 Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 4:37 am Post subject: Posting your NaNo? |
 |
|
Does anyone have any inclinations of trying to post their NaNo manuscripts in bursts on here? Either during or after it's all over.
I'm not sure if I will or if I won't. I love to read others' writings, but I'm really bad about critiques. Spelling and some grammar I can do, but as for style and content, I'm not so great. What if they meant it to be a certain way? I'm just bad with them. But at the same time, I'd like mine critiqued!
I might have to suck it up and get on with it or something. Fifty thousand words isn't easy to edit, I would think! |

I'll edit mine before I post any here! God, the typos and grammar problems and style issues and terrible characters and dialogue and repetitive descriptions will just make people's heads explode.
And that makes a mess. |

| I'm probably gonna end up posting mine. But after I edit things out. I currently have some sentences that are just really bad. These this one my mom and my little sister found that has the word "roof" three or four times. Yeech. |

Yes... if anyone does plan on posting their NaNo Novel, please, PLEASE grammar edit and spell check it before you do. Do it to spare our sanity, and your life here.  |

I know you're not really supposed to, but I've been checking grammar and spelling after each typing session. But it's only been with the Word spellcheck doohickey. 
I was thinking about posting some of it today before I leave for work. Hmm. |

I'll post mine. MAYBE, after the rewrite I have planned.
It's so messy... |
