So, how many of us stayed up writing this first night?

I didn't. lol

 

[Novella]

I haven't written a word...yet. I'm determined to actually finish this year though!

 

[nyx]

Has anyone else had a problem with how slow the site is? I tried to add LD and Zaika as buddies today and it was moving like a turtle.

 

[Lady Day]

Oh the site is S U P E R S L O W. WHat I want to know is is there a place online where you work on your novel or post it, or in your profile, or do you do all that on your own?

Yes, the site has always been superslow.
I haven't been able to look yet, but there has always been a place to post how many words you've typed and even a way to post excerpts of your novel into your profile. They should have that this year. I've always worked in MS Word and then posted the numbers into my profile.

 

[zaika]

BTW...they turned off the easy cut 'n paste word counter thingy they usually have in order to make the site a bit faster for the first day. Check out the news on the first page to find out how to update your word count.

 

[Ada Veen]

yup.... really slow.... both me and the site...

 

[zaika]

LOL. Yeah...me too. I think I have about 1,000 words written. But I've calculated that if you can write at least 1666 a day, you'll make it! I can do that. It'll be crap. But eh...

 

[nyx]

I wrote 1300 yesterday. Am hoping to catch up today.

fabulous! i'm right behind ya!

Its cool and there are SO MANY people there
The personal page stuff and navigation around and subscribing to threads is SO hard to find! I had a co worker (who is doing the project too) help me in finding out how to subscribe to the FL thread :eusa_doh:

Whew!

yeah...i have the same problem trying to navigate the site and find simple things...like a search function and all that. i don't know who designed the thing...but [huh] oh well.

Almost a 1000. Still not sure what's going to happen in the next sentence. It gets better when you get into a groove.

I'm more of a skip 3 days write 5,000 words in one night kind of guy. I wish I still rode public transportation; that's probably the reason I reached 50,000 words last time.

Ah...public transit. I used to take advantage of that for drawing my fellow passengers...good practice.

 

[Kishtu]

Is it my imagination, or is the site spending more time down than up at the moment...?

Kit - 6352 words and counting

 

[Lady Day]

I went down a couple thousand words. Darn editing.

LD

 

[zaika]

how is everyone doing? i haven't heard anything on the thread at the nanowrimo forum...just seeing if we've lost anyone or if anyone has anything they might share to help those of us who are struggling.

 

[Lady Day]

I was just about to post something on this! lol

Im at 29000+ now whooo hoo me! There are some passages Im not too keen on, but its like sketching, you refine later.

How is everyone else doing?

i still don't understand how you got to 29,000 so quickly!!! you MUST spill your secrets! lol

i'm not stuck...for once...in EVER. hehe. but it's hard to ignore that internal editor.

 

[nyx]

I am stuck. I've been stuck at 6500 for about 2 days now. I HATE my story, but don't want to start over. Any advice?
