NaNoWriMo 2009!

Being down the bottom of the world, our November 1 is already over! So, pretty good day today.

Total for the day: 4671

Fav line: "What can a bribe you with? Chocolate?"

You can tell what I was thinking about eh?

The words were flowing for me today--all that buildup waiting to start the book!  I feel like I'm off to a great start.

total:  4,767 words

Fav. line: 

Black and white.  Evidence.  Reality.  Proof.  Larissa chanted and skipped stairs in her rush to get out of the house.

Wow - Jax and Tina, that's an awesome start!

My WC: 1,809

Fave line(s): "There were a great many things he wanted to do with Phoenix. And talking was nowhere near the top of the list."

Okay... So I couldn't stop.  I am completely and totally in love with my hero!!  :-)

Today's word count: 5756

First word: Never

Last word: hero

Fave line(s): Slipping easily through the closing elevator doors, Aiden was able to advance further into the reflective cocoon. The numerous mirrors afforded him access to every angle of her ample curves. Teeth clenched, he wrestled with the impulse to depress the emergency stopper and have his way with her until the medical team arrived.

This has been a blast...  I just hope I can keep up with this pace!

Hope everyone else is having just as much fun!!! :-)

Sincerely,

Lolo Dee

I have started about midnight, wrote 2745 before turning in. working on two manuscripts, one is at 7947 I started it a couple of days ago with the other that I started at midnight at 2745.

Now my monitor on the desktop is going haywire on me...sigh and laptop gets shipped to HP for repairs.

Rhyanna

From the one started at midnite-

A Lover's Redemption  first word--Feeling   

Last word---not done yet trying to get as much done as possible during down time---laptop goes to HP tomorrow, monitor on desktop acting up, going blank on me :'(

UPdate last word for the evening: sorts, wc 3905

Fav line so far:

“Mael Hawk. Turn around nice and slow.” She shouts spying him sitting in his chair tilted on too legs. Watching his lips move, she reads them growling as she reads, “Not tonight darling I have a place to sleep and my needs taken care of.”“What you think this is a competition to have sex with you? I don’t think so?” She sneers. “Get up now.”

From Witchy Ms Wary MR.

First word-Why      Last word her, wc 1710

Fav line:

As Adelia leaves the room, Ethel shouts something unintelligible, so Adelia shouts, "At least my breasts are real, not puffed up with fabric or tissue." Then as she stomps out of the room, running right into the well proportion frame of one Marquis, Lord Damien Wessexon, one of the most sought after, desirable lovers and bachelor. The Forever Bachelor women call him. "Do these breasts look real to you?" She asks him, her hands on her hips, foot tapping as she waits for his pronouncement.

Oopss there goes the monitor on the desktop...sigh...

TOTAL WC - 5615

Rhyanna

Did not meet my goal today, but I have only had about an hour of typing today because sadly it turned out to be a busy day. (And I also got sucked into Karen Foley's book Hold On To The Nights). No more reading until after I meet my daily goal!

Today's word count:  1080

First word: Max

Last word:  Scotland

Fave line:  The bait was cast and Max desperately wanted to take a bite.

Now off to do my paperwork for work tomorrow.

Today's word count: 1959

First word: (for the day) The

Last word: (for the day) Body

Fave line: "She had flaming red hair.  It was long and wavy and flowed down her back like hot lava."

(Just noticed TabithAnne has a firey red-head too) 

Total Words: 1959

Going to write more.

Thanks Dee. That's sorta what I'd hoped to do. Just trying to juggle the +/- of the count. :)

Scratching the above numbers now that I'm done for the day; here's the new days' totals. First/last/fave line remain the same. 

Beginning today- total wc- 60173     Total wc today- minus 222              Ending total wc- 59951

Ridiculous, but that's what edits do-- And I am sooo not a mathmatician! Take away from too high a wc and add more back until it all balances to the total (50-55K) necessary to suit HAR.

Hopefully I'll get better counts tomorrow on the ten hour drive to brother's while dh drives. Otherwise, my total for tomorrow will be zilch with "Hi. How are ya?"s going on once we get to Illinois.

