Yup the first time I tested the power of arbitrary deadlines :)

Congrats, that is really impressive, I respect the effort and discipline and hate you faintly for your success, but mostly I am pleased for you and impressed.

Congrats!

And

What an obnoxious interface for people who actually want to read the book...

That's fantastic, dear dhruva. I really enjoyed reading the excerpt -- I'm impressed at how beautifully written it is at such a tight pace. I don't suppose you had much time to edit it, either.

Will the whole thing be available for reading in some other format later, do you think?

No havent edited a thing yet. I will look at it again some time later and see if i can make something out of it. Its got plot holes the size of double decker buses at this stage :)

I respect the effort and discipline

It was more to do with my recent breakup: a good chance to get rid of all that angst :)

Congrats! That's awesome.

I thought about doing NaNoWriMo this year -- and then I came to my senses. Someday, though...

I didn't finish, not even close. But I'm going to keep working. : )

Hooray!

I'm editing a friend's novella for a soonish deadline. Also just finished the second painting in the past week, and previous finished paintings seemed like forever ago. The process often feels good with the deadlines. :-)

Congratulations! I keep thinking about doing NaNoWriMo and I think I'm going to have to just keep thinking about it.

That's fantastic! Last year I got about 1000 words in and gave up - I'm so impressed. Congratulations!

Congrats to the winners!! One of these days I will dig out mine and edit it. Does anybody here like ripoffs of Anthony Trollope novels?

posted by JanetLand 01 December | 08:25

I got about 4000 words in this year. I didn't even bother to register at the main site, but parts of mine are here and here.

Way to go! I didn't do nanowrimo because everytime I start working on my novel, I get 7000 words in and stop.
