Gah! So many ideas, no time to write. I HATE YOU SUMMER HOLIDAYS!!
[act]notices above post[/act] ...Gee, guess it's lucky I don't drink coffee then isn't it ~:|
However! the prods have not gone unnoticed, and I endeavor to get something down next week over my few days off. Actually, Christmas day might be a good day to try.... [act]makes mental note[/act]
Good luck with finding time, Ari. :)

So....I had an idea just before I wen't to sleep last night, and as always I was too comfy to find a pen and paper and write it down. I figured, like with any other 'on the brink of sleep' idea, it would be gone by morning.
Well in fact, no, it did not vanish. And because of that, I can say I now have written 238 words this morning.
I know...not much at all, considering my goal. But, it's something. Now I just need to add a thousand or so more somethings to that something and I'm good to go! :P
Excellent! :D Some words are better than no words and it's certainly great that you remembered your idea. I always have a bad habit of doing that and forgetting them too.
Yay! I never remember those before-sleep ideas :P Thousands of somethings are good. There are a lot of words in a thousand somethings :nods: Words! [act]gurgle[/act] I think I need food: I don't think I'm making much sense :P

You made plenty of sense Vestie. Words....what more sense do you need? :P :)
I have another quickly written small snippet of 438 words. Not sure where it fits, or when...but when the muse gives you words, you DO NOT ignore the words :)
I'm going to post this little bit in my Prodders thread, because it is Michala story, and I don't mind sharing a little of her stuff at the moment. (Whether any of you are actually interested in reading it is another matter entirely :P )

Adding another 301 words to this summer's count. I'm hoping that, if I can keep adding little bit by little bit, I might make it some way towards achieving a decent word total this time around.
Steady as she goes :P

Not quite doubling the last count, but I have another 533 words for my summer total. This might almost be the best OberNo attempt in the history of Ari :P ;)
Way to go Ari! 8) Keep up the momentum!
[act]puts cattel prod away and pulls out sparklers instead[/act] Keep at it :D

I'm changing the last from 533 to 684. Some tweaking improved my count :)
Good work, Ari. That must have been some tweaking session :).

Late night trick worked! Another 954 words to the tally. I'm quite happy with that just now. I feel like I'm starting to achieve something :D :P

A minuscule 275 words added to my total word count. I seem to have hit a lull in my writing, but ideas are still coming here and there. So hopefully there are still more words to be had for the last of Jan/ all of Feb.

That's it....I'm done with searching for words for this summers OberNo [act]throws pen across room[/act] [act]turns back on story[/act]

Shhh, I'm trying to coax out more words before the end of Feb......attempting some reverse psychology on my story. I bet if it thinks I don't care, it will suddenly come out of hiding :nods:
Ah, I see. Ahem. Yes, silly story. No more words for you. You can just fester for the rest of the year! (do you think we fooled it?)

Well, my goal for Dec/Jan was 5,000 words, and if I achieved that, another 2,000 for Feb. Not surprising, I failed to meet said goals, but I did manage a Summer word count of 3,316 (plus some words I missed including, which would only be about 200 more) which is actually reasonably good for me.....mind you, looking at some of the 50k+ totals of other participants, it seems kind of minuscule, but what can you do? I'm not a writers writer, and I'm getting better at being okay with that :)
Thanks OberNoWriSu...it's been [strike]frustrating[/strike] [strike] mind boggling[/strike] [strike]exhausting[/strike] [strike]insane[/strike] fun ;)
They've been good words, though, Ari. And 3300 is nothing to be sneezed at, particularly not when RL beckons and the muse deserts you.
Glad you had a good time, and hope to keep seeing you around Prodders until the next OberNo kicks in :).

Hello Winter. How nice to see you with your blue grey clouds and lashings of icy rain. How I missed your grand entrance I will never know.
Once again, my target stands at 5,000 words a month. I'm not fooling myself though, I will fall short, but it certainly is a great motivator.
Day one is almost gone (with no words), but I'm feeling positive about the chance of writing this season :)
There are still *checks* 27 minutes of today left!!
