Passed last years final count of 3700-someodd and up to 4216, and intend on writing more tonight. I took a Creative Commons license on the novel today, anyone else intending on doing this?

XD, I used Garamond which is a pretty small font, and I reduced the margin, so that helped I guess. I'd rather have more pages though, it gives the illusion you're doing more.

I won't be able to write a lot tonight. I came home late because of school band and now I have major Math and French homework. So I'm only writing 700-ish words tonight. I'll have to rush majorly to catch up on Saturday =(.

I've found http://www.writely.com to be a huge help! :)

That's a really great idea, HBB. I won't be doing it, since my 'novel' is actually a work of fanfiction. But if it weren't, I'd probably do that as well.

Well, I'm on 1.5k words. I've actually improved upon last year's total by... 1.5k words :P

Anyways, tired now sleep, but work tomorrow shall be done (Unless tupid coursework gets in the way -kicks-)

Current Word Count
Your current Word Count is 2531


*sighs and starts on French project*

Thu Nov 03, 2005 2:35 am

5,536 words.

I repeat. Grahahaha.

I find it helpful to pace at about 1700 words a day.

I'd be doing better if TNT had wrapped up the plot in October -- or at least not started things happening again just as it was coming writing time -- but while I'm already thousands of words behind schedule, I'm still doing better than I did last year.

Yay?

Hmm... I think I'm done writing for the day. Spent about 2.5 to 3 hours on it, and I managed to add a little over 4000 more words to bring my total word count to 13,082. That's, what, a bit over 25% of the way through in just 3 days (>10 hours) of writing. There's no way I'm going to actually finish my story by the end of November, I don't think, but I should definitely be able to meet the 50,000 by then, if I can keep at it.

How on earth do you guys find out how many words you've written. Do you count them all by hand???

I suppose they use Word Count.

Edit:

That wasn't meant to be sarcastic. But they do use Word Count, it's a feature on most word programs.

OMG Mylene, you're soo fast.

I'm expecting 3200 by today. I have a major French project due tomorrow. But tomorrow I have only half-day of school so hopefully I can spend a good 4 hours on it or so. I'm so behind on my schedule!

EDIT: OMG

Current Word Count
Your current Word Count is 2984

so little for today. I can't help it. Too many things to do; I'll have to rush tomorrow.

Oh, goody. I have the whole day off tomorrow, so I can make up for the fact that I'm slacking...right now.
