NaNoWriMo (Day 5)

It is the end of day 5 of NaNoWriMo, and I have hardly crossed the 1667 words deadline. So, I have fallen behind by four days. Bad, but not a lost cause yet.

I have been checking up on the NaNoWriMo site frequently and this year it seems to me that the site is a bit slower than last year. Maybe it is because of a larger number of people signing up for NaNo this year. But, one thing that I am really surprised by is that the word count API is still not working and neither are the word count widgets. Last year, I remember it was fun to see those widgets on people’s site, and know how they were doing with their novels.

The announcement on the front page of NaNo says that they are going to start working on them as soon as possible. I hope that they get the widgets to work real soon as 5 days of NaNo have already gone, and only 25 days of fun remain.

How are you doing with NaNo this year?

(P.S. – If you are here for the Robbery story, check back soon as I will be uploading the next part of the series very soon) 

NaNoWriMo (Day 3)

Day 3 of NaNoWriMo is upon us and I have not written a single word  yet. Definitely not a good sign, and if something isn’t done about it soon, I think NaNoWriMo 2007 will be a lost cause for me already. But hopefully, things change today, as I am going to try and catch up with the almost 5000 words that I should have written had I followed the 1667 words per day regime.

For now, the only thing I have decided is that I am going to be writing a novella in the Romance genre, and it will be called “Digital Romance”.

How is it going for you?

P.S. This year I could not find the word count button that you can put on your site or blog. Anyone know what is up with that?
