National Novel Writing Month

easygoingfemme · 10-17-2012, 06:33 AM

Bump!!!!
Little under two weeks before we all disappear into our heads for a month...

Two days!!!
Also, if you register with NANO and get writing buddies, it does not mean you are sharing your work. It just means that you can cheer each other on with word counts. You can choose to share snippets of your writing but it's not required or assumed.

I have gotten 3 people at work to join in! We are going to try to carve out part of our lunch hours every day to write in a think tank together!

To be perfectly honest, the idea of writing a novel terrifies me, I've had an outline for one hanging around for years now, but I just don't have the, I wouldn't say patience or stamina, to write a novel in a month, but my health's not reliable enough to let me sit every day to write, otherwise I would give it a go.
So, good luck to all of you who are participating!

Good Luck to everyone taking part this month.

I have my morning carved out to sit and write when I get back from the pool. I have a new wireless keyboard as I hate my keyboard on the laptop that I use for writing.

A minimum of 1667 words today.
I will try to write extra in the beginning in case I fall behind as the month progresses. Last year there were days I wrote 8000+ words and some days that I wrote none. I try not to break my flow if it is there.

Don't get discouraged if you can't get all the words out that you need. Even if you don't reach the 50,000 words you will still have written more then if you hadn't participated. Be kind to yourselves. It is good to have goals, but some is better then none.

Happy writing NaNoWriMo peeps.

Whoot! Happy NANO kick off day!
My day is packed, I have a feeling I won't get quiet writing time until late tonight- goal of 1500 words for day 1. I do the same Laruss, some days I just can't dig in, others I'll bang out 5-8,000 words and pull ahead. Just a matter of making that time happen every day and not stopping myself with doubt and criticism!

I'm no fiction writer but it's exciting to watch you all tackle this challenge!

Welp. It's started..maybe this year I can actually finish it (it may be a nice break from the work book I've been working on and may help the writer's block I've had with it)
