So, the 13th is coming up, and the 13th is always a freaky, magical day. I know, it's also a Tuesday. Tuesday's suck. But THIS one won't, because it's the magical, freaky 13th.
So here's a challange~
Pick a wordcount goal you want to write that day. Sign up here, put: your name wordcount goal your TEAM*
*When you signed up for gothno, you probably signed up for an overall WC goal in a thread for that goal. That thread's first post will have the TEAM you are on. EX. in the 60k WC goal thread, it says you are on team CANNIBAL. Individual wc goals are BLACK WIDOWS, etc.
Then on that day, write your freaky little heart out.
Make sure you've even set aside a certain writing time that day just for gothno and this challange, and then... WRITE!! Do your team proud!!
The team that wins (if enough people sign up) is the one who has the most members who have reached their wordcount goal (or something like that, I'll figure it out soon) You have until that day to sign up, so you don't have to figure out a wordcount goal this very minute.
But this will be fun!! The powers of the 13th will help you, I'm sure.

I need this SOOO badly. I guess I can stay up late one night this week without dying.
Wordcount goal: 2k. I need way more, but that's all that's realistic for a school night.
Team: Coffin.
I'm so excited!! 13, what a wonderful number.

I need to do a 5000k day, but I am not sure that is realistic with it being close to the end of the quarter and having to get a TON done. But we shall see. I am about to go and bang out some scenes for today's word count. I'm 7K behind!

if you can get it out, i would say give it a try, but i don't know if you could get 5000k every day in your story.

I can usually pull out 2k easy if I get the time to just sit and be quiet. The most I've ever gotten in one day was about 8000 words. Typicallly when the juices are flowing I push out an average of 3500 a day. But the juices haven't been flowing and it's been a struggle, although today I pulled out 1096 in less than 35 minutes. After I change over the laundry I'm going to write for another 40 minutes see how many I can get out. I'm using Momentum Writer to make sure I keep moving ahead and no backspacing. ten I save it and run spell check, do a minimal amount of editing.

Aaah.... I hope I'm not crazy. XD 3k is doable, but... I just realised I have choir on Tuesday. BUT, oh yes, I have the day off, so... oh I'm sure I can do it!

I'm using Momentum Writer to make sure I keep moving ahead and no backspacing. I think I should do that. It's not so much the wordcount, for me, as it is the motivation. So... that would keep me writing I'm sure.

So... that would keep me writing I'm sure. i'm using it because i was afraid that i would probably give it up right from the start. this will keep me writing forward instead of staying behind

Man I totally forgot all about this challenge!! I can't believe it's already the 13th of October. I guess I better get writing something before midnight my time, huh? EEEK I suppose I'll start at 7PM Edit-- ok since I'm enthralled with NCIS right now, I'm not exactly writing. EEEEEEEk It's still not midnight though
