Steve E Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi Calli. I also broke 3,000 but I didn't talk or laugh with anyone and, yeah, I'm a little bummed out. Especially since I doubt I can break 3,000 on a weekday. And I have prep-work to do this evening for work tomorrow. Such is life. - Thoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I didn't break 3000 like you guys, but I did make it past my quota for today. 1710. IF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thealtruismsociety Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 That's awesome. I just got the kids to bed, so the real writing can finally begin. IF I can only write after everyone has gone to bed, much too hectic otherwise. Make it a bit difficult but as i'm currently unemployed, very doable. I just end up really tired often, hehe.

astillac Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I trust you're ignoring typos. If I was, I'm pretty sure I could get more than 740 words in 30 minutes. I delete so much it's stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve E Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 In an experiment, I could write 200 words in six minutes, translating to 2000 an hour, but it comes out as complete nonsense. It gets worse in translation. I once typed at full speed for an hour and couldn't believe the irrational drivel I wrote. I'm not even counting errors in spelling and grammar, mind you. I guess I'm just not a fast thinker at heart. - Thoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astillac Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I totally forgot to post that I had broken 25k last night. D'oh! Haven't written a word today, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 25K is pretty good, Calli. You've hit the halfway mark. Yea! It's all downhill from here. **CHEERS** You're averaging 2,778 words a day. At this rate you'll hit 50,000 words by the 18th. What will you do with the rest of your time? I wrote a little today. I had to visit my ophthalmologist and that really cut into my allocated NaNo writing time. I'm going to post now. - Thoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemer Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Haven't written a word today, though. I've barely been able to write for the last week. Family in town. Just found out I'm going on another business trip soon. Crazy, crazy, crazy. No brain cells to spare for writing teenage angst. IF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astillac Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 30k tonight! I have been stupid busy lately! Arrgh, I've been averaging about an hour and half a day on writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 30k tonight! I have been stupid busy lately! Arrgh, I've been averaging about an hour and half a day on writing. Averaging 2,778 words per day in 90 minutes (over the month so far) is still about 31 words per minute.

Steve E Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 45k tonight. I'm slowing down a LOT. I even skip days. I'm trying to get a fully functional rough draft within the month. You're 90% done with a dozen days left! Even "slowed down" you could do between 400 and 500 words a day and still cross the finish line on time. A fully functional rough draft within the month is almost a done deal. Cooling the champagne for you. - Thoth. BTW: I'm not doing too badly myself. I'm over 70% done and picking up speed.
