FigNoWriMo Kick-off Thread!

Postby Figment on Sun Feb 01, 2009 4:00 am

Ok, so it is the first of Feb here... Now 15 hours into the month, but I am moving! I am at just over 1,050, and still writing. Only about 750 more till I am over my count needed for the day! :D

I'm going for at least 1,800 a day to make sure I am on top of it!

What are your plans, and how are you going? (once you start obviously.)

I was too tired to get anything done last night, and I officially blame Fox Sports for my low word count (676 at the moment). It's not my fault they had football (soccer) on non-stop until 2.30pm!!!
(And now I'm watching the cricket... :shock: )
A common misconception is that dragons hoard gold. This is half true. Dragons have an unusual sense of value and will actually hoard *anything* they get their claws on. This could be gold coins, or any coins, cds, and other shiny things, through to toys, plushies and oddly shaped leaves, colourful stones and fancy international bottlecaps.

My full wordcount is 1,951 but because there was 484 to begin with it's really only 1,467.

I need to write 1,250 a day to get to 35K by the end of February and that's what I plan to do. It worked with NaNo!

On day 4 I am at 4,316. I should be at about 5,484 but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it there by the end of the day.

On day 6 I should be at 7,500 but I'm a little behind at 6,902. But I'm keeping up pretty close and should hopefully bridge the gap by tomorrow.

I'm not even going to bother giving my word count because I'm so ridiculously far behind on this.
I'm making decent progress with other stuff though! :P

4483 words...I am moving right along! Just ignore the fact that there are only 11 days left in February...15k isn't all that much. I'd say I have about 20 pages left to write. That's not much. ^^ Although it is complete hell when you're reading/writing 20 pages where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS. D:

I needed a place to put how many words I'd written...and I couldn't find one. D: Don't kill me, pommie! *cowers*

Yeah I'm doing crap. I've spent most of the month plotting and backstory-ing.

^I haven't even been doing that, and I still have a horrifically low word count :P

Seeing as nobody else seems to have noticed...

FigNo is officially over! ^^ ...actually it was two days ago. REGARDLESS, I didn't get anything done. *proud* How about everyone else; how did you guys do?

Yes, FigNo did sneak away from us there didn't it?
I think I got to about 2,000 :P
