    01. Yes, third year in a row.
    02. I'll start the third chapter tomorrow. 5,028 words in.

    04. I hope so. According to the website, I'll hit the 50,000 word mark on November 9th, at this rate.
    05. I feel fairly confident. I have plenty of ideas for this novel! :)

    @ Browncoat
    That may actually work, since I am thinking of a sequel to this novel, in which I could write in those six months, put away when the time comes and edit the first one. Thanks for notifying me.

    @ deer cult
    National Writing Month November, or something like that, when the goal is to write 50,000 words in the entire month of November, in which people believe to be an average story.

    @ Browncoat
    When's the editing month?

    @ Em'ly
    I wish you luck.

    @ Sight of the Blind
    Good job on getting that many words, I hope everything works out.

    4. I hope so!
    5. Confident but wary...I'm afraid that if I get cocky I'll get WAY behind

    Good luck to everyone!

    01. Yes I am!
    02. 1140.
    03. For now, Lakeside. I think its going to change because it was originally a plot I wrote down for a one shot.
    04. I hope so, if not I'll be content with just finishing it.
    05. Confident and determined. :)

    There's a National Novel Editing Month, too. I think it's hosted by the same guy/person/group.

    yay for themes~

    @ elizabeth;
    I hope the story works out for you.

    @ Browncoat
    Yes, I realize that. That's what my whole goal of two thousand words a day is, it's really just to get me writing. And the fact that I'm using a novel I've been trying to write just means, when it's done, I will put it away for a few weeks, months, whatever, then edit it.

    @ eight letters late.
    Thank you! I do hope that it turns out to be pretty long, and I hope things work out for you if you're doing NaNoWriMo, as well.

    @ Tygra's Kitten Kori
    I wish you luck. And I'll try to get to adding you, and some people, I get so lazy.

    1. Yep!
    2. I met the average word goal so far (1667 words) but I'm not even done with the first chapter yet.
    3. City of Fear.
    4. Yep!
    5. I'm pretty confident so far, especially since it's a Batman story. XD

    Add me if you want! Tygra's Kitten Kori is my name on there!

    THAT IS AMAZING, WOMAN!
    Congratulations on writing so much. (:
    You're gonna be one of those that ends up with like 75,000 words at the end of the month.

    1. Not this year. Two years already, and what's the point when I know I can do it.

    The thing people forget is that it's not actually about writing a novel as much as it is about writing. It's supposed to be a way to discipline yourself into making a goal, and meeting it, with your writing. Editing isn't supposed to happen; if someone concentrates on writing their best, they probably won't succeed.

    Sooo, if I do end up deciding to do it, it'll all come out as brain-spew, and that doesn't worry me at all.
