Young Writers Society

When I first heard about NaNoWriMo and read some of the old posts on here, I thought it would be late nights, billions of chocolate bars and putting off homework.

Instead, it's deciding whether I should continue writing in the middle of the afternoon and having plenty of time for other things (such as reading, going on YWS and putting off homework (it's not NaNoWriMo, I just don't like maths!)).

What about you guys, especially the newbies like me? Is it pretty easy or the most challenging thing you've ever done?

Well, this is both. I love doing NaNo. I don't really find it easy, because I push myself for perfection. I have challenged myself for 5k words EVERY DAY. And I plan to do that. I love writing NaNo, because of my ideas and my story. I just love it.

This is my first year, and I love it. What about everyone else?

My word count is: 8494. I still need 2k more words before tonight is through!

Good writing people!

Ah, the enthusiasm of week one. Hopefully, it'll stay with you, but watch out for the week two blues.

I'm getting week one blues......I dont even want to think about week two..

I'm sick, so...it's rather more painful than the last two years, but I like my stories a lot better. ^_^

Yeah, it feels easy so far, but plan to take it slowly. About 2k or more words a day is enough for me. I'm prepared for those week two blues that I've heard oh-so much about, so I'll just have to keep ahead of the game, even just by a little. XD

Mmm, I found it easier than expected to break the first 1k, then my time ran out and I've had exams, so it's been something of an ordeal so far. It doesnt help that, for some weird reason, anything I attempt to write in the day seems to turn into crap unless I'm in a really good writing mood, which is rare. I think I just write better after 1am. Which is sooo not good for exams >.<

This is my second year, but I remember my first year seemed extremely easy at first. I got through about a week and then the real work set in. I was so excited at first that I just rushed through everything, got extraordinarily ahead and then lost a few days one weekend when I didn't write anything at all.

The discipline of it was hard for me. Trying to write for several hours EVERY DAY. It was insane. And then by the last week, I was loving it again. NaNoWriMo really isn't that hard, if you just stick to the 50,000 word mark. Sometimes you have to set your own goals after you see what you're capable of.

I got second week blues even before the first week had finished. Now I'm in-the-middle. I know I need to catch up, but on the other hand, I counted up my chapters, and found that if I write all the ones I have planned out, I'll go over 50,000, so that's good. Add on the ones I still haven't got a good idea about, and I'm happy.
