September was stressfull, and October even more! I hope that the distractions stops so I can write/draw everything I must finish soon.

Fests are what brought me into this stressy situation, must remember to avoid signing up to everything I see, think I'm doing pretty good so far :D
Thought about Nanowrimo, but decided to wait till next year, when I hopefully have more time and don't stress so much.

Good luck to the rest of you :D

I hope some of the stress and distractions will lesson soon!

Fests are so shiny and hard to resist!

Good luck to you on your goals!

September was somehow incredibly productive, despite being intensely busy in RL. I have no idea how this worked out, but it did.

For October I have to finish hols, sexstars, an original short story, and my last few bingo needed fics for kink_bingo. I suspect I need to hit 40k in order to make goal. And chatzy is my ROCK. Seriously. I don't know what I ever did without it.

I will be NaNoing in November! I can be found at the usual identity. I will be working on kinky_kristmas, sexstars, h/d remix, recast_bb, and my novel. Um. Yeah. 50k in one month would certainly help with all that!

You can do it! <3 Hooray for a productive September! <3 I am so happy that chatzy has been helpful! I really need to go in there more often again! Maybe some of hte productivity will rub off on me!

Chatzy is my ROCK. Sometimes just for the chat, sometimes because they inspire me.

Good luck in October and November! I'm sure you'll be super productive! <3

I wrote about 7k in September. As a new writer I think that was great. But October has been stressful IRL and I've been busy the last two weekends, so I've only had time to write at night and that's just not working very well for me. I think I'll be lucky if I make it to 5k.
I'm participating in minifest, and that fic is already finished and beta'ed. I'm trying to write some Halloween fluff, but it's not going very well. Also, I have a few half finished fics that I don't really know what to do with. The scenes I've written are good, but I just have no idea how to end them.
I signed up at the NANoWriMo site, but I think I'll mostly just hang around and lurk at the forums this year. But I hope it'll at least inspire me.
I have 2 weeks off work at Christmas, so my goal for the rest of the year is that at the end of December I'll have finished at least 2 "real" fics (2k+) and made significant progress on my original work...

That is great!

Awesome on mini_fest being finished! Way to go! Good luck on your Halloween fluff!

Endings are so hard for me! I can totally relate!

Nanowrimo is such great inspiration! <3

Good luck to you!

I don't even know how much I wrote in September. 50k? I'm probably at about 15k so far this month, I really should start tracking it. I've got two fests I'm writing for at the moment, done H/D, the other not. One fic is in beta mode and the other looks like its basically going to be 10k of porn. I haven't signed up for any fests beyond these two for the rest of the year, because I'm hoping to spend NanNoWriMo on a project of my own. Still H/D fanfic, but something not for a fest. I want to try my hand at for realz angst. And then December I will be too busy reading all the delicious holiday fics to write much, except for maybe a few short things for my kinkbingo card.

Feeling pretty optimistic about the rest of this year.

50k in a month is amazing! So is 15k so far for this month!

Awesome! Good luck with your Nano project!
