Consider this the "good twin" of the "Have a NaNoWrant" thread; balance the forum's karma by sharing your positive NaNoWriMo experiences so far, whether it's being ahead on your word count, pleased with a particular scene, character or line, whatever - if it's good news, gloat about it!

Ooooh. Yay.

This whole novel makes me incredebly happy. It's working out wonderfully, and for a first draft, it isn't so badly written! I love my characters so much, everything is coming out wonderfully and this makes me so darn happy to finally be writing it. It is my masterpiece.

And I'm ahead on word count!

I'm ahead on word count and on a very lovely cruise control.

Things have been going really smoothly. I love it. 8)

I love my story so far, and I'm about 5,000 ahead of what I planned. :D It's one I've wanted to write for ages, but I never fully let myself. I'm sure I'll have a rant later in the month when I have exams, though. ;)

I am hopelessly in love with my characters. ^_^ The story is starting to come along, but the characters make me feel like crying, sighing and dancing all at the same time. *feels warm and fuzzy inside*

OH, MY GOD.

I'm throwing myself a party. Not only have I gotten over my temporary apathy, but I have a new character who I just love and adore to bits. Screw you, Meriwether and Lawrence (or screw each other, I don't care). Henry is my new favorite character (which probably means he is doomed, because my favorite characters always die - maybe I can break the trend).

I love you, Henry Britton, you pompus, violin playing person, you!

edit: I can't get over how much I adore Henry. I love him more and more as I get to know him. :D

Well, I love my characters more than anything else in the world! I don't know how I could have made them up on my own...well anyway:

I am ahead on word counts (13k so far!!!!!)

I love writing! It is so much fun! I am moving at a reasonable speed and every bit of it is making me happier by the second!


Good job, guys!

Plot bunnies! PLOT BUNNIES! They are hopping in my head. And yes... the next scene is going to involve an obscene amount of cupcakes! Should they be chocolate though? Hmm...

My actual writing has gone downhill, but I now have a couple of writing buddies. One of them didn't start until day eight, and is playing frantic catch-up, but it's good, because it means I have someone hanging out in my dorm, writing, and there's something inspiring about the clack of someone else's keyboard, you know?

I just finished the scene where Carl's vati accidentally discovers the ruins of a small town...

Which means the plot can start now. Which means that people die. Soon. *squee* I'm so excited. XD
