I'm at 25K finally! (Actually I'm at 26K.)

I'm behind though. Should've got here two days ago. Oh well, only 2400 til I'm caught up. :/

Eek. NaNoWriMo has approached again, sneakily. How is it November again?!

I'm currently at 4,085 words, although I'm not done for the day. All the words I've done today have been on editing, since I was hating it so far, so much that I couldn't bear to touch it until I had fixed it up. But as long as I get today's count done, I'm on target, and haven't fallen behind YET.

And the newbies that I adopted, Dally and Jay-the-Guitarist are doing great so far, which makes me all proud. Dally's got more words than me at the moment, actually. I think I should go and change that...

It's that time again!

I got my 20K in August. 20,444 at final count.

Whee, NaNoWriMo is coming up again! And I have a plot! Which I like! Almost as much as exclamation marks!

Yeah... Um. Well, I'm gonna be writing about a girl who has run away from home. She's the daughter of a lord and she finds herself on a pirate ship, and part of a plan to free the slaves.

I'm worried how badly it's gonna turn out, and how bad Sazzy is gonna ruin all possible moral... :/

So, yeah... Positive thoughts, positive thoughts.

I'm now doing another writing challenge at April Fools. Even though it's August.

20K words in a month. I'm gonna do it this time. And I'm NOT going to let Sazzy convince me to change my goal. No way, José.

I'm not actually sure what I'm going to write. But I'm sure I'll find something. Especially if Lily updates the damn tag.

Grr.

Mmkay, haven't updated for ages. Apologies to anyone who actually reads this.

Well, I'm working on two stories. One's about this girl who runs away from her parents and ends up on a pirate ship. I'm not entirely sure where that came from, but the planning stage is going pretty darn well.

The other is a tagteam with the wonderful Lily (PK/Indilwen). It's about an American girl who moves to England, stumbling upon the popular crowd of a prestigious boarding school, and infiltrating it, bringing one English wallflower along for the ride. 'Tis here and here.

Yep...

Katty.

[Edit: Oh, and I failed April Fools. *bows head in shame* I got something like 27K.]

I'm doing April Fools. My goal is 30K for the month, although I don't know whether I'll do it or not.
(I spend ages, trying to make it all pretty and have the images on here for my progress bar. I give up.)

I'm on 25,935 / 30,000
(86.5%)
I hope so, but I'm not here on Sunday, and it'll be cutting it a bit close. I need 2K tonight, and 2K tomorrow night to do it. Eep.

Wish me luck.

Katty.

[Edit: I did it! Yay. Even though there's a weird gap...)

I finished my NaNovel FINALLY, last night, while I was at my uncle's house. He was fixing my computer up, so I did it on there. I was quite upset that I finished it while Sazzy wasn't online though, since she should get a heck of a lot of the glory too.

But I don't know, it doesn't really feel like it's completed. I don't have that "ahh, it's done" feeling. Maybe because now I've gotta edit it all.

About five times.

But I like it. :) Even if it does need a lot of fixing.

I did it.Yup. 50,000 words in a month.

And I'm damn proud of myself :)

Well, I don't know how often this xanga will be updated now, but hopefully it'll be at least monthly updates.

I'm probably going to be finishing off my NaNovel, and then editting it. And well, if I get bored, then possibly the sequel, which I have an idea for.

I should probably work of Power Of Four as well, since it's been neglected in the rush of my NaNovel, and just plain lazyness.

I might have another go at HP fanfiction, MWPP-era, as well as possibly something small for Mediator, or maybe something else, I'm not really sure. Maybe VM.

Oh, and I was thinking of doing a few short, little fluffy stories, a couple of thousand words each.

Well, that should keep me busy :)

It's a totally different point to whether any of these things will ever get done though. :)
