*Waves hand in a jedi-like fashion* You're iiiiiiinn!!

No seriously, though. You could try, not like you lose anything!

On other news, I've unfortunately started my first NaNo at 00:01, grrr. Well, doesn't matter. Apparently I can produce more or less 14 words in a minute - that means I could just write two hours every day and win NaNo in a month. I'm feeling really positive right now  ;D

Yes! Iiiiiinnnn! I have so much homework but I'm going for it!

I'm not going to stay up till midnight... I need to catch up on my sleep, so I'm - hopefully unless homework conspires against me - going to bed early. I'm a morning person anyway, so I'll probably set my alarm for four.

Seven hours!

You write faster than me apparently. By just a little.

AAH you guys have word counts now


I'm being way too excited over all of this.

If you could give us feedback on how you like Scrivener, that would be nice - I haven't yet got the advantages of it.

Okay, I'll be sure to, maybe in a few days once I've been using it for a while. :)

No, you are not too excited. I figure that's not possible. XD

Does anyone have any idea why my excerpt is currently an insane amount of gibberish?

I have no clue, but that is truly impressive gibberish.

Well, I had a peek, and I noticed that one thing repeated a bunch was "LSD Exception"...Was the website high or something?

Uh...it looks like a style sheet of some sort, plus some random elements? From Word? I have no idea.

(assuming you go by Forum Time)

1 hour, 13 minutes to go!

One on hand, it's only one hour. One the other hand, I'm really really tired.  :'( I guess I'll start bright and early tomorrow.

I... tried copy pasting in a paragraph from word. I guess that's where it comes from? I didn't know this would happen I swear!

2,763 according to word... That's nearly twice as many words as you actually wrote!

Four hours, ten minutes till midnight! (I'm not going to stay up that long, it's just fun to do a count-down.)

I am going to stay up...I am going to stay up...Thank goodness it's only 56 minutes 'til midnight. :P I swear, it's like my story has been bouncing around my head for the last week. It's starting to get annoying, so I must let it out as soon as possible. Ooh, only 55 minutes now.

UPDATE: Twoooo minuteeessss!!!

How's everyone's NaNo going? Me, I've already got sort of a plot. Yahoo, yay me! That said, I still have about 1000 words to write if I want to reach the daily goal...

I also have a sorta-plot. I have reached my goal for today (though I have no intention of stopping now) and have kinda introduced both my main characters. One of them has no name and is in jail, but they're both there. I'm also trying to piece together a more proper plot, but I think I'll end up just winging it.

"No name and is in jail" Reminds me of Elder Scrolls! At least Oblivion and Skyrim, since they'r the only ones I've played, but I'm getting interested ;) (Psst, your novel excerpt is a big chunk of code, fyi, or at least that's what I see)

Yep, don't know how it got there or how to remove it. I think copy pasting from word is a bad idea, just so you know.
