Instead of shouting out in a separate topic each time, I thought I'd just create one which I can then update.
I also needed a place to post my current word counts so that I can actually see how much I'm adding to each story the coming month.
Wordcounts October 31st
Heart of the Ship - 115 242 words The Princess and the Knight - 25 801 words The Lonely Empath - 28 139 words

First 1000 words are written!!! Whoot! That is like 2% of what I need to write this month. XD Whoot whoot!
And an excerpt:
The deck had been scrubbed vigorously by the Black Bones, every single lantern aboard the ship was lit, and Rumplestiltskin had whisked a large wooden table to the middle of the deck, with five luxurious chairs around it. A banquet of cold meats, fish and vegetables was waiting for them in the middle of it, as well as several bottles of wine, and Belle was lighting the candles on the table with her own magic, focusing hard as she was a little out of practice and too excited to focus properly. “Careful, dearie,” Rumplestiltskin warned her playfully. “You’ll light the salmon on fire and it’s already been cooked!” Belle chuckled. “I’m sure I have it under control.”

5K Shoutout!!!
I just got 5586 words! :-D Not bad for a first day. I feel like this Nano should be a breeze for me! It's going very fluently so far and we're only 22 hours into the challenge. XD
“I did not know the princess could fight,” Jafar remarked. “She’s still learning,” Rumplestiltskin replied, hoping his love would not hurt herself. After all, the Black Bones should not be underestimated. They would not be his crew if they weren’t efficient and brave. When she returned with her sword, she was beaming with joy though, glad to show off her newly developed skills for once, and she went to stand in a proper position before her adversary. The skeleton crewmate raised his sword as a means to greet her, and she returned the gesture. “Let’s lay down some rules…” Rumplestiltskin began. “First one to draw blood gets disqualified.” Jasmine frowned. “Doesn’t that mean that only the skeleton can be disqualified?” “Details,” Rumplestiltskin waved her remark away. “Whoever disarms the other, wins!”

8342 words now. I'm happy. But tired from getting up early to see the new ep. So I'm calling it a night and I hope the sleep will be long and full of inspiration. ;-) Tomorrow is another day.
So far I have only written for Heart of the Ship. I intended to write on another story at work but I was distracted by posting shit on Tumblr, so in the end I wasn't productive at work at all. Not just that, but I had a ton of phone calls today. I don't think I would have been able to write a lot.

Got over 10000 words now!! :-D Very happy with that. Tomorrow evening I might go to the cinema so I'm not sure if I'll be able to write a lot. With any luck I can do some writing in the afternoon at work. Without luck, I won't be able to get anything done and people will call me a million times a day. XD Ah well.

I wrote 3170 words for The Lonely Empath today. Which brings my total wordcounts for the stories to:
Heart of the Ship - 125 726 words The Lonely Empath - 31 309 words
Which means that since December 1st I've written 3170 words for The Lonely Empath and 10484 words for Heart of the Ship. That makes 13 654 my final wordcount for today.
(I'm basically just typing all of this so I can do the correct count without messing up somewhere in the middle... I need structure. XD)
