Awesome everyone I am Typewrittenwolf.

wolfbittenpoet · 10-27-2011, 03:33 PM

I am using Yarny to write this year. It's an in browser cloud system and is free. It is great really. They will have an offline mode coming soon.

Midnight · 10-27-2011, 09:46 PM

Signed up - how do I befriend someone there btw I'm Midnight22

Soft*Silver · 10-27-2011, 10:11 PM

Oh I am SO in this year! I signed up. MissTia is my name over there too. Tomorrow I investigate the site and see what I need to do to begin. I am already registered so friend me!

wolfbittenpoet · 10-29-2011, 12:15 PM

So is everyone ready for Tuesday. I've been doing a bunch of outlining and research. I find myself approaching this like my normal freeform writing. I actually am organized.

purepisces · 10-29-2011, 01:55 PM

I just signed up. I'm purepisces there, too.

Linus · 10-29-2011, 02:00 PM

If you've signed up and use a handle different than what's here, let everyone know (unless you want to stay hidden -- which is perfectly fine).

I'm under the handle of Syrlinus

Midnight · 10-31-2011, 07:48 PM

Ive started wooohooo! Now just to keep the momentum going!

Daywalker · 10-31-2011, 08:38 PM

Good Luck to Everyone!

I got my Certificate for NaNo in 2007!

I broke the 50,000 words with Poetry/Prose, Short Stories and my
one and only Non-Fiction closed out the Novel.
That one was 26,000 words by itself.

It just so happened that was the year the Event that Spawned
'Send the Pain Below' occured. Anyway, my hands and mind are not
working together right now. I am doing a bit of writing for a new short
story series, and thank the stars for a couple of good folks in our
Community who Gifted me with the Red Dragon program
or posts like these and short stories...etc...would
not be happening right now.

Stay Fluid!

wolfbittenpoet · 11-01-2011, 01:12 PM

Hope everyone is on their way. I spent a fair bit this morning knocking out a bit over 5k of words. I was on a roll. It's a bit fractured right now but I'm breaking down things a touch tinier.

Medusa · 11-01-2011, 04:58 PM

I've written my synopsis and have ideas boiling over! I plan to sit down tonight just before bed with a good cup of tea and some headphones to bang out a couple thousand words.

Good luck, everyone!!

Galahad · 11-01-2011, 07:42 PM

I'm off to a slow start. I understand we don't upload until the 25th? So what do we do until then? Just check in for the pep talks, advice and stuff?

We write! got to get those 50,000 words down between the 1st and 30th of Nov.

Happy writings everyone

Medusa · 11-01-2011, 08:18 PM

I'm snot to get my cup of tea and tackle some word-birds

SweetJane · 11-01-2011, 08:32 PM

Good luck everyone who joined NaNoWriMo. It's a great exercise in writing discipline.

I've never done this officially, but I did write a trilogy last year between February and May. The first book in the trilogy will be published next year.

I write on my own schedule. When I'm working on a novel, it so consumes me so much nothing else matters. I'll be in that mode later this year because I have the third book in another trilogy that my publisher really wants to see and I haven't a clue what will happen in that one!

Happy Writing.

wolfbittenpoet · 11-01-2011, 08:47 PM

Okay well I'm down to a bit over 2k of words because in my over enthusiasm this morning I forgot to save stuff so I rewrote. But I think I like my rewrite better. Hope everyone is having fun.

Midnight · 11-01-2011, 09:17 PM

Ok Im over 4000 now. Being in Oz I'm a day ahead of you guys too. Coffee and chocolates are wonderful

Medusa · 11-01-2011, 10:23 PM

Day 1 - 1659 words. It's clean so far and I wouldn't change a thing.

I started out this way the last couple of times with good, tight writing for the first couple of days. By day 15, it will be jangly and bockety like a shopping cart with a bad wheel but it's the motion that counts, right?

always2late · 11-01-2011, 11:21 PM

Got close to 3K words down. I think this will be good for me...with school and exams and everything else that gets in the way, I talk myself out of writing. This is good discipline for me to stick with it.

Medusa · 11-02-2011, 09:54 PM

I did a little over 1000 words today and am pretty damn happy with it so far. I really need to be averaging about 1600 per day but the quality right now is good so Im satisfied.

Here's to zombie novels!
