Have you turned into a NaNoWriMo zombie? You know the signs: coffee stains every paper on your desk, your eyes are red and puffy from lack of sleep and there’s a pounding in your head that just won’t go away. The good news is: you made it through week one of NaNoWriMo! The bad news: you’re just getting started.

We wanted to create a check-in post so those participating can share links to their projects and discuss their experiences, roadblocks and feelings on how things are going so far. We want to know:

  • What’s the name of your project? Where can we go to read it?
  • How many words do you have so far?
  • Have you kept a set schedule, or are you writing whenever you’re inspired?
  • Which has been your beverage of choice: coffee, juice, soda, water or something a bit…stronger?
  • How are you feeling about the way the month is going?
  • What do you plan on doing differently (or the same) next week?
  • Have you turned into a NaNoWriMo zombie?

We can’t wait to see how things are going! Check in by leaving a comment below. For an added bonus, we’ll choose one commenter to win Shannon’s eCourse, How NOT to Write a Book!

PS – For those of you not participating in NaNoWriMo, no worries! Our normal weekly posts will stand on their own, and be applicable to all authors, not just those currently in the dregs of wordcount hell (bliss?).
