Having chatty characters are good. XD
Having characters that always quarrel are even better. XD

Fight scenes are exciting as it is, I don't think with my awful english would execute it well. Fighting are mostly pictorial dependant, not really words.

One of my characters decided that he was going to propose, earlier than anticipated, but it's worked out, thank goodness!!

Doesn't help that she's just going on and rambling in circles - her boyfriend just proposed (it wasn't planned but he wanted to propose so he took over and proposed) so she's still kinda going.... "wait... omg.... yes... oh, ring... shiny, awesome pretty, love... and oh, it's raining... oh, ring, yeah writing.... blah blah blah" (that's basically been what the last 5k has been although it's more thought out than that, kinda, with more words for word count. LOL But that's the basic gist.) And rambling and demanding I write it all down... good for word count, bad for ending it. XD Haha!

And with fight scenes -- you can write everything out and therefore get more words. Like describe what is going on using words and because it needs more description--- more words! :D - not that I have them in my novel though.

I agree. But even with writers that write fight scenes, I DETEST READING fight scenes in words. It is better to be seen in action, like film or on stage. I just find that there is a limiting words to describe each actions delicately.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE descriptions. But more to describe how things look, emotions.
I tried fight scenes in ultra descriptive, but I have to say, when I re-read it few days later, I am fainting. I don't even know what I was writing about.

But see -- words are what count now, and those words can be edited out after November. :P

I don't care about word count. I know I will reach it... NO MATTER WHAT. yeah, so arrogant like that.
I have to take in quality at this point, since I actually don't like to go fixing it so MANY rounds.

The way you focus on word count, making me think that you have a word war with EVERYONE. XD lol.

Are you serious?!?!
I am not in a war with everyone.... I really am not.. and honestly, I am offended that you think so... I am honestly shocked at how well this is flowing (given that last year I struggled the WHOLE month through and the fact that I am only 15k away now from 100k... and I don't even think that is going to be the end of it...) and I just wanted to share... that. is. all..... -.- But if it really makes you think that am at 'war' with everyone else when it comes to word count.... I guess I will stop sharing my word count all together.... And just leave you all be.

Apparently, from what I am getting - how obsessed I am with my word count, means that I am in a word war with everyone... .. Which I am not.... -.- And I am offended by the thought that I am trying to compete with anyone... sure I am in a friendly battle to hit 100k first with a friend from my region (who I know in person), but no one on here. And if me posting what I have managed to get because honestly I am proud of what I have managed to accomplish on my own not being at war with anyone but myself.... makes others think that I am in competition with anyone but myself... then I will not post my word count updates anymore.

Okay. I was just a little shocked, coming back after a couple of hours to see the way the tone in here had changed.

I did not mean to just go all out but honestly because how offended I was, I could not help it... I am sorry. I'll go and just leave you all alone because apparently my big word count makes others think I am trying to challenge them and really all I am doing is setting some crazy high goals for me to beat for next year... THAT IS ALL, but whatever... I'm going to go and hide with my novel now and I will not post any word count updates from now on.

Hey, I meant no harm.
I am the other one that is targeting 100k way more earlier than you. (I think...)

Is guessing that people having word war so offending?
I am sorry then. I don't know you are so sensitive with that word.
I love having word wars, I think they are fun in their way.
I am not blaming anyone that is targeting 100k... I was just merely state what I think/guess... friendly guess.
I guess I should capitalise the LOL, instead of everyone.

Sincerely sorry for any misunderstanding.

Oh, basically when I realized how fast I was going -I decided on 100k, even though I never said it, and that was on like day 3 or 4, I think.

Yah, I did this in all throughout high school (: It was very fun. My last novel creation from my Senior year was very well written, I might brag I do miss writing, I just can't find time to do it in November... they should have a secondary writing month in the summer so I can get a chance in the slower retail season lol xD

I am so glad this is still a competitive activity for young folks though! And nice to see you Hope ^_^ *saw your siggy there*
