Young Writers Society

I thought it might be nice to have a thread where people could talk (type?) about how they fared, and if they'd do something like this again, and what they plan to do now (write/edit?). So...tada.

Closing ceremonies, so to speak

Well, I didn't fare very well. I missed probably a grand total of half of April sometime in the middle of the month, haha. But that just means that I'll be all that more determined next time around! If anything (between this and NaNo), I've learned that I could never be a professional writer because I can't stick to a schedule like that! So I suppose that's a good thing? ^_^

Though I did end up having more ideas for poems than poems themselves XD


Congratulations to everyone who stuck it out for the entire month!! And congratulations to anyone who can salvage something from this month's creative wreckage

Hahaha, I fared abysmally! I wrote very few poems, posted fewer (I will gradually put some of the others up) and the quality was dreadfully poor.

Congratulations to everyone else though, i saw some really good writing!

I wrote around eight poems? Not too pleasant, but of the eight I had a good five or so, and good poetry is rare from me. It wasn't so bad, but I wish I would have finished!

I'm really proud of myself because I did write one poem a day, every day, and on the eighteenth I wrote two, for a total of 31 poems. I think it's taught me some discipline, which I need...now I'm looking forward to editing the ones I liked!

Gah! I have no discipline at all, but by hook or by crook I have thirty poems. XD I just wish half of them weren't done on the same day.

I failed miserably. I wrote little, and of what I did write, I've only found pieces that I actually like.



Worse than last year, probably.


However, I did learn that I want to try writing something in script. Maybe I'll adapt a novel...or try writing a play of my own. Not that that's entirely related, but NaPo helped me realize it (weirdly).

I was doing okay up until the 20th. After that my life started getting incredibly hectic, leaving me little time or energy to write.

I did, however, come up with a few I liked. Maybe I'll edit/post them eventually, but right now I'm too busy.

I did roughly half of the prescribed number. There just came a point where writing a poem just drained me creatively. It also interfered with my novel editing/prose writing. I found myself slipping into a poetic mindset whenever I sat down to write a story and while this isn't necessarily a bad thing -- in fact, it's great -- there came a point when I found myself writing similes for everything I described and stumbling off into abstraction and imagery overload.

Which got somewhat annoying.

So I decided to lay off the poetry and dedicated myself to editing Honor for the rest of april. I did learn a lot from NaPo. I learned that a poem a day isn't as healthy as an apple in keeping the good doctor away, but it also strengthened my prose tremendously.

For me, it was a success.

I didn't do to well. I wrote maybe 15, and only twelve are up.Out of all of those, I probably liked three. Poetry it not my fortay. I was doing ok, I guess until the middle of the month when all my teachers decided to drown me in homework, and my friend decided for me that Part 12 of Family Tree was not going to write itself.(I did get it done, though). I also ran out of ideas. i will try harder next year. maybe I"ll get 20!
