I tend to avoid straight up romance novels, actually. :}

So you're more into Bree's stories, then?

Or what?

And girl, you should be in BED!!!

[Amanda N]

Er...I tend to avoid books that have explicit sex scenes I guess would be a better way to put it. :-D

And I did go to bed right after that. :-p

Okay, so more on Jane's bent than Bree's. LOL

[Amanda N]

Yeah, probably.  Have no problem with sex.  It's just...explicit sex scenes make me giggle.

It looks like I'm back on track with NaNoWriMo. After restarting and some truly poor writing days (long work days with minimal or no writing), I've been attending write-ins on the weekends and picking up larger word counts than during the week. I'm still behind, but after writing 6000+ words yesterday and a goal of 4k for today, I'll be passing the halfway mark! I already have the frame for my certificate and it will join the others on my wall.

How's everyone else doing with their counts?

I have 32000 words, so I'm ahead of the game. I'm having fun with this novel, and I haven't yet resorted to silliness (I have a list of things to write in if I get bored or run out of ideas: zombies, ninjas, a circus, things like that). Bad writing, yes, but nothing ridiculous plot wise.

Hitting the midpoint slowdown for me.  I'm wishing I went for a more whimsical theme, cuz I really just want to get stupid with it all about now.

[Amanda N]

Over 37, but I don't think I'm going to get any done today.  Very busy day.

Plodding along, slowly but surely. Just under 29k. I write about 1000 per day on work days, with a few long days designated as non-writing days (like today -- worked 6:30 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. but wrote 500 so I figure I'm good). However, on weekends I attend write-ins and usually write 5k or more per day. I'll make it -- 6 off-work days between now and the end!

[Devin]

I have successfully worked in pirates. :D

I've gone to a lot more write-ins this year thanks to my laptop, and it seems to be making things easier and more fun. 38,000 words so far!

I'm going to win. It's just a question of when.

[Devin]

45,000 words!! 8 more days left, and then you guys can have ALLLLL the coposts you can handle from me. I probably won't know what else to do with my time. :D

[Vix]

I'm only at 35k -- unless you count the 8000 from the discarded novel. However, I wrote 5000 words yesterday and am attending a write-in this afternoon, so that should boost my count. Add to that, my NaNo writing buddies are now practically living at Panera in the evenings so that gives me added inspiration.

[Devin]

I win! IwinIwinIwin!!

I made it to 50,000 words today!! :D

WHOOOO!!!! :party:  That's amazing!  How are you gonna celebrate?
