NaNoWriMo Word Count: Day 1

Not sure if this is how it's done. Tried to go on the site to input words in for a word count but site is down. I doubt I'll put a word count up everyday. Maybe once a week?

So far so good. Worked on "Reinventing Pavlov" for Star Trek and "Eye of the Storm" for Torchwood. So far:

"Reinventing Pavlov" = 2086 words
"Eye of the Storm" = 3190 words

Hm, the count feels a lot small than it felt like typing it. The goal was 50K?

(thud)

And that was day 1...

Dude, you do know that's one heck of a lot more than anybody expects just for their first day, right?
-is duly impressed-
I've only managed about 200 words today (being at work may have had something to do with this, however :P)

*thud* You did great!

I got 1,517 so far today, then left to give a friend computer lessons, (this is a mouse, this is your keyboard where you type letters with). I'm hoping for 2,000 words tonight but will be happy with the 1,667 needed.

I went to the site to and I'm thinking the first day, everybody is doing the last minute sign up. I'm going to try to post my daily word count here and there. Just so that I can see that I'm making progress.

well done! may I suggest setting up a spreadsheet in XL that graphs your daily count and shows how far you've come and how far left to go. I found it really motivational last year.
Keep it up - it's good to bank a good count at the beginning for days when you won't be able to do so well or even have to miss completely.

Oh, I'm so looking forward to more Torchwood from you.

That's brilliant ... you only need to average 1667 words per day.

You're at 5276 - that's like three days worth! Brilliant.

Wow! That's really impressive! Can't wait for the results, both for Reinventing Pavlov and Eye of the Storm, although I have to admit, that I long for Eye of the Storm a little more :)
