It's 7 am here on day two, and Ahnk stands at 2,395 on his quest to 50,000. I slept through most of November first, which severely cut down writing time. But things are going smoothly. Only in my second chapter but already in the grove, if only it wasn't so cold... I can't write for too long because every second my fingers are exposed to the air, they get colder and thus more sensitive to the tapping of the keys. Damn you, Canadian winter.

Anyway, I'd link to my Nanowrimo user page, but I don't have one... Nanowrimo woudn't let me register, so I'm just going to write one of my own accord. Fuck this registration shit anyway.

I'm on the first paragraph. The hardest part is coming up with a good opening for me. Especially when you're writing one of those 'Epic Stories'

I coaxed my cousin to do it. He's at 900 words.

I laughed a bit.

Then again, he gets laid. :(

I'm very impressed.

Where do you guys find the time to do this? Or, rather, where do you guys plan to find the time to do this? ;)

So far I'm at 600 words. But I haven't invested any serious time into it yet.

Time? Time for writing, milkshake? For a roelplayer? Plah! In soviet Russia, writing time makes you!

...Well I too only have a few hundred words done, but like Irtar I haven't put any serious work into it yet. Study study study... Setting aside a few hours later tonight though to try and get some done, so hopefully that'll work out for the best.

Having a fairly firm idea of the plot, characters, major themes and genre helps, too.


And Vegs; my sympathies go out to you. Rock hard.

ironically, most of trf's current user base was born after the berlin wall fell.
