    I'll will stop and restart so many times that I'll blow 50k away, but have absolutely nothing to show for it... like always. Who knows? Maybe this year will be the year for something coherent?

    You know, I’m going to try this year. Never tried it before, but why not.

    I will say I'm going to do it, I will dream of doing it, then I will celebrate Christmas.

    This Silirt dude is absolutely deranged. Literally Brandon Sanderson levels of productivity.

    If I can be as half as consistent with my writing as @Silirt I’d be ecstatic.

    Gonna try this year, I know I can hit if I stay disciplined… except I’m really fucking bad at staying disciplined lol.

    Good luck to everyone else out there

    Collar & leash, paddle, knee boots: all check.

    *mumble mumble*

    Never mind; wrong kind of discipline.

    After day 2, I'm sitting at 3.5k. I've been powering through even though I don't have much of an outline. It's also fanfic, though, so lacking a thorough outline hasn't been that bad. I'm definitely going to have to plan a bit more if I'm going to end up with anything coherent, but all things considered, I'm pretty happy. How is everyone else doing?

    10959 words currently... and I've only started over once!

    I've never had a problem writing massive amounts; it's the, "Oh, this really sucks balls," thing that I have to deal with at the end of that day's segment.

    2.5k words myself.

    Unlike @Heather_Sinclair, I've always had an issue writing massive amounts. However, what I do write tends to be quite good. I keep 90% of my writing between drafts unless I'm reworking the whole scene or decided to go a completely different direction.

    I'm not doing nano this year(hasn't been as fun since they moved to a new site); I'm going to keep working on this original project I started back in September instead. I just returned from a trip so I'll be adding up all the words in my backlog and putting them into the chart soon enough.

    Besides that, nanowrimo has been going well. I’m at 26000 words. Hoping I can get to 28333 by morning.
