I passed 50k yesterday. Now aiming for 100k....

**peanutter** · November 14th, 2013, 07:22 PM

good work!!

I'm naughty and haven't hit 20K yet

In other writing new though, a poem of mine has been accepted for a show and so I have to do my first public reading (post uni) tomorrow

Help!

**onthefly** · November 14th, 2013, 07:23 PM

oh wow! That's very exciting!

**peanutter** · November 14th, 2013, 07:35 PM

Terrifying!! I'm not even the least bit shy about public speaking (would be problematic, in my area of work!) but this subject matter (trafficking) is very close to my heart, and while I can talk about the subject (with or without a microphone) until the cows come home, the thought of reading a poem about it is very different. Very personal. Not just information and a call to action, ITMS.

Oh yeah, that's a big deal. You'll knock em dead, though

**Ladylove** · November 14th, 2013, 08:11 PM

Wow Peanutter! That is great news.

I'm trudging along- woeful daily word counts but I'm getting there. Just excited to be writing most days.

**Ladylove** · November 19th, 2013, 02:10 PM

I've hit about 5000 words. Woeful! But I haven't started from scratch, I am trying to finish a novel but at about 17 and a half words all up I've got a long long way to go.

Peanutter I pinched your writing idea- I'm writing during my lunch break for my three days at work on top of my other days.

**onthefly** · November 19th, 2013, 05:39 PM

You mean 17 and a half thousand words? That's great.
I'm aiming for 100k now...

**Ladylove** · November 19th, 2013, 09:43 PM

Oops yes 17 and a half thousand. But only 5000 in Nanowrimo.

**onthefly** · November 20th, 2013, 07:27 AM

Was wondering how you managed the half word

**Jellyfish** · November 20th, 2013, 07:48 AM

I've given up lol. Too many other priorities at the moment so have decided instead of this I will just make an effort to write something each day.

**Ladylove** · November 20th, 2013, 08:55 AM

MadB as in approximately 17,500!

**onthefly** · November 20th, 2013, 09:40 AM

Yep, I gotcha!

I won't mention how many I've written.

**peanutter** · November 20th, 2013, 08:12 PM

I'm plod plod plodding along.

I'm at a conference this weekend, so I don't know what I'll get to when the bell tolls, but I'm tentatively hopeful ...
