LiNoWriMo Litopia Novel Writing Month (LiMoWriMo)

[Geoff]

After a disappointing day, I am now on a roll. Spent most of he day, and a 2am to 4am stint, to complete 4K. Reread this morning and the early morning writing is actually fine. I have done a.m. scribbling before, but it has usually been somewhat lacking ... actually that may have been due to the wine input the previous evening. Whether, I will reach goal, who knows, but I am a much easier section, so who knows. I agree with Matt, a big thank you to Nicky!

Wow!!!!! Fantastic

 

[RK Wallis]

I've slowed down to give some deep thought to where I'm headed. I'd like this to be a series (it's so much fun to write), just have to figure out how and make it a satisfying read.

 

[wrightstuff]

OK. It's 23k and done for me. That's about 2/3rds of my moderated target. At least I now have the skeleton of the novel worked out.

Apart from (as always) underestimating how busy I am in November, it has been an 'interesting' month.

 

[Nikky Lee]

1450 words last night. Dare I say it, but I think Act 1 is done (at least until I realise I've forgotten something and have to go back and add it in).

Bring on Act 2/Fun and Games.

Monthly total: 26.1k
WIP total: 45k

(it's so much fun to write) Spot on! We get bogged down, I certainly do. frustrated, the number of times I have sworn "that's it, had enough, I am wasting my life, I am taking up DIY .....' But when things go right, the Sun smiles and it is all blue skies... well until the next problem.

One day left to write *checks notes* 10,000 words.

But you will make it at some point. It doesn't matter about November. You've made a great start to pick up in December or the new year.

It's better than 0!

Well, it's the 30th and I got to 16k. My goal was 20k but I'm very pleased with what I've achieved. Huge thanks to @Nikky Lee for setting this up and for being a great example to us all with her industrious output!

Well done everyone! Whatever your word count, every sentence written is a step in the right direction and a testament to your dedication, skill and imagination I'm very proud of us all!!!

 

[Nikky Lee]

Okay, scrapping in here (I started a day late, so I'm finishing a day late—yep, that's an excuse and I'm 100% sticking to it!).

Final totals for the month:
WIP: 49k
Monthly total: 30.1k





Thank you to everyone who joined in! Loved seeing you all make progress in one way or another!

Wel

And the Google Doc word count tracker spreadsheet

Ah, i forgot to update that. I was at 7000 come the finish

 

[Becca T]

Well, I made to 34.956 words rewritten, including approximately 3.000 words added. Not too shabby. I think I set my original goal too high considering how busy school tends to be this time of year. But no matter... I'm further along, and I intend to keep going at roughly the same pace through December. Thanks all - it was nice knowing others were doing the same.

 

[Aethalope]

I got the main scenes, character arcs, important interactions, emotional highs and lows, etc. blocked out, which was my goal and I am happy with that. Now to let it lie and flesh it out later.
Thanks for organizing this, @Nikky Lee , it was a lot of fun!

Congrats all you first drafters! So many words! I resubmitted Feckless, to two contests. One under Reckoning with a change of the name for a market survey. Submitted to a publisher. Rewrote a story for another contest and got a good start on my extended ending for Feck/Reckless. So I'm not disappointed with my month. Thanks again to Nikki for organising. Please let me know if the Liteditmo month goes forward. I think it would be invaluable.

Now I have to go make a gallon of gravy with ONE turkey neck and two wingtips. Where do the giblets go in Anglo Saxon country? This bird was using those innards not a week ago so....

 

[Jonny]

Big congratulations to those who did this and saw it through to the end of the month (unlike some... err... that would be me then).

Quite an achievement and a very special well done to Nikky for organising the event.

 

[wrightstuff]

Thank you Nicky. I would otherwise be starting the process in January, whereas I will have my plot and framework done by the end of this year - I'm very grateful for the prod.

 

[Geoff]

Spent last week on a short holiday in Madeira, and slipped a little. Well, it was a bit of a battle - tapping away in an hotel room looking out at a perfect blue sky, or, trying to ,tap away in the warm gentle sunshine. The sunshine may just have won that one... But now back in a windy, rain drenched Kent, the words have regained their rightful place.
