I'm Raven Wing.

ETA:  Is anyone other than me having  a lot of trouble with the NaNoWriMo site?  I can't get the forums to load and I don't know how to find the member list without being in the forums.

My NaNoWriMo name is elegantlion.  I've got my plot outlined and my characters all ready to go.  Got lots of coffee.  I homeschool my ds10 and he may get more "independent study" for November.

How's everyone who's participating doing?

 

My current word count is 10,121.  I seem to have run out of steam though as I haven't even written 2000 words yet today :(

 

Finally broke 12k!

After I finish my readings for tomorrow's classes, it's back to writing.  Hoping to break 15k today!

I'm at 8727 as of last night.  This is my first year as well.  I'm still in the "this is fun" stage, we'll see how that goes later in the month.

10:30 am - up to 10295 words.  I am working toward a gold medal in run on sentences, and random thought turned into mile long rabbit holes.

I'm kind of disppointed in myself. I was so excited about this and yet I haven't written one word yet. Oh well. I'm going to try to go write something now. My profile name there is starr4all.

Sure Kelsey. I get most of my icons off of liveJournal. I'm with you on the should be writing more but not. My excuse is the internet and 2 month old. He keeps me on my toes as well as his 6 year old and 3 year old brothers. So what is everyone writing about? I'm trying my hand at horror. More specifically zombies.

Mine is categorized under mainstream fiction.  It's a conglomeration of several people and phases of my life all under the guise of fiction. Most of the people are made up but some of the events are real, which makes it easier to write on and on about.

Tuesday pm total 12093/50000

I don't have livejournal, I'll have to check out photobucket.

I'm going with what I know best. Fantasy. I alway's loved the princess fairy talkes. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid... and so on and so forth, esp. the Disney versions, but what I really like, is different versions of them. But reading differant versions is that, though they are differant books, it's like the same plot line, mostly the same names. They may have changed one or 2 things, but come on! If I wanted to read the same thing over and over I would.

So, I made my own. I've started with Beauty and the Beast. With the Not So Beauty, and the Not So Beast.

And, I'm keeping it in the family. Princess Christabelle is 1 of 6 siblings. Heck, I got all kinds of fairy tale princess' right there =D

15321/50000 as of this morning.  OMG, I think this novel is taking on a life of its own.  It's not following any of my planned outlines.  I had to completely rethink where it is going this morning.

I know what you mean Paula. Seriously, how did I not know that the eldest princess has been sneaking off to the pub for the past 3 years with the stable hand? And without her siblings knowing?
