So tired and ready to play video games but I'm still going. Four chapters left that must be finished by Wednesday at midnight... I don't think I'm going to make it nor do I care 😫

I'll probably finish it Dec 3rd, I'm too exhausted to keep typing today.

Standard hangout info: the writing hangout will start in about half an hour. This will be on Google Hangouts, and the format is ten minutes of chat, then thirty minutes of writing with mics muted, repeated until we've gone for two hours (I'll have a timer going and will announce when writing periods start and end). Webcams aren't required, though several of us will have them. Mics are good for chat but also not required, as you can use the text chat. Or you don't have to chat at all, you can just chill with us for a bit and get some writing done. :)

Link for the hangout (quote to see):

I may be a minute or two late.

Woo, so close now. Just under 5k and I will be finished. I finally reached the climax of this act, which has been fun to write so far. I think these next few days will go quite nicely.

Almost there!

Goddamn it Epcott. Why do you always wait until I'm right about to pass your previous count, before updating! You've done this to me twice now :p

There's no way I'll pass you in the next three days.

Bummed that I won't finish as I didn't get nearly as much done over the weekend as I had thought I would. Still, I think I definitely will continue writing well past Nov. and go through some edits and actually try to get this published.

I got nothing to lose now. I'm giving my supervisor my one month notice tomorrow. lol

Reaching a relatively natural climax to the story now, so everything is ticking along at a much more sustainable pace.
 
I was banned for awhile but I hit the word count like 2 weeks ago? Maybe more? I just forgot to post in here.

The story isn't done yet so I still have work to do for the next three days. I set a goal to have the first rough draft of my novel done by the end of the month. I wasted a lot of time due to depression and life stuff getting in the way but I am maybe 10-20k away, which I can definitely pump out no problem.

Gonna watch some TV then jump back into it. I want to finish tonight in the 46k~48k range and then finish up tomorrow.

My last update before I finish - today or tomorrow at the latest. These few thousands are just bad writing, but hey it's word on paper. I'll sort it out after Nano.

It took five years of attempts but I finally finished one.

WC: 46,748 and I realized that I accidentally'd a trans acceptance allegory subplot.

The downside is that now I have to take a break to write a ten page paper. So close, and yet, so far.

YAY!

Consistent. Look at this, look how satisfying it is!

Nano site gives me a few extra words, generous! Not sure the story wraps up exactly how I wanted it to, like, maybe it leaves more questions than I wanted it to, but that's fixable. (I won't fix anything).

Win! I mean, I still have the last third of the story to write (though I did let myself have a bit of the dessert by writing the ending), but it still feels good to hit the 50k.

'Grats! That graph is the embodiment of consistency :eek: You are Nano-ist Wrimo.

Congrats on winning AND having an ending. Double win!

Sorry I wasn't able to complete it again this year. I'll try again next year when I'm out of school and thus will have more time. Hopefully.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I'm done! I have not completed the story, I have actually only barely reached a quarter of the outline I made for the it; but all in all I really enjoyed this challenge. Hopefully I can continue the rest of it next year. Good luck to the rest of ya, you can make it!

And here is my graph:

*Opens steam to buy all the games before sale ends*

So close. This writing session went quick. It's an intense scene that is bringing out the evil in me. But it has to be done. This madness has to exist. But there will be retribution. Do not worry, MCs.

Um... Yeah. I might've slipped up a bit... Thanksgiving vacation hit me and now I'm here.

...Best get to writing, then.

And finished! Ah man, that feels good. Even managed to tie it up in a somewhat satisfactory way, where I can continue easily.

Congrats to the other winners as well.

Now, I think it's time I throw away my keyboard for a week and hope my sleeping rhythm gets back to normal again..

So close now. I've got a 16+ hour day on my feet tomorrow, so hopefully I'm in some sort of fit state when I get back to at least get 1000 or so words done.

Then it's the home stretch, baby!

Act four is wrapped up, and I even shed a few tears at the end of that last chapter, which is always a pleasant surprise. Hopefully that comes through in what I wrote.
