Who's doing NaNoWriMo this year?

[GingerBiscuit]

I've written down my plot arc, and will be starting to write as soon as I come home from the Halloween party...

[clod75]

I am.... have decided to do a "fly by the seat of my pants" style. Let 'er rip!

Last year was difficult because I was not happy with my vision not being realized fast enough lol... that and I have four kids and a job... I didn't finish it lol

this year I intend to relax... and have fun.

[AnaKhouri]

I am incapable of outlining, so there is no way I could achieve NaNoWriMo. My first novel took me 2 years to write and another year to revise. ;)

I often us NaNoWriMo as a deadline to get a short story completed, but right now I am too fixated on my new novel to work on a short. Ah well, maybe next year.

Good luck with yours GingerBiscuit, I really admire people who can pull it off! :yourock:

[Sylvia727]

I might. The trouble will be the editing process, as in, to get any writing done I can't allow myself to edit. But then I look over what I have so far, decide it's crap, and lose inspiration. I've never done it before, though, so it might be a good idea to try something new.

[GingerBiscuit]

The thing with NaNoWrimo is to remember- It doesn't have to be good.

You jsut have to get the word count.

anyway, I'm kytten on there, if any Nanowrimo-ers want to check me out.

I have NO doubt there will be points I just blatently pad with overflorid prose (like happens sometimes in this book, which is some of the worst examples of a previous year)http://www.lulu.com/content/1310566

[Evil Queen]

I'm finally doing it this year! :wave: I wanna see if I can at least hit the word count. ;)

[edible_hat]

You jsut have to get the word count.

That's my cue to write "Badger Badger Badger" the novel! XD

[GingerBiscuit]

if you can do it for 50,000 words, do it. Call it a postmodern piece. *irony*

[Kheldarson]

I'm going to be trying again. I'm working on a D&D setting so am considering a story that will allow me to explore my lands in more depth...no idea what it'll be about yet though >.<

I'm Deeva there if anybody cares to find me.

[crazylegs]

Uh, I'm confused, what is it...?

[Kheldarson]

NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) stands for National Novel Writing Month. It runs from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30. The goal is to write at least 50000 words of a story by the end of the month, essentially a small novel.

[JoitheArtist]

I am!!!!!!!! It's my fifth year. I LOVE NaNoWriMo. this past summer, I got to visit the NaNo office. :)

I'm on the forums there as SaintJoi. :)

[Kheldarson]

Ginger and Joi, I hope you don't mind, but I added you as writing buddies. I don't know anybody else on there yet.

[JoitheArtist]

I don't mind! *L* I always have a gazillion writing buddies on my list. :)

[Lady Legira]

I think I may be suckered back into doing it again this year, I hit 26k last year and it was my first attempt!

I'm still trying to finished the stories I was writing for the Nano last year. :lol: They all had a dystopian theme.

I'm Lady Legira there too. :wave:

[Evil Queen]

I just finished signing up; I'm Evil Queen there. :wave:

[Kheldarson]

So I want to be able to actually finish the project I start this year...and I'm already running into a problem. I want to write in the setting I've been developing for ages. It would really help me flesh it out more for more projects and the like. So I want a story that will let me hit most of the major lands without seeming to be a rip-off of Tolkien.

Any rough ideas? Like possible objectives or conflicts that might be interesting to read about.

[Evil Queen]

That's okay, I want to write a steampunk novel and there's very little to go off of, example-wise. :o

[Kheldarson]

Steampunk is pretty awesome though.

[GingerBiscuit]

Ginger and Joi, I hope you don't mind, but I added you as writing buddies. I don't know anybody else on there yet.

No probs at all. Having writing buddies will encourage me to do it.

[Evil Queen]

I added you guys to my friends list there too.
