...Oh but Sorcha, you create new tags for everything excusable.

( PROGRESS: copypasta'd from my comment on the challenge check-in on the inkygirl blogsitething )

Ah, progress.



Banner links to fun and awesome!

STAY TUNED: If you (nobody) are very good I may post some of the more amusingly terrible 1000 word results later on. They are gory, sometimes, or have lots of swearing!

Hey my friends and buddies (no friends and buddies)!
Here is what I have been/am doing lately/soon(er or later):

January: Told myself I would do JanNo, was incapacitated. 557 handwritten on a single sheet of 8.5x11 paper/50,000 words, woo hoo!
March: Did NaNoEdMo, failed completely, did not even meet last year's 35 hours. Continue to resolutely refuse to be dishonorable enough to blame last-minute computer crash.
June: Doing the 1000 word a day challenge on inkygirl.com; progress so far shortly. Outlining, at least mentally, for JulNoWriMo!!!11!!1. One.
July: OH MY GOSH, JULNOWRIMO YOU GUYS!!!!!
August: Hoping to brave the turgid waters of AugNo, if I am not at that point tripping over my own eyeballs, which fell under my desk at some point during JulNo.
October: OUTLINING, YOU GUYS (non-existant guys).
November: ...duh.
December: NaNoFiMo if I am not, as usual at that post-NaNo time of year, tripping over my own eyeballs.
January: I WILL DO NANOWRIYE NEXT YEAR, I WILL I WILL I WILL.

Scoreboard, bby

Literary_Gypsy = done and validated with 50,085

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE1!
...perhaps more info on my OH SO AMAZING victory (I iz so rad, yus?) when I can stop squeeing long enough to type. Suffice it to say that I won a little after nine o'clock at a write in (my first write in ever) and have not yet validated because I have a good 5000 words in my notebook that I still have yet to type up, so Open Office is still clocking me in at 45-point-somethingorother-k. 






... yay. owo :'3 :'D :'''}

I like them both. Sheesh. They're freakin' neato, all four of 'em. Whatever, be divided, they're different characters and I find it a bit stupid to try and compare them when they have very different personalities. 

 46,936 so far. That's ... around 1,200 words so far today. So close to 50k I can almost taste the sparkling cider and squees ...

I am currently past Gypsy and Crab by a somewhat safe amount for now, as long as I keep a steady stream of word count up for the rest of the day, so as not to allow either an opening with which to steal my thunder. 

P.S. Current Music = sweetest song ever. :'D

 turning in for the ... uh ... morning ... with 41,890 words! :'D 

 40,145 WORDS SO FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR *sings* It just feels (and looks!) amazing to be able to see that I've hit a line in my graph that I've never hit before... ever! *fuzzy happy dance yay* It's 1:46 A.M., I just did an hour long word war with a nano friend on Live Messenger that pushed me to this point with ... 2043, I think. :D We're about to see if we can do it again!

 38,102! I think I can I think I can I think I can ....

Oh, and I passed Gypsy. For now. :'D Still behind crabhooves by about 2k

 2qt tc ygFGQU VSVZBKXNJzgDSLRHJN K b hmn xc I JUST PASSED MY WORDCOUNT FROM  LAST YEEEEEEEAR~~~ by about 1,300 words. I <3 you MMC, with your wordcount building emoness.

I seriously considered labeling this "explicit adult content" because of the keyboardpound spam. n________________n 

Copypasta'd from the nanowrimo comm:
 
So I wrote this for this thread on the nanowrimo.org forums, and I hope it can help some people here, too! :]

for some reason the word robes looks really funny to me right now. heeee.

Oh, and crabhooves as 38k. !1@#1%.

A raccoon.


No, not on my car.



50k?


No, I'm not that badass.


I give up! Tell me!


30k.



What's so great about that. =/



Wouldn't I like to know. It just took me quite a bit to get here and ... it feels like I can make it. It really does. Just 4k a day more. Less if I can keep writing for a bit more and build up some srs buffer.
I chatted on WLM with the incomporable Skittles for a couple of hours, who has just hit 41k! I feel meek.
Oh, and in other news my /? key lost it's key cap. It still works, it's just missing it's cap. I guess my characters ask a lot of questions.

I'm not going to sleep until I hit 30k. Six in the morning, you are so far and yet so horribly close...

Current wc: 24,908. Yay! I passed crabhooves!

I've written 2111 words so far from warring! :] At 22,772 now, which means 4.23k until I count myself as officially having passed Literary_Gypsy. >] I'm sneaking up on crabhooves too, just another 1k to beat teh Crab.

I <3 the Windows Live Messenger wordwarring gang <33333

gotta start writing.

EDIT 1:56 P.M.:
[from the IHMAWTD lounge)
*hands out Lindts* I keep putting off just getting down to writing. Starting at 2:00 PST I'm going to see if I can write for 2 hours straight with minimal breaks ... there's a 4000/2 hours challenge in the Word Wars forum and I can never back down from a challenge.
