Nano! *Hypes*

I have sooo much work to do so that I can clear time for Nano. Playing on the YWS forums is not getting me any work done, but it is fun none the less.

And Wilkos recently brought out a new stream of stationary that is perfect for nanowrimo, so I went on a stationary binge >.> I have a giant notebook with the words "Write and Write and Write and Write and Write and Write" scrawled diagonally across it. There is also a pen that reads "Think Ink Think Ink" and a pencil with "2B or not 2B."

As for a plot... I can cross that bridge when it comes. Or build it.

Do whatever you want with the finished product. Some people edit them for publishing, some stick them in the cupboard to never see the light of day again (and with good reason.)

NANOWRIMO!

No time to chat, guys! There's only 17 days to go, and I don't even have any plot notes! *Plans furiously*

I'd be doing it if I had any time to write. I barely have time to do my chores. Besides, I'll be Miami for four days in November. Maybe next year. :) Good luck everyone!

Hey, I'm a full-time college students taking sixteen credit hours, working 20 hours a week, and supporting myself for the first time. If I'm doing it anyway, you can do it!

Anyway, this is my second year, and I'm mostly ready. I can explode into the beginning of of my novel, but one I get further in I have no idea what my plot is...which I realize should be very freeing, but it kind of worries me.

Oh well, we'll see where it goes!

Hey, does anyone know - is this like NaNoWriPo where we post a thread of what we write all month? Or not for this?

I'm studying abroad and doing NaNo! It's going to be an incredible experience! Not going to forget writing 50,000 words in November in Berlin.

So far, everything's going well! I've got hours left of writing time and there's a scene coming up with plenty of deliciousness... should end up way ahead for today. I'm aiming for 2,000 a day, which is about 8 handwritten pages in my notebook... perfectly manageable. (Right?)

I am quite ready... hmmm I dunno. I had already made 2K words (I surpassed the 1667 words per day :D ). I hope I can find time finishing it though since I still have school :(

I'm going to try it again this year as a way to A. get back in the habit of writing every day and B. finish something else. I have so much free time it's bound to go well.... :P

I'm doing NaNoWriMo for my first time this year...with the added challenge of a four-day family vacation. My computer will be traveling with me. Aiming for about 2,000 words a day, to give myself a little time cushion at the end. Major characters are mostly set, and plot is coming along nicely.

I suppose this will also be a good exercise in actually finishing something...I normally procrastinate way too much.

I'm doing it despite the fact that I have A LOT to do next month with school!
You're new? Great seas! Why haven't you gone to the Buddy System yet?



You're dealing with writers. The words "normal" and "usual occurrence" do not compute.

I've been working on my NaNo since last year. X_X

Actually what happened is I said "I will write this thing so freakin' fast, I won't even care when it sucks!"

But then this guy called my protagonist happened, and then the plot grew into this incredibly complicated, awesome thing. So yeah...

NOT to be deterred! I shall write the book THIS year, THIS month! (I know I will... maybe.)

I know that's technically cheating, haveing the plot all figured out and everything but I figured, "what the heck, as long as I get er' done!"
No more countin' dollars... we'll be countin' stars.

Enter, if you dare.

Me! Gosh, gigantic butterflies flutter within the acids of my stomach! The problem is, I've no idea what to write yet... :D

It's not cheating to already have a plot and stuff. It's only cheating if you'va lready started writing the book.

I'm also not sure why but even though I normally wear cool tones I have a feeling red would have been my color in the 1860s.
