*high-fives* We're lazy 0-on-day-1 writers, and we're here to say: the internet had some interesting stuff on it. |

Hey everyone!
2/1 It's 2pm here where I am and I've gotten 1,555 words written thus far, but not of the actual novel... That was the chapter outline. XD But, I still have 5 hours before my Husband gets home and 4 before I have to stop and get dinner started. So, I should be able to write more between now and then. My productivity lowers to almost nothing once he gets home, though.
Thanks for doing this! It's really motivational!
Good luck!
2/1 Edited: Ended up writing 2,500 words total today and 1,000 of those were towards the actual novel on top of the 1500 for the chapter outline.
2/2 Edited: Going to try and write more, but may not get to.
Day 1 Total: 2,555
Day 2 Total: 2,307

Love the hashtag : #60KinFeb about to tweet! Everyone else like it? So, listening to a "man hater" playlist...trying to get to know my new character Maycee for this 3rd book who has a "vlog" dedicated to empowering women who have been screwed over by cheaters. Alanis Morissette...Beyonce...Christina Aguilera...The Ting Tings... Anyone else do that when you're working with a new character? Okay, break's over.  Back to writing. Just want to say hi to you all and tweet u! I'm @lacycamey Will be back to post my numbers. Good luck all of you! |

Total so far: 5080.
Feb. 1: I got 1245 over lunch on Secret Project B. Hoping for about that much again later tonight. Tuesdays/Thursdays are hard days for me so I'm going to have to get a little more on other days to make up for that. 8:40 PM: I'm now at 2200. I want another 300 or so words tonight, to bring me to 2500 for the day, so that I don't get behind tomorrow. 10:14 PM: 2514 total, not including the 500 or so words I deleted. That sets me up great for tomorrow, which is a substantially busier day at work. Goal for tomorrow: 1700.
Feb. 2: 8 AM: 770 before work. I'm going to try for 1000 over lunch. 1:03 PM: Whee! A fantastic lunch. 1791. That puts me at 2561 for the day, and 5080 total for the month. I'm 1/12th of the way to 60K! I have editing stuff to do tonight on another project, so I probably won't get any new words done for the day, but I'm ahead of schedule.

First of all, welcome to KB, Tony.
My stats: the Xbox and a Monster LoCarb got my son out of my hair. I helped him with his homework (writing a report, ironically, with a minimum word count) and then he coached me on mine. Go Mom!
So, for today: 2,291
Yay me. I'm writing seat-of-my-pants on this one. No outline. Lots of dialogue. Changing major background events in the middle of a scene and making a note (Scrivener sidebar rocks) to go back later.
In other words, writing like it's NaNoWriMo.
As a cosmic reward, right after I finished I went to pick up three small children from school, a teacher informs me my rear tire is flat. Miles from home or a gas station. It looked like a cartoon flat, smooshy but not blown. So, naturally, I risked life and limb and drove home with three very wide-eyed kids in the back hoping we didn't die.
I hate adventures. That's why I write.
Anyway, we all survived to write another day. Best of luck everyone!

Day 1 --> 2,395 words (quite possibly a personal one-day best).
Like Gretchen, I'm writing a TON of dialogue, though I do have a rather solid outline to go with this project (also realizing that if I make the 60K, I'll have finished this in half the time I've budgeted myself, which means I'm going to have to start plotting the second novel in the series NOW). I am also giving myself permission to just write and acknowledge that a lot of this is probably going to be crap that will be massively rewritten come March.
However, the xBox is going to be my reward and now I can play ARKHAM CITY and GOTHAM CITY IMPOSTERS feeling no guilt.

Oh, hell. I'm behind already. But it's only 8:30 here and I do my best writing at night. Actually, I do my only writing at night, day job and all that. Onward and upward...

Is it a bad idea to write with a can of frosting sitting next to the keyboard?

Not if you have a straw. Keeps the hands free for typing. |

Ugh. I didn't think I'd still be in the middle of rewrites. CRAP.
Still gonna do it, though. I'm just going to lose about a week.

By the way, is there a widget on KB or can somebody do this on their blog where we can write our name, post our daily numbers and it keeps a running tally? It would help keep things a little organized and we can all see at a a glance, what others are doing.
Then, it would be cool if someone could post that once a week. (I'm not suggesting people don't post on here, far from it, but it would be kind of cool to see that weekly update.

I only got 2230 words done, but I published a novella and drew a map! That's got to count for something, right?  |

I'm working on my manuscript for my first book which I got back from the editor. I'm also working on the marketing side of the book but I need to work on my second book ( I haven't touched in a while) so this might be the kick in the pants I need. I'm in. Let's see it's 8:00 PM and I'm at zero words... better get busy.  |

I'll definitely participate in this. My total for today . . . (drum roll please) . . . A whopping 0 words! I know. I know. Bet you all are seething with jealousy. Really though, I'd taken a break from working on my book and had been reacquainting myself with the work I had done on it these last couple of weeks. I'm dedicating all of Saturday to start cranking out that word count, though I may get in about 1000 Friday afternoon after work. Good luck everyone! Feb 1: 0 Total so far: 0 |

Cripes on a pogo-stick. Day 1 and I don't even know what I'm writing about. I did manage to pub a SS, take an obligatory 2 hour phone call from my Mom (who lives 5 minutes away), deal with 2 different wedding contracts/ inquiries (I'm a photographer as well) and a whole bunch of other Shite that is too mundane to list.
But I'll do better, I promise! I'll even take my laptop to work tomorrow so I can write while I should be working. Any one have a spare plot laying around?
jk... I've got a whole trunk-full of plot orphans. Now to just pick one!
Day1: Goose egg. Nada, Zilch.
Day2: (can't be any worse than day 1, now can it?)

Well, I see I'm not the only one who had a hard time getting underway today...or didn't at all  I'm sick, so I wasn't highly motivated anyway...and then it was the hubby's day off, and ladies, we all understand that we can't accomplish beans with a man underfoot, right? That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. It wasn't a total loss, but not nearly what I anticipated for the day. Day 1: 677. |

Day 1: 1,368 words. Not as much as I'd hoped to do, but I'm happy with it. About half of the words were written for the novella I've been working on, but the other half were written for a short story that I got an idea for while sitting at a red light tonight. I love when ideas hit you like that from out of nowhere. |

Despite busy-busy daughters, new comics, proofing that demands to be done, forgetting how to write after two months of nothing but outlining and editing and the ever-present siren song of Dark Souls, I managed 5,000 words for my first day. I'll probably try to do another two and a half thousand before sleeping, it's only ten-thirty after all.
