Still playing with the outline, unfortunately. Hoping to catch up over the weekend!

Megan (thebooknerdcopywriter) | 2 comments Actually on track this time. Full (basic) plot made up. Ended out day two at 3,766 words (ahead of schedule). I am about halfway completed with chapter 1. My goal for NaNoWriMo is 75,000 words as my novel will be a bit longer. All going great! Happy writing!

Way to go, Megan!

Weisser (shawnweisser) It goes SLOWLY. My students have challenged me to read 4 different series of books at the same time. EEK! But, I am writing.

T.L. Costa | 3 comments It's going very slowly for me, too. And I have no excuse other than that I write at a rather glacial pace...

How is it going for all you Wrimos on day 17? I've had to go back to the drawing board using the Snowflake method as I'm finding too many plot holes. How about you?

Michael Brookes (technohippy) I crossed the halfway point today, a bit behind schedule, but I should make it :-)

Michael Brookes (technohippy) It's called Faust 2.0 - An Internet chatbot starts granting wishes, but what is the price to be paid?

Christie Palmer | 7 comments So I'm close with 43K but not sure if I will have time to write this week. Sucks to be so close yet so far. Tonight will be the only night I can write, so keep your fingers crossed that I can get 7k in tonight. Otherwise another Nano year down the tubes.

Christie, do not give up. I am up for a "Writing Frenzy" exercise tonight if you are up to. We can connect via twitter @ReadingDiva3 if you like. I can do at 8:30pm EST. :) Let me know!

Ah, well I hope you get to write the 7k tonight. I'll try my best to write at least 2k more. Good luck!

Sorry, but you can do it. Don't give up.

Michael Brookes (technohippy) My 50,000th word is 'to' a bit boring, but I'll take it :-)