Kind of frustrated here.  I need to write 1K a day for 30 days to meet my goal of finishing the first draft of my Romantic Suspense.  Thing is, I just found out I'm having guests for 4 days in the middle of the month, and then I'm off to Costa Rica for a week over Thanksgiving.  Okay, I might write in CR, but no way with guests.  So, I'm trying to double up and do 2K a day for now.

 It sooo wasn't flowing today.  I did slop some stuff down though. I figure it can be edited.  Words on the page are what we're doing here.

Today's word count: 1856

First word: This

Last: Grimaldi

Fave line(s): “Some friend you are,” Dylan scoffed.  “No wonder she left you with the big bad wolf out to steal your fortune.” 
“Big bad wolf or king of swords?” Hamilton retorted and then winced at his amused grin.  Oh, well. Much better he think she was flirting than realize she considered him a possible player in Celestine’s tarot reading. Not that she took too much stock in the tarot. What shook her the most had been the terror in Celestine’s voice. 

Jax, I still have an hour and ten minutes to go until Nov. 2!

So impressed with the word counts I'm seeing!

Favorite Line(s):

Faking calmness, she grabbed a bottle of cleaning detergent and a paper towel and started wiping down the counter. “He is very strict, macho, vary strong. He’s a cop. He’s a jealous cop who doesn’t trust any man around me. He has guns. He’s supposed to be home any minute now.”            “Really?” He was even more amused now then before. Wasn’t he afraid of, say, a bullet to the brain? “Then why doesn’t he require for you to wear your wedding ring?”

What fun. The only problem is that I want to spend so much time reading everyone's comments. My word count for today is 2467, and I'm shooting for 50K, but since I'm starting on Day 2 instead of Day 1 I need to hustle a bit.

Not finished for today, but I just had to come share with everyone that I've passed the 10,000 word mark!! Now I'm entering the unfamiliar territory called the "middle of the book".  Eeeek, I'm scared. Okay, so, I'll check in later.

Okay - I missed day one and i am picking the Novel nano to get myself inspired to finish my book.  I am starting with 30, 603

I'm just tickled pink with all the fav lines... It was a brilliant idea!! :-)  Looking forward to reading more of them!

Wow... I spent more time today on research than typing! I found myself hitting walls often trying to make sure all the elements of my story were correct.

Someone PLEASE tell me to just write the story first and then go back and edit! LOL :-)

Hope everyone is meeting their goals and staying focused!!

Todays Word Count: 1855 - not what I was shooting for... but hey...

First Word: I

Last Word: design

Fav Line(s):  Her ex-husband, the jerk, was also prolific. In sleeping with other husband's wives. So, for the past three years of her life, Summer has accepted being one among the divorcee club and living life to the fullest. No man. No kids. No worries. Only, her biological clock continued to tick and alarm bells seemed to go off every time she eyed a family playing in the park, mothers sporting newborns in their snugglies or just the simple act of a man and woman holding each other’s hand in a public display of affection. No matter how many times she hit the snooze button, it didn’t change the fact time still moved on even if her life was stuck in pause.

Fun Fun Fun!!!

See ya'll tomorrow!

low count today, but better than yesterday. I'm still wrassling into my story.

Write or Die pumps the word count, but I'm feeling the need for more think-time at the beginning.

Course, that's what I was supposed to be doing in the week before NaNo!

:P~~~~~~~

"Someone PLEASE tell me to just write the story first and then go back and edit! LOL :-)"

Consider yourself told! I'm having trouble with that, myself. I keep erasing and then rewriting, and I need to STOP that and just write!!!!! 766 words so far, and I have a bit more time to write tonight. I didn't start until today, either. And I had no idea what I was going to write until I sat down at the keyboard and started typing. That's a first.

Fav Line:

"Cecilia!" Eben pounded on the door to the outhouse. "What happened to upset you?"
"Nothing, go away!" The stinch of the hole beneath her snaked into her notrils and the deeper she breathed in to sob, the more potent it became. She swung the door opened and tried to pass him, but he encircled her with one arm and held her captive.
"Don't! Let me go!"
