The guy at the end was hard.
If you don't know what the heck I'm talking about...click here and be enlightened. NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, in which the goal is to finish a 50,000 word novella rough draft during the month. I started late because I didn't know what it was until November 6, at which point I realized it would be fun to try to push along a story I'd had stuck in my head for a while. I wanted to write a creepy tale about a young woman who gets lost on a rural Pennsylvania road late at night and wanders into someone else's nightmare (can we tell I'm a Silent Hill fan?), and I knew the opening scene and the backstory behind the creepy shit that was to ensue, but I could never figure out how to get her out of the car and make strangeness happen. And now I have a rough draft that's far better than I thought it would be. For bullshit I pulled out of my arse as I went along, it wound up being surprisingly cohesive. I think it can be revised into a pretty decent novella. I'm going to let it sit for a while so I can reread it with fresh eyes. Did anyone else here participate in NaNo this year? Are you done? Anyone thinking of trying it out next year? I have another story idea, so I'll definitely be giving it a shot in 2006. ![]() |

I recognized NaNoWriMo but I didnŽt remember what it was.
So you beat...wait, what do you mean with "they guy at the end"? ![]() |

This sounds like it would be fun to do. I wouldn't mind doing something like this but I don't think a month will be long enough for me.
Do you know roughly how many words you wrote? |

Dudette - It was just over 50K. As in, just barely enough to make the deadline.
On a more general note - I will be happy to email my first draft to those of you who would like to read it. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Now that's scary. I thought they just sent the Internet Police after you. Somebody's been lying to me about those NaNo folks. ![]() |

You know what's funny, I could've EASILY submitted that if it were homework for university. I've been churning out a minimum of 10'000 words a week in essays ![]() |

Hey Rydain. I too participated and won nanowrimo. For being 15 and having other homework to do as well it's quite an accomplishment! ![]() |
