National Novel Writing Month (nanowrimo)

I just found out about this a few days ago. Write a novel of 50,000 words or more in the month of November. I think I'm going to give it a shot. :)

Cool! I'm gonna try. I always wanted to write a novel anyway and this is just what's gonna motivate me to

I'm considering it. I just don't know if I have enough time to write that much in one month. :o

My problem with it exactly. That and the fact that I can always start writing something but rarely finish.

Ah well, I'll give it a try!

With school, art and finals... and probably a job, I couldn't do it.
But it's a nice thought. *nods*

Not to mention, my novel would probably suck.

I did it and got on the Winner's List last year, I'll try to do it again this time. For all you first timers, 50k words is a lot bigger than it sounds o_o

Wow, that sounds like it'd be fun. Sadly, I don't think I'm going to have time to participate :(

If only I didn't have a piano exam the same month! *laments and moves on*

*secretly plots*

It sounds really interesting though. At first I thought it was only for the USA since it says "National", until I read that it's open to all countries. Maybe next year. :P

Someone told us about this at school. I'd love to do it next year, but I'd have to write it with someone else as there is no way I have time to write that much in one month. I have a bunch of plot ideas though.

After my two year writer's block right before the completion of my first novel (which took me almost a year), I decided this was a great way to get back into writing, so I'm going to try it.

Not sure if I'll succeed, though. :P

I'm giving it a shot.. it's sad though, 'cause it's two days 'til the start and I've barely got any sort of plot in mind. I guess that's the fun of it, though! XD

My friend roped me into it... she made me promise last year. I thought she would forger, but no such luck.

I'm giving this a shot. ^_^ I know I'll probably get Writers' Block halfway through, but then nothing ventured nothing gained, right?

So far, So good. I hope you all finish yours :D

Mon Nov 01, 2004 5:15 pm

I thought about it, but anything I want to be decent is handwritten...and that's a lot to write in a month. =P
