NaNoWriMo?

Postby spring on Thu Oct 02, 2008 5:23 am

There are several writers hanging around the forums. How many of you are planning on participating in National Novel Writing Month this November?

Buh?

Well, it seems their down, so any details from the site will have to wait.

I hope they don't expect me to write a whole novel in one month. It took me six years to write my first one! I'm not a machine! What are they thinking? They're not the boss of me! Why are they dumping all this pressure on me for no reason?!

That's it! I'm out! I quit! I'm taking my ball and going home!

I'm SporkBot and I approved this panicky outburst.

Ooooooh... I've never heard of this. I may have to try it! I'm sure I'll fail miserably, but I could at least give it a shot...

*meh* Denmark, Australia, the United States... They're all about the same size land.

I just checked. There is a Danish contingent on their forums. Your excuse is no longer valid. :wink:


The ultimate goal is word count: 50,000 words in a single piece of fiction. 50,000 words in 30 days makes for a fantastic exercise in writing a little bit every day, not worrying about editing, just getting the ideas and words down, etc. I'm participating for the 4th time. Maybe I'll even make the goal. LOL

If anyone is participating, I'll be on their forums as well as spring of course.

Stream of Consciousness, anyone? I may give it a shot. But I hated "House of Breath" and I've never had the opportunity to tackle "Ulysses".

I used to attempt NaNoWriMo, but since coming to university, spending that much time on something other than class would utterly murder my grades. Maybe next year, when I've finally escaped this place...

That sad part is that I'd really like to do this, but for the novel I want to write, there isn't anyway for me to do this within 21 days with all I've got going on. Sort of makes me wish I'd known about it before though, so I could start brain storming. Looks like it will be fun to think about for next year :D
Smile! It makes your brain happy!

I might try it this year, if my wife can help me with a few major plot deficiencies in my outline.
