So I just totally "came out" at work about writing a novel. Turns out one of my co-workers is a playwright ( Read more... )

how is everyone doing?

i'm way behind in the word count department. i'm at 3500 words but i started one story on november 2 and started a brand new story just this past sunday. i think i can catch up (or nearly catch up this weekend).

where are you all at with word counts? are you happy with the plot thus far or are you already tiring of it?

Just introducing myself. This is my second year doing Nano, I reached the goal last year and I'm pretty confident I can do it again this year as well. Although I've gotten off to a slow start, being at only 6,000something words now ( Read more... )

Hey guys, I just wanted to introduce myself ( Read more... )

Hi everybody. I'm Amy, and this is my second attempt at NaNoWriMo. (I feel like I'm at a Writers Anonymous meeting. Heh.) Last time I totally failed after a week or so. But this time I started out with an idea I wanted to work on instead of just trying to pull something out of thin air. I'm all fired up about it on Day 2 here, but I'm afraid that I ( Read more... )

Well, really it was my third novel idea, but instead I'm writing my first novel idea. I figure I can start on it and it'll be a real rough draft... just trying to get things out... I've been thinking about this one for years, and since it takes place in Chicago and I've been missing it tons, I figured I'd write about that.

I'm 1161 for today.

by the way, I'm Mary... I ended up here because I know happyelfling, I know liegt_am_meer, and I have that undeniable urge to cause myself pain for an entire month. no, not really. actually, I'll be rather excited if this manages to push me back into ( Read more... )

We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again
It's the final coundown,

Ooh oh

I don't know if there are any non-US folks on here - if so, how's it going? For the other US ( Read more... )

i've been joking that i don't "need" a plot to succeed at nanowrimo but the more i think about it, the more i think i need a little more structure. by no means will i be plotting it out in detail (and i don't think i'll even determine the ending until i'm half way through it) but i decided what i needed was a more substantial premise and at least ( Read more... )
