Book Title: Ember of Hope
Word Count: 60085
Characters Killed: 50+ (comprising of vampyres, witches, Hunters, faeries, etc.)
Cups of Caffeinated Soda Drunk: One
Hours Spent Procrastinating: Mmm... maybe one.
Word Goal for Today: 60,000-65,000

Now I'm not going to worry too much about my finale word count :) I hit my goal of 60,000. Maybe I'll hit 65,000 by the end of the night, but it's not likely.

Book Title: Arlyn
Word Count: 50021 (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH)
Characters Who Have Done/Said Insane Things: A lot including me (don't ask)
Hours Spent Procrastinating: Um...I didn't write anything last night which was not good...but I was sleeping. Finals and NaNoWriMo should never ever be together. That's right, Taylor Swift, but that always seems to happen.
Word Goal for Today: Nada....done for today. But I will need to start editing and adding more soon.
Words Actually Written: 2500

There are some really crazy descriptions/inner monologues/dialogues in my book that will be needing to die or at least reincarnate. There is also a part of the book where I literally stall. Is that normal? No idea, but I still consider it winning. Yay! This is the most I have ever written for one story, and I am not even half way through the story.

That is messed up, but I guess it is because I wrote a lot mostly for the word count. Lol. Anyway, GIVE ME ALL THE CUPCAKES!

Off to award myself with this week's Grey's Anatomy episode.

Book Title: A Perfect Exhilaration
Word Count: 47,003
Characters Killed: None. Oh dear. I think I need to kill someone. Yes. I shall kill someone. This will happen.
Cups of Ice Cream Eaten: 1
Hours Spent Procrastinating: The entire month of November.
Word Goal for Today: 50,000 words!
Words Actually Written today: 9,915. I'm a procrastinator.

I AM ABOUT TO WRITE THE CLIMAXY SORT OF ENDINGISH SCENE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AND I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BUT I THINK I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO JUST WRITE LIKE CRAZY UNTIL I HIT 50K AND THE STORY HAS REACHED A CONCLUSION.

I feel like this is the worst NaNo I have ever written but as long as I win WHATEVER.

I just realized about the Young Writers site today...I probably should have been on there since I'm only 14 :O But anyway, congrats on finishing your goal!

WHEEEE CONGRATS EVERYONE FOR WINNING (OR JUST SURVIVING) NANOWRIMO! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU ALL.

Guys, I just found out that there are people who do NaNoWriMo in a day. IN A DAY! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

People who don't have homework, school, music practice, hungry stomachs, ADHD, ADD, crazy minds, friends, or any of that stuff.
Or maybe they just cheat.

If I wrote for 24 hours straight and wrote a whole bunch of nonsense, I think it'd be possible. At my top speed I can write 4,000 words in an hour. But that's just rambling and typos and whatnot. So I'm assuming those novels aren't very good at all.

But one of the people I found who wrote 50,000 in a day had 100,000 as the final word count. So, I think there would be time for editing and stuff after. No idea. Nonetheless, they are crazy.

Oh yeah, I've heard of people doing NaNo in a day. Yikes. I mean, if you were to stay up for 24 straight hours you'd only have to write a little over 2k per hour which isn't too bad. But yeah ... that's pretty nuts. And there probably wouldn't be much of a point since most of it would probably just be random ranting/nonsense. (Of course, that's what most rough drafts are anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter.)

OH MY GOSH YES. So many times on the last two days without even thinking about it. I was writing and all of a sudden I realized the things I was thinking were being typed onto the page and I was so confused.

[Krys]

... So, I was trying to write the description "as slick as water off a duck's back" one day.

And instead I wrote "as slick as water off a platypi's back".

Enough said.

Guys, I literally said, "Let's get off track for a while and take a break."

After writing a really long run-on, I wrote, "By that run-on sentence, you can tell that she was confused."

*facepalm*

Editing is going to be a disaster.
