Yaaay, a convert! XD lol. NaNoWriMo is just awesome.

I'd suggest... coming up with an idea to write about. That always helps. ;P

narnian_warrior August 18 2008, 04:35:29 UTC

Bahaha, I've never thought of that word for it xD

LOL! Yes, I'm sure that would help immensely ;) I've heard that it's best to write about what you know...but that could be hard, especially if I have a villain and it happens to be somebody who may read the story, haha.

Yeah, that's what everybody says. "Write what you know, write what you know!" Whatever that's supposed to mean. Jane Austen was single all her life, what did she know about romance? Mwahaha!

lol... I guess it actually is good advice. I mean, I'm writing about an ordinary girl who lives in a small town because I know about ordinary girls who live in small towns. I don't write about the Russian aristocracy in the 1500s because I don't know... if there even actually WAS a Russian aristocracy in the 1500s. :P

Haha! No kidding! I heard she had a guy and it fell through or something, but you're right - she never married. And all of her movies are about it!

Yay! I've been thinking about it too, and really hope to actually get somewhere this year! You sound like me, starting, then deleting it all. ;) We can do it, though! :D

narnian_warrior August 19 2008, 01:48:34 UTC

Yay, I'm not the only one who deleted all of my stuff! :-p I felt silly doing it, but I really just didn't like what I'd written. Maybe this time we can keep each other in account.

How do you do it?

I might want to try...

narnian_warrior August 20 2008, 02:01:12 UTC

NaNoWriMo is...well, I'm sure you probably have heard of it. You write 50,000 words in the month of November. The cutoff date is midnight on the last night of November. So literally, it's JUST that month. That's pretty much all there is to it.

vetgirl93 August 21 2008, 00:59:02 UTC

But do you have to join something?

narnian_warrior August 21 2008, 01:53:53 UTC

Yeah, just go to NaNoWriMo.com :)
