SO EXCITED. Why can't it come sooner? I might just end up being a NaNo rebel...

 

I asked before, asking again. Who's joining me in this madness, even if you're not aiming for 50k? I'm hoping to get some things done; the arts/writing is only the few things that keeps me from falling apart these days (even though I don't do enough).

 

Like last year, I'll make a list of all the BZPers! Is anyone also on the website? (I'm almost certain B6 said we could talk about it as long as we don't link it...sorry if I misunderstood) I'd love to know about y'alls ideas and stalk your word count. I just wanted to bother everyone with this, I'm trying to get my mind off other things.

 

NANOWRIMO YAY!

I'll be doing it alongside you again!

We're already contacts on there, I believe.

 

Send me an IM (or similar *wink*) sometime because I would love to throw story ideas around, but I don't want to post mine online.

I may be in. Depends. Add my name as a Maybe.

If I can get a good Idea.....I'll join.

Yeah, pretty much same here. I'm considering trying it, I don't write a lot so I figure it might be a good exercise in writing things in general. I'll probably take a stab at something Bionicle related if I can, I just love what you can do with bio-mechanical characters who have elemental powers. But I don't wanna use any of the Bionicle related story ideas I have in my head right now as I want those to go towards a possible larger polished work I might actually want to show to someone someday. So if I can think of anything else...

NaNo's primary purpose is writing your 'first draft' on whatever your idea is. It's a good idea to get whatever you want out of your head, and then for December onwards you polish it up. (that's actually what I'm doing for Glitch, sorta. The bionicle version is the 'first draft' for the original novel)

I'm joining, though not 50K, more like 10K...since highschool and a huge philosophy-based research paper are eating up my time.

 

Though I've got so many ideas that I'm not sure exactly yet which one I'm doing..

*moan*

 

I want to do it soooo much...

 

 

But point of fact is i can never seem to get past 4000 words, max :/

What's keeping you? Physical ailments? Someone towering over you with a mace to beat you up, once you reach 4,000? You got talent Kini, don't let procrastination take control of you.

Write twelve and a half short stories!

 

I'm most likely in, though not optimistic about my chances of winning. I really need to keep my grades up...

I'm definitely in this year, though I'm using this more as something to kick me back into writing fiction. After the kick, maybe I'll aim for the goal next year or so. I'm also on the website, if you want to stalk someone. :P

I would consider joining, but quite frankly I don't even know what it is. Is it like a writing contest?

 

So far, I don't have a lot of information on it. :unsure:

It is more like a personal challenge with a TON of other people. It is up to you to write 50,000 words of a story (novel) in a month, and only you. (Though hopefully you will have supportive friends, like us on BZP doing it.)

 

In short: Write a novel of at least 50,000 words in 30 days--November. That is 1,667 words a day, at least. The goal is for quantity over quality. Do not go back and rewrite, spell check, or anything else until you finish. Just write, making the story progress. There will be times where you do not know what will happen next, and times where you could keep writing for hours upon hours into the night. That is the point: write!

(And if you finish, you can say you've written a novel!)

 

Check out the website for more info.

Yuhs! I'm doing it. But since I didn't get to meet my previous goal, I'll set it at 10,000 this year, just because of skool and stuff.

We should totes do some sort of group writing sesh connected by IM. That would be fun.

Great idea! We should definitely plan to that sometime.

And you know what? Screw it, i have some ideas, some great ideas, IMO... I'll try for 5000, at the least. i mean, really, once i get going, it's hard to stop :D
