Default National Novel Writing Month

otherwise known as NANOWRIMO


The basics of it is that on November 1st you start writing a novel. On November 30th you stop writing.

You can not edit, doubt yourself, or otherwise stunt or sabotage your success.

Lots of details here:
http://www.nanowrimo.org/en

You can buddy up with pals on the website and share snippits of your work, share your current word count, cheer each other on, etc.

It's fun!

Who is in?

I may try it again. I've participated before and gotten overwhelmed with work. As it happens I'm in the midst of writing a technical certification book.

I did this a few years ago and actually successfully finished a children's fantasy novel (which I still need to go back and edit and polish a bit).

It's so tempting...and I also know I have a tremendous amount going on in my life in November....and I've also been threatening to write a non-fiction book for ages now.....

Ughhhhh......I'm a maybe. I'll let you know before November 1.

I have done this to some degree almost every year for the last 5 or 6 years.

This year, I am dealing with a full-time workload, a full-time school load, and this site but I think I am going to try to squeeze in some time to write and do this project again. I'll start it knowing that I might not complete it but I wanted to get back into the habit of writing a little bit every day anyway.

I am medusagoddess over there!

Yeah, last year my world got a little blown to pieces in November and I only got halfway through.
This year November is wicked busy but I'm going to dig in anyway. I'll sleep in December.

I'm tamalamadingdong over there.

I took part and completed last year. I started with one book, and it morphed into 4 that I didn't finish this year with everything else I had going on.

I am pretty sure I am going to take part again this year.
1500 new words a day seems a bit daunting right this moment but even if I don't complete it would get me back to daily writing.

I am all signed up and ready to go.
I have an outline and some character outlines prepared.
I still have a lot going on as I am moving cities next week, but I am going to do my best to complete again this year. I figure even if I don't finish I am that much farther along on my book.

http://www.nanowrimo.org

50,000 words in 30 days
1667 words a day

Who else is taking part this year?

this is the first year i actually don't have a ton of stuff going on so i could...possibly...do it. i'm thinking of doing it for a (don't judge me) fanfiction piece i've been wanting to write for a long time - i used to be an avid ff writer and dropped off due to busy-ness. but if i come up with a novel idea i like i might do that instead

FF is big business right now! That's how that 50 Shades thing started! Hey, as long as we are all writing and creating routine around carving out time for our creative ideas, it's a good thing!

Two days!!!
Also, if you register with NANO and get writing buddies, it does not mean you are sharing your work. It just means that you can cheer each other on with word counts. You can choose to share snippets of your writing but it's not required or assumed.

I have gotten 3 people at work to join in! We are going to try to carve out part of our lunch hours every day to write in a think tank together!

To be perfectly honest, the idea of writing a novel terrifies me, I've had an outline for one hanging around for years now, but I just don't have the, I wouldn't say patience or stamina, to write a novel in a month, but my health's not reliable enough to let me sit every day to write, otherwise I would give it a go.
So, good luck to all of you who are participating!

Default Day 1

Good Luck to everyone taking part this month.

I have my morning carved out to sit and write when I get back from the pool. I have a new wireless keyboard as I hate my keyboard on the laptop that I use for writing.

A minimum of 1667 words today.
I will try to write extra in the beginning in case I fall behind as the month progresses. Last year there were days I wrote 8000+ words and some days that I wrote none. I try not to break my flow if it is there.

Don't get discouraged if you can't get all the words out that you need. Even if you don't reach the 50,000 words you will still have written more then if you hadn't participated. Be kind to yourselves. It is good to have goals, but some is better then none.

Happy writing NaNoWriMo peeps.

Whoot! Happy NANO kick off day!
My day is packed, I have a feeling I won't get quiet writing time until late tonight- goal of 1500 words for day 1. I do the same Laruss, some days I just can't dig in, others I'll bang out 5-8,000 words and pull ahead. Just a matter of making that time happen every day and not stopping myself with doubt and criticism!

Welp. It's started..maybe this year I can actually finish it (it may be a nice break from the work book I've been working on and may help the writer's block I've had with it)
