PreNoWriMo: Day 1/30

Today is the first day of September, and that means it's the first day of our NaNoWriMo test run, which I'm personally referring to as "Omfg What Was I Thinking"-Month. That would be OMFGWTF for short, I think. Or maybe I'll just stick with PreNoWriMo. Anyway, whatever. Let the games begin!

Today's Goal:

PreNoWriMo Total:

Good luck!

If I can shake enough free time by wrapping other more important things up by then, I may try a mini-NaNoWriMo in November working on my magnum opus. I am not wedded, however, to the idea of winding up with 50,000 perfectly sculpted words. I would be more than happy to wind up with however many well-sculpted words will make up a decent first draft of Part I.

However, if I were keeping count, I wouldn't be surprised if I typed 50,000 words in the course of it, just eliminating 10,000 or more of them along the way in the process of writing and editing. Really, someday I should send you a handwritten draft just so you see why I almost always type everything.

If I had my own computer I would probably do this...maybe shorten the goal to 25,000, lol. But I'll just wait until November!

Good luck!

Good luck! I'm contemplating using NaNo time this year to actually completely edit LAST year's novel, as I've only looked at it twice since then. Maybe I'll join you a bit in solidarity here, and start in on that this month...

You are a writing FIEND! I don't know whether to envy you or fear you. (Joking, it's envy all the way, baby!)

Last year NaNo didn't turn out well because I was working two jobs. Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat this year. Maybe a mini NaNo... or something...

Woo, go you! :D

It is somewhat tempting to join you in this pre-insanity. I'm not sure whether I should be talking myself into or out of it....
