Peer pressure or cheerleading?

All of it on my Yuletide fic. I should have started writing earlier, then I would be done today. But it's definitely tomorrow unless I get cold feet!

Aw, nonnie -- I don't like to post anything on my "zero" days, either... one of which will probably be tomorrow. I'm moving on to my last fic and need to do some more planning before I really get into the writing.

I'd hoped to write 30-45K during November so I wouldn't be writing 'til the last minute, and I've got 10-15K to go, so it may just work out. Crossing fingers and averting eyes from letter post. No more treeeeetz 'til this is done.

Jesus how long is it going to take to post all of those?

Good on you, nonny, for treating so many people and doing so much, but I don't envy you your posting day!

17th was an excellent day for me - 31 drabbles down, taking me to 139 total.

Yeah, I'm hoping everyone gets their assignments in on time and Madness opens relatively early!

*fingers crossed*

Don't give up hope yet! As coalie below says, I haven't been able to post any of them yet. If you are in the Spreadsheet, with an easy fandom, your chances are good ;-)

*waves pompoms* You go, coalie!

WELL?

I've managed a few hundred words a day for a couple of days, all on the same assignment. It's close to 5k now and in the final scene or next-to-final one. \o/

I've written today (18th) but I'm not done yet, so I'll post later with tally. I don't really know if I'll hit my 20k for the month goal or not, but as long as I get 2-3 stories finished, I'll still be happy.

WOW. That's a lot. You go, nonnie!

Big fat goose egg, as I'd expected. Actually, I've written a couple of hundred words from the very end of the fic, but I'm not sure I'll keep them, so they don't count.

Well, I wrote 400 words on my shitty essay for school. Fic doesn't seem to be happening right now (or for the last couple days). Especially since this essay is due in two days and I'm nowhere near done. I hate this class.

Assignment draft is DONE! Topping out around 3k, which is about average for me, but written at a much faster pace than I would normally write 3000 words. It still needs editing but I am so glad to gotten this far. I don't know if I would have without you guys, and I mean that sincerely. Having these check-in posts every day has been a major help.

Now I'm free to start writing treats, yay!

Resurfacing after a hellish two weeks at work.

6,249 words.

I should be at 9,000 today, but I'm not quite there yet. However, given that I was only at about 3k yesterday, I'm calling it a win. I still have some time tonight, so I'm hoping to catch up completely by the 20th.

Today: 1,200 words
Pledged: 20k by December 1st
November Total: 6,050

Over 1k of today's words are a story I started and finished today. I will probably expand it, but it can stand as it is. That's a good feeling.

Congratulations, nonny! Have fun with the treats!

Now that I'm writing again... :D

Pledged: 500/day
Should be at: 9,500
Actually at: 10,100

I'm caught up! \o/

Go you!!

That's awesome, I'm so pleased for you!

That is a GREAT feeling!

Go go Challenger!

Slow day, as expected:
