Word War & Progress Reports [NaNoWriMo2009]

   
I've been working on my plot... okay, I've been playing video games. I challenged ralikat to a personal post 50k word war, and now look, he's passed me! My fault for slacking, but my brains gave out. We'll see what happens today.

Annalia and dauphinous are still plugging along, which is awesome.

Kerrz and Shannon are getting close to the top 5. If either puts on a burst of speed, that race will get really interesting.

Today's top five is brought to you by Crelm Toothpaste.

Top 5
Nighteyes5678: 40,208
Get_in_my_Belly: 38,754
Asterisk: 30,017
Karayan: 29,043
Josef Wilhelm: 28,845

If anyone wants to do a personal word war, I will add it to the second post in this thread.

Ralikat, I choose you! <tosses pokeball>

[rolls pokeball around in hands for a bit] Sorry, I have no clue what to do with this. Never watched Pokemon [chucks it to the side]
But I will say, that yesterday was all written while being laid out quite sick with the dreaded Hini flu
I think that's something like obsession or insanity, but I'm not sure.
Fever dreams are now inspiring my novel, that sort of disturbs me...

That's sort of awesome.

I am coming down with something completely different, which I knew would happen at some point during the month, but it's worse than expected and now I am pissed. Hopefully in a few days I'll be back in shape. At least I have a plot outline now!

Annalia: Yes, plot outline! Mine is what's getting me to actually put the plot in my writing at all.
If I hadn't made one before November started, I think I'd have about 2K words now and red angry eyes.

Ralikat: I had one before November. I had an awesome, very detailed outline for my novel and I was proud of it.

Then I decided to write two other stories after that was done, and had NO outline for those. Ooooops.

Dragon Age?

Yes! 100k!

And I'm not really all that close to being done with this second story. Since my husband is neither supportive nor understanding at this point(he was, at least, understanding at the beginning), I am not pulling for a triple.

Yeah this will test a relationship pretty well. I took off both Friday and Saturday and felt myself hit a certain wall. I'm gearing myself up for the sprint of the next nine days, though.

Aaaah! 150,026 words!

I also love this current story. It's coming alive on its own and isn't, like the last one, full of crap. Weeee! Off to pull the quadruple!

(Also, I have no husband, and my family has grown used to antisocial-me in November. XD)
