The site's going to be bogged down for the next few days. Don't worry about it...just get started. ![]() |

I would love to participate in this. I wanted to last year but couldn't.
However, the page won't load. ![]() ![]() |

I started at midnight yesterday, and I'm at ~2200 now. I'm stuck at the moment, but I don't really care. I'm way ahead of where I was last year at this time. ![]() Originally posted by Pvt. PrinnySure...as long as it's 50,000 words of a new project. You could always write a short story and add random tangents to parts of it just for fun (or as a writing exercise or whatever). Plus, if my experience revising last year's NaNo is at all typical, the manuscript might wind up in short story territory when you're done. ![]() |

If the page would load for me, hell yes.
I need to get the rules before I start writing. If I'm just supposed to do a short story, I can make it kick ass. |

Becuse I had some stupid ideas for stories in my head lately. ![]() |

I was talking to Kirbynite about this...because I have a solo write I've been working on for a couple of years now that's cleared the 50K word mark...but...
So... :\ |

I'll have to ask a friend from here what she thinks; I was pretty sure she was doing it last year, too, but last year is far longer than where my memory stops being trustworthy.
I would never do it myself, since I'm both uncreative, undescriptive, horrible at writing, and extremely genreic. (I'm also really good at excuses) |

I don't know if graphic novels count, but I one timne considered jotting down some concepts for a manga some time ago...eventual lack of motivation/time lead me to never go anywhere with it, it was probably a stupid idea anyway. Maybe I can write something down for this month, though. |

a.k.a. National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write 50,000 words of a brand spanking new rough draft over the course of November. I found out about it on November 6 last year and figured it wasn't too late to try. A couple of years prior, I'd gotten an idea for a scary story, but I was never able to get it off the ground, so I forgot about it. I figured I'd give it another try and see what happened. I wound up finishing a 50K draft that, for something speedwritten with nothing to go on other than an opening scene and the beginnings of a disturbing back story, really wasn't bad, and I've been polishing it up into a much better second draft.
I'm doing it again this year, only I actually got a bit of planning done beforehand. Again, I have an opening scene (which is from a weird dream I had a while ago - it looked like the beginning of a horror game or movie) and some idea of what's going on, but that's it. Let's see where it goes from there. Any other NaNo participants? |
