Day 1 count - 1704
I shall be horribly boring for the next 30 days. But hopefully I'll be generating some not boring stuff for us all to eventually read.
Last night I went home and banged out this many words in a couple of hours. It's a continuation on the Harry Potter Age Regression thing that's been eating away at me lately. However, never fear-- when I get stuck, I have other ideas to fall back on, including finishing last year's novel.

antennapedia made this word meter for me last year, and I am delighted to use it again. Wish I could make the color be Slytherin green, but I'm not sure I could manage that even if I could see her source code. And it is Slytherin Silver. So that rocks. Though I think I would have sorted into Ravenclaw, myself.
Anyway, I'm proud of myself for a first day. And surprised how easily I got to this count, even taking time for dinner and discussion with Wee Hob. Writing is like any other muscle I suppose-- requires some use to get stronger.
1,704 / 50,000
(3.4%)
Now to get through another day in hell.
BTW-- is anyone else following Moon Magic? Snape and Faith (and Riley and Willow, and hey, a spell gone wrong, which explains why Willow's there).lit_gal is absolutely Nailing both Snape and Faith's voices here. I haven't seen that many crossovers that navigate both worlds well-- I told lit_gal I thought it was because combining the two worlds made the ridiculous aspects of both reach a kind of critical mass. But this is really off to a promising start. I highly recommend it.

Congrats on the wordage! I covet the word counter thingy!
I'd like to think I've be in Ravenclaw, but I think it's a toss up between Gryffindor and Slytherin, lol.
