Well, midnight approaches and I'm on track to spend the beginning of NaNo sick as a dog. I slept from 2 to 6, so I guess at least I'll have my word count up by the time I wake up tomorrow. I have hot chocolate, I have tea, and best of all, thanks to this collection of word count meters, I've found one that I really like, since Zokutou seems to have bitten the dust.

This is likely to be my last public post for a while. If I've missed anyone who would like to read The Falling Woman as it's spit out, please comment or fill out the poll below. Good luck and happy writing, everybody!

It's the end of the first day here, so I hope you were feeling better and got some words down!

Many thanks! After sleeping for four hours yesterday afternoon, last night I could barely sleep at all, so I think I wrote about four pages in a notebook between 1 and 2 AM! Now it's 7 (thanks, DST!), so looks like the day is ripe with possibility! (I am so, so manic right now.)

But of course! I am fascinated to see how this unfolds.

Also, I am not officially NaNoing, but I'm hoping to ride the wave of everybody else's productivity to inspire myself towards greater and more consistent plugging away at my own ongoing project. And I feel the need to inform you that that last round-up of posts and links of yours has made me all fired up to work on structuring my story and scribbling all over paper and charting things out and making decisions!

...Some of which I cannot actually do yet until I've done more research, but all the same I think one of these days soon I'm taking a bunch of markers and pens and scribbling paper to a coffeeshop and seeing what kind of burst of Esther-inspired productivity I can manage. :D

Ohmygoodness, so marvelous on all counts, particularly the organizational stuff! Victory arms and lessthanthrees, lady! I fully support anything that combines art supplies, wacky fictional hijinks and coffee shops. ♥

Well, I am all in the organizational/worldbuilding stages now, and will be for a good while yet. Actual writing is some long ways off on the horizon; I am an outliney kind of writer, and this is by far the most prep work-heavy project I've ever seriously attempted. (Also the longest. The two are not unrelated!)

There will so be scribbling. Internetly high-five!

(Man, if only we could teleport to have a write-in in the same coffeeshop. So epic! So not happening, but so epic!)
