I was planning on keeping this under wraps then coming out and saying "ta da! I did it!", but I wasn't exactly keeping my excessive writing a secret. (Example A) I've written 13,052 words so far. That puts me on track, for now. Hope I can keep it up!
Have you ever committed to something that scared you? How did it turn out?

First of all, I LOVE #wordmongering. I'm not doing NaNo (really, I'm not), but it's infinitely useful to get those writing goals down.
Second, congrats on your progress! Keep up the great work!
And thirdly--yes. I was terrified to start blogging, but now I love it. :)
I am committed to a brand new literary project right now, something I've never done before. I'll be talking about it on my blog soon :)
Best wishes with NaNo too!
Wow! You're doing great. It's exciting to write 13k in one week. Way to go.
You're doing great. The thing is to write and not get too caught up on the deadline stuff and have fun doing it!
YAY! Good for you Jennie! That is wonderful. Keep up the good work. I know you can do it!
I'd seen #wordmongering on Twitter but didn't know that's what it was. What a great idea. I may try it. Congratulations on "coming out!" With that many words, you're definitely on track. I've got about 8k, so not even close. Keep it up. I'm rooting for you. (First wrote "rotting." Heh.)
Good for you! I'm doing my first year of NaNo and am at 10,500 words... pretty close to on track.
You're doing awesome though! good luck!
Best of luck!! Sounds like you are making great progress. Keep it up :)
Good luck to you! It's okay to be scared...after all you can't really be brave regarding anything if you aren't scared:)
You're killing it. I just managed to catch up this weekend, and hoping to gain some ground this week.
You close nano's are so funny. /hugs. It's good to be true to thyself and tell the world.
Woo hoo! You are doing great! I committed to doing NaNo, but went on a cruise and I haven't started writing yet... I'm still hoping to hop on the wagon. I just probably won't get 50k. We'll see...
And I love the blog's new look!
Committing to The Rule of Three and Writing Campaign were both unsettling at first, but I'm so glad I joined in!
I'm not doing NaNo either, but I have decided to revise one of my shelved projects. Is there such a thing and a NaNo Revision month?
Great job on that word count! :)
Good luck with NaNoWriMo! :)
Also: I love the new blog look.
Jennie, I'm impressed as you really seem to be in a writing groove. Good for you.
Haven't graduated to the NaNoWriMo level. Seems a bit daunting. I applaud your efforts. I'm sure it will only strengthen your writing muscle. I'm in awe!
Oh my god I need to get one with that warmongering! My region has a chat room complete with wordbot who runs wars with us, but we don't do them as much as I would like/need.
I like you new blog look. Writing was my secret for a long time. LOL. I decided to let everyone know I was doing NaNoReviMo so I couldn't back out. Although it's all about my own goal.
Good luck with NaNo. I hope you're doing the time travel book. It's going to be so cool. ;0)
Congrats for doing it. NaNo is a brilliant motivator and it looks like you are right on track.
I have buddied you (I'm in as LynFAW)
You can do it! ;) I wish I was doing it this year or I'd be your buddy. Good luck!
Wow! Congrats! That's so awesome, you little secret-keeper, you. Wordmongering sounds like funnest thing EVER. I might have to try it at some point even if I'm not NaNoing. They'll still let me play, right?
Hey, that was sneaky :-) But a good sneaky. Great word count and I sent you a buddy request, ask, thing. Dragonfang77
Keep up the good work.
I'm doing it and failing miserably :-)
Oh, yes, some of my LLC goals scared (and still scare!) me. Although I'm not NaNo-ing, I'm cheering for you!
Good for you J.A.
Go for it !!! Sounds like you have everything under control !
I'm impressed you're on track. That's quick work!
I commit to things that scare me too often for my comfort. :P
Have a great week!
Way to go! I'll look for you to buddy.
Good work! I'm in NaNo but keeping a low profile too. :) I'm slightly behind, and will likely finish below the mark, but I'm not going to stress about it. It's only pressure if I make it that way! So I'm going for "getting some good writing time in." :)
First of all, total WIN on your new design. Second, while I do feel the pressure of NaNo, I am doing my best to hold off. Instead, I am pushing myself to write something short that is outside of my genre while I wait on revisions. Good luck!
Good luck with NaNo! :)Sounds like you're making great progress. I'm doing it too-- and yes, it scares me. Especially because I'm going out of ton for Thanksgiving. I've got to try and get ahead of the game!
Yay! Glad you've outed yourself and are doing so well! Keep it up!
