15,000 words in one month!

Oct 19, 2010 19:22

I've pledged 500 words a day. I'm a little scared. But I've had a story idea in my head two Christmases in a row, and I'm finally going to write it.

It's BANDOM. I haven't written Bandom in months. The split killed my ships, but I'm going to resurrect them here in an AU.

( my story idea, let me tell you it )

writing, event: mini_nanowrimo, polls

I'm doing Ginormous NaNo, so I'll probably need more hand holding than you. *g* But you have my support and mental cheerleading!

cynthia_arrow October 20 2010, 16:37:42 UTC

I'll wave my pompoms for you, too, then!

cynthia_arrow October 20 2010, 16:38:17 UTC

Apparently, I'll also point Helo's gun at you, lol. Sorry. :)

This is the most ridic of ideas, and I support it 114%! White Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday movie! And I just adore how you're playing around with the era and general themes. *bounces*

cynthia_arrow October 20 2010, 16:43:05 UTC

Yay! *smishes you*

I see you're doing mini nano too? How many words a day? We shall have to rely on each other for moral support.

*glomps*

I am indeed. I've got a local pal who's doing Nano and is looking for writing support, so I thought what the hell? I'm doing 500 words a day too - that seems to be about where I get stuck doing 750 words, so seems reasonable.

I say yes to morale support! In fact, I was thinking of maybe opening up St. Happenstance's coffeehouse in my journal for the duration. That seemed to be popular last year...

Good luck!!

cynthia_arrow October 20 2010, 16:43:26 UTC

Thanks, darling. :D

I'm doing mini nano to keep my brain from becoming all atrophied from only thinking school thoughts. I wish I had a plan for what to do with my writing so I won't end up with 20+ ficlets that never got anywhere, which is exactly what happened last year.

Your fic idea sounds crazy fun :)

cynthia_arrow October 21 2010, 20:00:36 UTC

I hope it'll be crazy fun and not just crazy. I've been so stalled with my writing since I got my brain straightened out. I think, though, I've just psyched myself out about it, and if I force myself to just do it, I'll get back into the swing of things.

My original plan was to write 30 ficlets, so I think that's a perfectly nice way to go about mini_nano. You deserve to do lots of fun things instead of stress about having one fabulous idea. Good luck, and let me know if you need a beta for anything. :)

I'm always happy to be involved in idea bouncing and reading :)

I seriously might need assistance as early as next week -- with making sure the outline of my plot makes sense.

You're doing mini_nano, too, yes? Do you know what you're working on yet?

themoononastick October 21 2010, 22:55:08 UTC

I'm around most evenings so drop me an email whenever you feel the need. (Except Wednesday when I'll be out and about in London seeing Black Cards)

I am, yes. I have no idea what I'm going to be working on right now. I have a whole bunch of wips and an equal amount of story ideas - I think I'm just going to pick whichever one feels most doable on the day.
