- blarg yeah. I'm glad I got 2500 words in earlier today, because I ended up working on my costume longer than expected. And then my sister came home unexpectedly from her field work because she had left her house key here. So still need about 3000 more words to catch up tonight.

I... have 0 willpower and have spent all of my free time today playing Persona Q. I haven't written at all :( at least you have a legit excuse XD;; Want a ?

- Sure, let's do it! :15 for 15? I think I'm actually at a point in my story that I want to write! lol. Doesn't happen often. Persona Q... I might have to get that game.... but later! After nano! I wasted enough time getting the second gym badge in ORAS this morning!

Okay! I'm in!

- 288. got a bit of a late start, but certainly beats the double digit word scores I was getting a while ago!

395 for me. Not terrible considering I had to quickly change chapters in the middle of time XD;

As for Persona Q - have you played Persona 3 and/or Persona 4? It's sort of a parallel/side world game and if you haven't played either (or preferably both) of the games the characters all come from it won't be nearly as interesting XD I'm ALWAYS happy to meet more Persona fans though... it's such a good series o

- I haven't played either, I don't have any system to play them on, but I know a bunch of people who are fans, so I know a lot of the characters pretty well. Up for another word war? Maybe 20 minutes at :50?

Ahh, gotcha :) I'm... kind of a ridiculous fan of Persona 3. So this is such a fanservice-y, amazing little game. The characters are all interacting and being actually kind of happy together and that makes me so dang happy. I just love seeing Akihiko and Shinjiro talking together and not making me want to cry unmanly tears. Soo yeah.

Anyway YES absolutely, 20 at :50 sounds good to me!

- 504. Making progress! This chapter is too long, but I can fix that later.

585 for me - I hit a pocket of stuff I could actually get a bunch of words out about! Yaaay. Yay both of us getting more than 500 words! It's so much better to have too many words and have to pare down later instead of having to try to pad things out.

- yeah, that is true! And this whole beast of a novel needs a heck of a lot of shaving!

Hahaha. Now I just picture someone giving a book a haircut... (wow I'm a nerd)

- haha! It's a bit funny too because two of my characters just went to the library, one of them is a pixie and she doesn't like books because all they are is dead trees and dead animal skins. :P

LOL nice! I like that. She's strictly vegan I take it?

- yup, she lives on plants and magic. I do want to do an awkward scene between her and the Osprey, where the osprey catches her a fish, but I dunno if it'll ever fit in anywhere.

Hahaha XD Nice. It's worth writing, anyway, even if it's just a "deleted scene" that gives you insight into your characters. Plus - it sounds fun to write! :D

- It would be fun. The Pixie and the Osprey are the two most fun characters to write. Unfortunately, they won't be in the same scene together again for a long time! sadface

Anyway, just over 42k words, just under 1000 words off today's par. Going to bed now I think. It's been a pretty good day, and just write 1000 more words tomorrow and I'm back on track! Hopefully can keep slowly creeping up so that I don't end up having to do 6000 words on the last day!

Having a huge goal on the end day is the pits D: I hope all is going well for you!

How is this Thanksgiving Thursday going for everyone? I haven't really done any writing yet... but I've got my document pulled up now so I'm intending to get some words down. Yesterday was my first time not hitting the daily 1667 par - I've exceeded it every other day, but yesterday I only got a little over 1500. Close, but... well. On the plus side I only have 2810 words left til 50k!

- congrats! You're almost there! Everything's going ok, tonight and tomorrow are probably going to be late nights though! I went to watch the Mocking Jay part 1 tonight, and tomorrow is a friend's party, and saturday is the mini convention. Sunday is my last big day left, but hopefully I can keep it down to a reasonable amount. 8k words in 4 days? Should be doable. Just gotta get myself in writing mode. I'm not going to get to where I wanted to be in the story, but that's what editing and continuing to move forward is all about!

That's only 2k per day! I know you can do that! :D
