4000 words to go, but that's close enough to the 2000 "doable" to be doable! Pity there's not anther weekend, though... Of course, I could just follow [livejournal.com profile] callistosh65's strategy! Yes. Yes, I may just do that....

But that's close enough for the draft, isn't it? Just scrabble together an outline for the rest and Robert's your uncle!

I have a rough draft! Or at least I've got 14,000 words and a vague outline of the remaining mumblety-mumble words to come. Now I've just got to work on that pesky summary.

I have the opening to a song from My Fair Lady in my head now--"words, words, words, I'm so sick of words, I get words all day through, first from him now from you..."

Tossing in song lyrics always helps with word counts.

All done, just waiting for comments from second beta on a couple of things.

I'm sending positive vibes to everyone - and remember, if all else fails, go with callistosh65 plan. :)

I'm at a (for me) remarkable 13,000 words, but my time line is screwed. And the more I read/write, the more screwed it gets! Aaarrrghh!!!

From: [identity profile] dawnebeth.livejournal.com
That's what messes me up quite often, as well. Got to write out a calendar or time line diary.

Good luck!

I can't do the %*ÂŁ")&^! summary! I've got enough words for the rough draft, but what happens in it? It would take another 2,000 to tell you!

Okay so I may not be writing but I can not resist ticky boxes and I figured a malt and a ticket to the Bahamas is always good.

Oh and baby animals *flails*.

*waves pom poms encouragingly for everyone*

11,000 words, looking pretty OK except I decided I needed to take it apart and put it back together again, so it's less, um.... comprehensible than it was. But, you know, there's enough words at least *clings to brightside*

Date: 2012-06-28 09:22 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] liriel1810.livejournal.com
LOL You had bits left over, didn't you. *g* That always happens when you take something apart to fix it and then put it back together. I'm sure you'll get it sorted by the time September rolls around.

I'm over the draft limit and have a summary - which I have been assured actually makes sense - so I guess I'm looking okay there. The outline for the rest of the story is a probably a bit wobbly though :P

Sounds like you're well on track. That's great!

The rough draft is done... the first round of (major) edits are done... should only be one more round of minor edits and then I should be all done and dusted. I'm feeling pretty chuffed with myself at the moment. *g*

You should be! Good for you! :D

I've got 10 000 words, I just want to finish one more chapter before I send. That's one less I have to outline, then. So, as long as the outlining doesn't make my brain explode, I'll be OK!

I have no idea how to vote on that poll. :O

I have enough words to send in, but my story isn't finished. I had hoped to write really quickly and have it done in time, but real life things are making that look questionable. :(

I've written a summary. I hope it will fit the story perfectly by the time it's done!! Well, I have a bit of time yet to tweak and hopefully write a few more scenes....
