 22 (I think?) and I was supposed to continue writing 2k every day after that.  However, I've written the 2,525 that you see. (Give or take a few words in notes and junk from before)

Hey, by  day 3 of NaNo I had 387 words. Just to put things in perspective. ;)

You're totally welcome to join in.  I don't think there's going to be a "not welcome" ever.

Okay, the "try and hit 30k in 24 hours" thing has been moved to Tuesday. I think that's my next day off.

Sigh...

It's bad enough having Nano one month of the year, and now you want to continue it into December, too!

Speaking of which....I got another 170 words written....At this rate, I should be at 1000 by the end of the month...Lame.

And it's to finish the novels that we weren't able to finish for NaNo....Not that I really tried to last month, but....yeah.

Exactly! My novel's probably going to be another 50k before it's done, so why WOULDN'T we have a word war to keep ourselves going?

That said, I should go actually... yanno... write. I haven't written anything since Sunday.

You write just about at my pace, wilson. I don't know if I should be happy of that fact or just be disappointed about my progress.

I haven't looked at my latest count (too busy being distracted by Detty fanfics... *blushes*  And does anyone know why those stupid combined names even came to be?)  But I'm pretty sure I've got another 2k.  Although, for a week I should have 10k, which kind of sucks.

You guys think you're sad, just look at my word count for the month so far. Isn't it a whopping total?

I was, but I have to finish this assignment due tomorrow, and I don't think I'll be able to write 30k in 24 hours without taking another crack at those plotholes I have to fill... stupid plotholes.

Thinking I might finish the scene I left off on during NaNo tomorrow/Thursday, and take another crack at the marathon writing on Friday. Provided my employers don't go changing my schedule, that'll be my next day off...

Good luck.  I'd join you, but I never have a day to just sit and type.  Most of my day is spent working, or taking care of my family.

What's up with those plot holes slowing writers down? Seriously, the nerve of those things.... ;)

I need to write more....I think I've written like 2 words since the last post I made.....and I deleted about 20, so I'm being more unproductive than anything else right now. That's not good.
