    Way to go Lissette. you've still a good few days to go so you will get there. Well done on the 43k. 

    What about everyone else? I haven't seen any new word count here lately, how are you all doing?

    *raises white flag*
    I believe I am finished with NaNo. xD Ended with a measly 20k, but I knew it was going to be hard this year.

    Still, despite only having 20k to show for it, I do have chapters 13-19 finished, with chapter twenty right in the middle (hoping to finish that next week).

    That puts me approximately halfway through Frost Moon! Huzzah!

    With nearly 8 chapters done, that's about two months' of regularly scheduled posting, which is pretty nice! Thinking about working on some short fiction for the Vault in December, especially since my classes will be a bit lighter the closer I get to winter break.

    Kjeld & Reidar will be returning soon.

     

    Also quick question for Sotek: I want to participate in the campfire, but I worry about getting spoilers. I'm currently getting through Straag Rod, UotW, A Dance With Daedra, and a few others. Is it chock full of spoilers or safe for me to peruse?

    D'oh!

    Forgot to say a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that's already won, in the process of winning, and gave this thing a shot this year! :) I know it can be crazy and stressful and hectic, but there's such a feeling of happiness and relief when you reach that 50k, especially for a story that's been 'sitting in the drawer, ignored' for months at a time.

     

    Good job one and all. <3 I wish I could've been right there with you guys, chipping away at that 50k, but hopefully next year will be less stressful!

     

    ;) and there's ALWAYS Camp NaNoWriMo! See you guys in April!

    A big well done for hitting 20k SF. I'm not going to say anything along the lines of 'well at least you tried' for a few reasons.

    1 It's not a case of try. You've written 20,000 words. We all know I write, 'well duh!' so I know the effort involved in that.

    2 I don't care if anyone don't make it. Hitting the 50,000 isn't what this is about as far as I am concerned. You've finished 7 chapters and you're on your way to finishing the 8th chapter. This is a marvelous achievement for November 2016. 

    Good for you SF. You've done yourself proud. 

     As for the Campfire in TSC. I don't think it's too in depth for spoilers. Yes there's the odd plot there but I don't think anyone has torn the guts out of their stories.

    I hope you do join in. We would love to hear about your insights and thoughts.

    I just did... So don't click on the links I posted in Campfire SF.

    Its the final NaMo push! Just writing everyday for a month is a big accomplishment.

    I did caca today. Sundays are terrible.  Too long a commute from church and too longer rehearsing today. Singing is an awful lot of thinking. I'm not even playing. I wrote a measily 453 words, bringing my total to 44256. That is what mornings are for. Mondays tend to be great for me, especially if I get up early enough. So early night tonight and lots of coffee tomorrow.

    *rummages shelves for a single drop of alcohol*

     

    Ah... I have some rubbing ether, does that count?

     

    On a serious note, congratulations!
