NaNo and forums like Trisphee have literally become my only sources of procrastination from schoolwork, so even though I scrapped my NaNo thing, it'll partly be a measure of how much free time I have x'D

i hear you there SparX. i'm about to start writing now.

My current grand total is 1804 new words, and 5 chapters edited. So, technically, I'm ahead of the game despite not writing at all yesterday save for those errand 4 words (chapter title changes) at 3 this morning which still counts as today.

LOL, Potironette!

cool, Quiet Man! =)

I started doing a character chart for the first time. Somehow, I got distracted with doing half-baked research on firewood because the main character's supposed to be a logger, woops.

One hundred or so words just now. Taking the course in MS Office had really helped out for this. The magic of an automatically generated table of contents is highly useful in a project like this. Document is so far small enough that scrolling is manageable still, but it will get bigger.

i should take a picture of my 'notes' i made for this NaNo. it's laughable. XD

Mangled my word count update. Thankfully I wrote it down here two posts ago so I could fix it up.

Mmmmm.
Making chapters.
I've just been writing without thinking about that D:

I would love it if people would listen to me when I say I need to be left alone T.T

My manuscript is already organized into chapters so it's easy to keep going with it. I'm editing chapter by chapter in lumps. Pretty easy to follow. Not sure how well my commentary will fit in but we'll see. I've decided to pass the manuscript to my aunt to look over when I'm done for her input before I print anything. I think she would like to see it, and she's also not the type to pull her punches if she has an opinion on something. Since I refer to family members and friends who would be identifiable to other family reading the thing, I want to be sure I'm not doing anything that's going to rock the boat too much.

SparX - headphones are good for that sort of thing.

I've had re-occurring ear infection this year so I stopped using the headphones I have until I can get a good over the ear pair D:

oh that's no fun at all. *hugs*

Good headphones are always worth the money. I had a pair of Razer Krakens that my fiend gave me but while I loved them they were too heavy and I would head big headaches if my posture was bad. I have an LG set now, and passed the old pair forward to my brother who needed a pair.

If I'm not in a socializing mood, I'll leave them on without any sound going on, or have them on if I just feel like dampening the room noise around me,

Congratulations to Trys for winning NaNo.

How did the rest of you do? I don't see any more posts after the 8th.

hey Zen! thanks! =)
