NaNoWriMo!

#1 Post by DM was on fire! »

Time for DM to make the obligatory NaNo thread this year. XD

Who's doing it?
For those of you who don't know, NaNoWriMo (or National Novel Writing Month) is a thirty-day long challenge in which you write a 50k word novel in thirty days.
This be my fourth year. ^^

Post usernames, questions, what have you.
Oh, and the site is here.

OMG AWESOME.
I love the whole "It's about quantity, not quality; you will be writing a load of rubbish" idea to it. Yeah, I'll definitely consider it. I've been wanting to do something creative for a while now and this might be it :)

Wow. That's a lot of words :o . I can barely write a thousand word paper, let alone fifty thousand.

HECK YEAH!

Gotta go 5 for 5 baby! 8)

Only this year will have to be a 25 day challenge. I refuse to novel on my honeymoon. :P I can write up to Thanksgiving in a pinch. But I should...you know never mind. Too many women in this house would beat the everloving snot out of me if they caught me noveling beyond the 25th.

I'm Katie C if anyone wants to friend me.

My first year, I got to about 3k. My second year (last year), I got to 16k. By exponential probability, I should be reaching 50k+ this year. :P

I'll try again, but I need to find something I can rant about for 50 pages. My sn is fatp3ngu1n, I believe.

I sat refreshing the page over and over... and over... on October 1st because I was so excited! ^_^ This is my fourth attempt (and possibly my fourth failure)!!! I have no plot this year, so I'm doing a dare novel. Based on dares I've taken so far, it may be somewhat technology oriented... I'm JellyFish72 over there as well - I'm almost always online, so if you need writing buddies, poke me via email or Skype (my new obsession for zETA and NaNo periods)!

I kind of want to do this, but I have absolutely no time to devote to writing a novel. (Of course, my being on PPT right now kind of contradicts that). Maybe if July was NaNoWriMo...

Might I suggest you sign up for Gaia and try Gaia SuWriMos? :)

I'm doing it! Or trying, anyway.

It can't possibly be worse than last year where i got nothing written. Or the year before where I got something like 13 words written. Yes, THIRTEEN WORDS.

Oh! I'm machinedreams over there, too.

Summer Writing Months, actually. :)
The difference with SuWriMos and NaNo is it's three months instead of one, and you can pick your goal. :)

I'm Siouxper over there. I'm planning on writing complete nonsense, being as this is my first time. Probably a parody or humor story because I can ramble on and on about that kind of stuff :P
