9th November - Check In

Hi everyone, check in time.

How's everyone been doing? I've done a little over 3000 since the last count. I'm a bit vague as I've been away and have resorted to pen and paper and haven't typed it up. I'll be conservative and say that my count so far is 5089.

I always swore I'd never write by hand again as typing it up becomes editing so I'll probably leave that little job until 1st December!

  1. Ugh, okay I'll get this over with now. I'm up to 4806. A little over half way to where I should be.

    I blame university - working all the hours god sends plus writing an uber essay that is sucking the life from me. (15 days 'til deadline then I'm free from homework until after Easter!!)

    And procrastination. Can't forget the procrastination. Because watching cartoons and things-go-boom movies totally count as procrastination. (I'll just watch this one episode then I'll write that scene...It'll inspire me.)

  2. I haven't done my words for the 9th yet (as I'm a smidget behind here in the US) but I'm about the same place (5562) for the 8th.

    I also end up writing during my lunch break on paper-and-pencil and half the time restructuring it or scrapping it entirely when I get home to type it up. Rather frustrating. Makes me worry I'm going to hack out half the words I write this month which is not helping my urge to procrastinate.

    In other news: I've gone back to using www.writeordie.drwicked.com to help defeat some of the intial procrastination, but it only seems to take the edge off of it... not kill it

  3. Well, after being tremendously behind the other day, I squeased out 3k yesterday, and then the same again today, so I'm now on 10,620.
    I know I won't get that much done again for a few days though, because my boyfriend is coming round tomorrow, and I'm working on Wednesday. 1k is do-able, though, and I guess that's why I'm here after all!

  4. I'm at 5,994 on the main project I'm doing for this, though with another 2,067 on a tutorial that I've not decided if I should include in my wordcount or not.

  5. I didn't make it super far today. I'm at 6252 words for the month, but after I get everyone's status reports I'll be happy to make jpegs out of my graphs and tables for the first 9 days so people can see where they are and such.

    So come on and report in people. Is a good day to do it! (and now I'm off to bed as I have to get up in about 6 hrs to get ready for work.)

  6. Hi axisor! Due to my lack of typing up I'm going to say 6000 in total so far. What I've done today is for another project but I'm including it anyway :)

  7. :/ ech... been putting this off.. my wordcount started well, then I got bushwhacked by work- by the time i get home i can just about write my own name. Still, I've a couple of days off coming up that I'm hoping to catch up in.

    Sneaky, but they're mine to do with as I please >:)

  8. Well, bring on the 14th check in. I'm normally on massive fail on Wed/Thurs due to work but am determined to power on through.

  10. If you want to see the current graphs of where we are... there's links to them off my LJ account (click name) and yes... this is shameless self promotion BUT I don't have the energy for hunting the links again and I'd like to know if people even care to see the progress as the days pass :)

  11. Hey guys, I'm horribly struggling behind. I started a new project, a short story, and have written 2862 words on that. I've also managed to include all my grammar-genius beta reader's comments into the first 9 chapters of The Novel. I'm hopeing to do a couple of rewrites and then move on to chapter 10.

    Let's hope that between putting furniture together and unpacking gazillion boxes, I'll manage to get some work done;D.

  12. I am always late to these posts - for which I apologise. It is now the end of the 12th and I have written 12217 words. This is, I think, the most that I have ever written on one subject (I have no idea, these days, of the word-count of my BSc and MSC theses) and definitely the longest piece of fiction!

  13. P.S. I have made my google docs spreadsheet and chart public here for any of you that are sad stats- and data-philes like me! ;-p

  14. I was wonderfully up to speed until Thursday and haven't written anything since then. Hope to get some more done this evening or tomorrow. I've been all over the place with some pretty big things swamping everything else. Hope to have it all sorted this week though. And back to work!
