Re: I Wrote Today!
Yay! Good job, Jondra.
I write in the mornings, before I go to work. Sometimes it's hard, but I force myself to write at least 500 words before firing up the internet. And it works.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Great progress, Nutkins!
I finished Chapter 14 this morning (of 22 planned). I'm very happy with how this works out.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I did another rewrite on chapter 1. And edited half of chapter 2. I can only hope the second half goes so well.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Well done guys! Sounds like there's a bit of a roll going on.
I did some writing today, it was mainly planning, but with a tiny little scene done as well so I think I'm going to count it as a Writing Day.
I've just started with the Snowflake so I think the Writing Days might be few and far between for a couple of weeks. Hopefully after I'm done they'll be back again and maybe a bit more productive with a proper plan to follow.
I hope your muses keeping giving out the inspiration you need.

Nutkins, planning is an important part of writing, so count your planning days as Writing Days, too.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Nutkins I agree with Firlefanz. Anything related to furthering your writing counts! Even writing query letters or a synopsis ect... I've often used research as a "I wrote today"
On a side note I finished my first edit of Chapter 2! Just need to pull out the red pen and start polishing before I can submit it to my critique group.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Good work, naca!
Today, I have to write a synopsis for my second novel. It will be a real pain. However, I want to submit to a novel writing competition. Doubt I'll win (I'm fairly sure they don't want fantasy), but if I don't even try...
Glad to see you all working hard! Keep it up!

Re: I Wrote Today!
Started chapter 15, and - much more important - I bashed that summary into shape. I had it checked by a friend (who is also an author), and he thinks my second version is good enough.
Phew!

Re: I Wrote Today!
Firle that's great. I wish I had an author friend to bounce ideas off of in person.
Last night I rewrote three pages of chapter 3. Hope to finish it tonight.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Naca, that was on a German writers' board, so not in person. However, I met him in August for a beer and chat.
Good work on the chapter! Good luck for finishing it!

Re: I Wrote Today!
Still plodding along with my YA novel, I'm in chapter 16 now.
I still haven't decided whether I'll keep doing this during NaNo or not. At least, the NaNo story is coming along nicely, the plot is getting more substance.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I edited a few pages of chapter 2. I'm really hoping to finish it tonight. It's a tough chapter though. I've rewrote it three times already.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Ouch, that sounds like hard work. Good luck!
If you get stuck with that chapter - skip it. Move on and then edit it when you know where the rest of the story goes. Unless you are already in an editing pass?
I just finished chapter 16 of my YA novel. And I'm 8,000 words into my NaNo novel, of which I'm really proud.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Firle that's great. That means you're on target for NaNo?
I finished chapter 2 last night. I'm gonna get the red pen out and start double checking it before submiting it for a critique on my group.

Re: I Wrote Today!
Well done, naca. I hope your inner editor will let that chapter finally pass.
I'm at 10,000 for NaNo now, and a day ahead of quota (well, will be again if I get up to 12,000 today). I'm quite happy with the story, too, it's pretty solid copy.

Re: I Wrote Today!
It seems as though my inner editor has past. Last night I completed chapter 3's final edit and am almost done with chapter 4's first rewrite. I also hope to move on to chapter 5's first rewrite tonight.

Re: I Wrote Today!
That's great news. Maybe your editor finally likes what he sees.
I'm at 28,000 for NaNo, hoping to reach 30,000 today, eventually.

Re: I Wrote Today!
I guess so, I've been slacking about that.
I also just finished two rather difficult translations. Archaeological abstracts are full of nasty words.
I'm at 36,000 for NaNo now.

Re: I Wrote Today!
There!
I wrote 1900+ words (close to 2000) and the only reason I'm stopping is because I have class in 7 hours and I need some sleep.
Tomorrow I will probably double that, based on the outline I made up for what will happen!

Re: I Wrote Today!
So far today I've written around 600 words, and I still haven't reached the point where I am ready to follow my outline, this is turning out to be a big chapter

Re: I Wrote Today!
Very cool, it's always exciting to see a project comming together.
I just finished the re-write of a new Script for Episode 1 Season 2 of a series I'm working on. I may go back through and do a few waves of polishing (which usually leads to another re-write) but I'm excited now that I've offically begun and I'm almost to where I like it.
