Okay, since I totally failed at NaNoWriMo this year I am definitely going to do OberNoWriSu, and I a going to do it well!
Moving along.. My goal is to write 20000 words over the three months as I've got a blog which I have to update and lessons to take. I shall increase this if it looks like I'm doing well, but I think this is a good goal for the moment. :)
Bring on OberNoWriSu!! And good luck to everyone else!
When does this start? I really want to join in and work on a couple of novel ideas I have and since students are finishing up, it means there's more time for me to write!
It starts in December, Jossie, through to the end of Feb.
In the meantime you could join us in Prodders :D
Think I might have a go, need to stretch the creative writing muscles a bit, and over the long school holidays! Why not! I won't be starting straight away in December though (getting wisdom teeth out, and going on a camp). But I think I'll start small, with 10,000 words.
20000 words for me this summer :D First draft to my novella for next year's National Novella comp sounds like something I can do :)
I'm joining in again this year, and unlike last year I'm determined to continue past the first two weeks :P
At this point, I don't have a word count as such, more a list of projects to work on / complete.
Count me in. I'd like to have my Dream Mages ms finished by February. (My real aim is December but that is a bit extreme as I will have to write a good 60 000 words in a month LOL) February is more realistic.
I will post a word count on Dec. 1st when I know what word count I am up to :)

I'm in but as usual my writing is not happening and will probably stay that way. I also have uni right through summer so I guess I will have to at least write some essays. :P
Since I'm just puddling around doing edits, I'll probably give it a miss this year, but I look forward to [strike]prodding[/strike] gently encouraging all of you lot :P

Good luck to all for Obernowrisu officially kicking off at midnight tonight.
Darga (and Shonk) I LOVE your new sig. :P
Oooh, yay it's officially Summer in a couple hours. Spose I'd better actually state what 'd like to achieve. So, first draft of second book would be nice. I've already done 25,000words towards it so, hopefully it'll be achievable. :D
(Also, thanks Deb. It's good to see Darga is slowly accepting her characters are creepy)

[act]ponders Shonk's selective blindness[/act] Methinks Shonk overlooked the little word 'Not'.
My characters are innocent.
Completely.
(But thanks Shonk for drawing this picture and letting me reinterpret it to continue our little argument :P)
Since my December doesn't kick off until tomorrow, I figure I still have time to declare my intentions to join in this winter (... er... 'summer' :P )
My goal will be to finish Hierland by Feb. 28. And also to come up with a better title for it. I currently have one and a half parts done (out of 4), so this seems like a plausible goal.
I'm with Shonk. I want my second draft done :) I've done 24 000 words out of 80 000 so should be manageable.
So, I'm actually going to participate this year instead of just ignoring this thread and pretending I don't have writing I should do :P
I am planning a novelly type thingy at the moment, so that's what I shall be working on. If I ever, you know, start it...
Okay, these word counts all seem VERY scary, so I'm gonna go with this: I will write something. Every day. Even if it's just a sentence or two. I will write SOMETHING.
I'm participating again this year. Yay! I think I'll stick with 20,000 words by the 28th of February like I did last year because I have more time consuming commitments this year despite starting earlier. I’ll be writing the next novel in the series after finishing my first ever novel last year thanks to OberNoWriSu.
Good luck everyone.
EEEEE! I forgot about this! I'm in!! My brain is mush, but I MAY make it to 20,000 words. I've got no holidays booked this summer, so I need a mental holiday ...

What? December already?? When did that happen?
Life has been pretty hectic over the last few months, but I can't resist setting myself up to fail :P So here I go again-
I'm aiming for 5,000 words before the end of January and if that is successful, another 2,000 by the end of February.
Good Luck to everyone involved again this summer/winter :)
Well, I've started on Book #2, so just to make sure I don't flail around too much, I'm committing to a first draft of 3 chapters a month throughout Jan and Feb. Chapter 1 complete so far, and Chapter 2 started so I'm on track. I won't bother starting up my old thread here in Writersmerge again, but I'll post my progress over in Prodders. There are a few snippets there ATM, but I won't do any/many more because the book's not quite PG. Might disseminate the link, though, if you ask me in a weak moment.
Anyway, feel free to prod me if I fall off the wagon*.
* Disclaimer: Shonk, this permission to prod does NOT apply to you :P
Pffft, like I need permission. :P I prod you regardless. But you're okay for today because I have noticed some new words in the link.
As an update, I'm working on Chapter 6 and will presumably finish it by the end of next week... So I might as well up my target to 10 chapters/approx 50k words.
