So, who else here is doing NaNo this year?

And is anyone a rebel like me and doing it early.

I'm starting tomorrow, and doing it for thirty days of October, due to November being busy for me this year.

I have a title, plot and characters all ready to go, and I'm raring to get started in the morning.

If you want more info on my novel or to track my ( Read more... )

It's the end of the show for NaNoWriMo 2010. As they say in the biz, that's all she wrote.

So how'd it go?

Did you hit 50,000 or your goal? Did you reach the end of the story? Are you going to continue to work on this novel or trunk it? Are you going to do NaNo next year?

How evocative! Some of the most fascinating characters in literature (and life!) are driven, self-destructive, or tragically flawed. So ( Read more... )

Guys. GUYS. Guess what.

It's halftime.

Today's goal is 25,000 words, to put us halfway through the month and halfway to the final 50,000-word goal. That milestone is a special joy, and it comes with special challenges ( Read more... )

Why, hello there, NaNoMoJo! You're looking good today.

Today's on-track word count goal is 18333 words (or if you're going the finish-by-Thanksgiving route, 22917). Those word counts are getting rather large, aren't they? They have some heft. Which means we have enough words to do one of my favorite NaNo activities: the auto-summarize ( Read more... )

Good morning, NaNoMoJo!

We should be crossing the 15,000 mark today in order to stay on-target. If you're behind, make that extra push and catch up today! If you're ahead...make that extra push anyway, because darkness looms ( Read more... )
