I have no idea how much everyone likes writing here but I figure everyone has to like it at least a tad. Anyway I figured I would spread the world around about National Novel Writing Month. The goal is the write 50 thousand words in 30 days in November. It sounds crazy but it is fun if you like writing. There is a big community (last I knew 57,655 people have signed up) and everyone is very supportive. The site is www.nanowrimo.org/ if anyone wants to check it out. The competition starts November 1st at midnight and ends at midnight on November 31st. I'm CelticxConnections on the forum if anyone wants a writing buddy.

Fifty thousand words, eh? I can do that. *nods*
Wow...opened a story up just to get an idea of how many words that really is...
I have a 43 page unfinished story and it's 29189 words only. D:
LOL. And the story I am working on that I started a few days is only at 1000 words. This is a TRUE challenge.
This has inspired me to finish that 43 page story...
Ally oughta know that one...that one is Hound. *Squeal* I need to get myself outta that writing hole.

Hopefully you can Ally. Of course muses are evil and only work when you don't have any way of writing down the stories they have...
My first 50k story is a total of 75 pages Times New Roman size 12 font. Just think of it this way Lark, 43 pages is more than half way done. And it s good to see that you are motivated to finished the first story. An unfinished story is a sad thing.

I can't say that I've actually writtena STORY story.. it's more of a ... little... short thing for a writers club or something. It's not much.. I'm sure I've written... 20k words with all my RP posts put together! I shall see! Muses ARE like that, aren't they? >.>

Well, I have a couple that are 75 pages-ish and one is over a hundred. I am pretty confident I hit the 50k mark on those ones. I too write in 12 font and times new roman.
Yeah, I sometimes don't finish or I should say most of the time don't. I get to a certain point and don't know where to go after it.
I need to finish Hound. Must finish Hound. Urgh. I got to a scene that I had not originally planned to write and now it's sorta...urgh. Anyway. I'm going to do some coding work I am as always behind on and then work on Hound! ;D

Its a historical fiction about a ten year old girl who, at the beginning of the story thinks shes an adult but at the end just wants to have a childhood.... The story's plot is pretty messy but It's one of my few stories that have actually been finished

That actually sounds pretty decent. My last story...(if you know me well, I never seem to finish any...) was about a girl whose best friend disappeared with his brother when they were about 12 years old. Nobody ever found out what happened to them, but evidence pointed to a murder and basically the main character is going on through life still wondering what happened to her best friend...can't say much else. It would spoil it. But I can link you to the introduction. ^_^ larkpash.deviantart.com/art/Knick-121416706
