Well today is day one of NaNo!! I am very excited to say that I got up at 5 am and wrote for an hour and 45 minutes. No, I'm not crazy, I'm just sleeping in temporary accommodations and have a crappy bed. In that time I managed to write 2447 words. I've already reached my goal for the day, but I'll probably try and get some more writing in tonight. While the goal of NaNo is to get 50,000 words in a month done, I'd like to be mostly finished my book, which I'm targeting at being around 70,000. So I have a bit more to write each day if I want to hit that goal.
So did anyone else get up at a crazy hour like I did?? How are you doing??

WTG Christine!!
Okay, I'll be fine. Yes I will. I'm just having a bit of a panic attack (disguised as procrastination). Haven't written anything yet, and it's almost nine-thirty. Instead, I've driven hubby to airport, saw kids off to school, read some blogs, checked e-mail, decided I had to go to Tim's for a breakfast sandwich and a tea and then checked my email again.
Alright, time for tough love. Logging off and will not be back on until I reach or surpass the daily goal!
Great start, Christine! I got up at 5:45 am and wrote for about an hour and a half too. I did 2,322 words. It just flowed like buttah. I'm going to try and get more done on my lunch hour and this evening.
Yay, Christine! I got up at 4:00 a.m. and wrote about 2 hours for a little over 2K. I don't know how long I'll be able to keep the pace, but I'm pleased so far!
Woohoo! You ladies totally rock. We can do it! I'm going to try and write for another hour after supper, but we'll see.
I'm back.
Okay, that wasn't too bad, despite the fact that I have no idea where my story is going and I don't know these new characters all that well. But, I did manage 1949 words on my new WIP. And I wrote faster than I thought I would, so I think this NaNo thing is going to work for me.
Now I'm going back to my other WIP and plug away at it. Almost finished, but still a few chapters to go before I get to type The End on my first draft.
And great job, Kelly and Joely!!
How's everyone else doing?
You guys are terrific!! and a little crazy - 4am, 5am, 5.45? Ouch - that's dedication.
I crawled out of bed at 7. Stayed off the internet and managed 2050 words this morning. Hope to get back to a couple more pages this evening. I love my characters and I love just writing whatever pops into my head.
Great Day 1!
Go, guys, go! I did not write this morning as I am a night owl. Will let you know what happens in my late night writing. Everyone's doing fantastic so far!
Okay I'm done for the day. I ended up with 3,672 words for day one. Let's hope I can keep this pace up. :)
