Yeah, so I won't be starting until the weekend. So still zero words for me at the moment!
Well done to everyone who has been writing!! :)

Smuppet, I hope those spiders took themeslves and their judgements out of your room so you could get some writing done :P
Yesterday was somewhat of a failure for me too. I only did roughly 250 words, so today in order to get to where I'm supposed to be up to, I need to do 2650. I was going to attempt to include tomorrow's quota in today's, meaning I'd have to write 4250, but I don't think that's going to happen. I've discovered I'm really not very good at writing spontaneously. I need to figure out what I'm going to write about before sitting down. I came up with a small plan of sorts which I think will get me through today and tomorrow's writing, but after that I need to sit down and figure out my plot (which at the moment resembles some goopy toffee which someone has played with and bent until it looks like a massive unrecognisable knot of gloop). I know this is probably boring, reading about the minute details of my writing day, but I feel if I tell you, I'll be forced to improve!
Good luck with finding time to write! :)
Poor Smuppet :( ! Judgemental arachnids are just not cool!
Good luck to those people who are going for a big push on the weekend! I expect to see some epic word counts!
I have currently smashed 1,068 words today. Will try and smash some more later. SMASH!

So, have spent most of today writing, and I must say I have gotten to the stage where I feel like my characters are writing the book for me. I swear I have them sittin gon my shoulders shouting 'just hurry up and make us together already'
Anyway I am totally sick of it :P so that is it for me today :P
Well done to everyone who's started! Congrats is in order for those seriously sitting down and writing.
Unlike myself, who wrote a couple thousand words - then changed my mind about the story I wanted to write - and just sat through a few more thousand of a different plot. I'm feeling that this is what it's going to be like for the whole summer... Darn those constantly changing plot lines!
no progress today - but a germ of an idea for a chapter - so we shall see what the morning brings.

I went okay today, but I'm still a little behind where I want to be. Breakdown of the first three days!
Day 1: 1896
Day 2: 259
Day 3: 1877
Total: 4032 (Target: 4800)
I'm still 768 short of where I'd like to be at the moment, but I figure if I consistently keep going over each day's target, I'll get back on track soon.

I did 2201 words today, taking my total to 6233. Only 167 extra to do tomorrow and I'll be back on target! Hurrah! :D
Well done everyone!
I wish I had more motivation! GAH! I will try to write something tonight.
I had a completely unproductive weekend. I looked at two flats that I hated, did the house work,shopping and cooking for the week, met up with friends, watched Anne of Green Gables, and wrote not one word.
I haven't started yet. Is it too late to start?

It's never too late to start VC...Well at least not until summer is over. :P
Awesome. :D As I said in the other thread I'm going to aim for 10,000 words over summer because I'm not a speedy writer. So, I'll see how I go. I'm not sure what I'll write about yet but I'm just going to write whatever comes to me.

It's a rainy day down my way! Perfect for writing! :D
I swear my dog is against me reaching my goal. Last night, every time I'd move my right arm to type, she decided that that was the signal to lick me to death and nudge my laptop :-}
Good luck today everyone!

Great job everyone, and good luck to those joining in the writing fun!
Okaayyy... so my character and her best friend just started Christmas carolling with a rock band over the phone... I don't know how that happened, she just spontaneously picked up the phone and it did. :) I checked my word count right about then, and became a Gaping Idiot for a good long time. :P
That's awesome Fate! I love it when my characters to unexpected things. The father in my story just hurried out of the house on some mysterious mission and it suddenly clicked as to what that mission might be and why it was very integral to the story!
Alas, however, I am 5,860 words shy of where I want to be (I'm sitting on 9028 when I want to be on 14638 8-|)
Congrats to everyone who has started :P

Today I reached 17 726, but I feel like I have definitely hit a wall. I feel like I've just finished the first chapter, and starting a new section is rather daunting! I also feel like taking a bit of a break, maybe just one day, but I refuse to do that unless I write double to amount the day before I have a break, because I don't want to get behind. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some time to plan so I'm ready for this new section :-?
I hope everyone's going well! :)

That's great Kaede! I haven't been able to write for four days. The lapse in word count is making catching up a rather daunting task. I'm supposed to have 19,000 and I only have 9,000 (yes, I'm a WHOLE TEN THOUSAND WORDS BEHIND!!!!). To recoup my loses I need to write 2200 words per day (EEK!!!).
[ligne][/ligne]
Edit: I wrote over 2,200 words tonight after thinking I wouldn't write any at all. Now sitting on 11,200! So, I'm only 8700 odd words behind! *spins on chair*
