Who's in for this year? *raises hand*

[pern_queen_rider]

Me! ME! Me!

[Rabble]

Me! ME! Me!
Got a plot-bunny yet? :bouncy:

[Beisla]

Yes, by the stars and Faranth's egg, YES!! :hopping: :hopping: :whee:

WHY did their poor server crash?! I want to sign up NOW! :banghead:

Last year when I started NaNo I had only a vague idea for a story. This year I'm going to plan it quite well. I know it can be fun to write without much of a plot (I certainly had a great time last year! :D) but I want to try it this way now.

So, now I already have a "vague idea", and I plan on expanding on that before November 1st.

[pern_queen_rider]

Is that why I can't register? The servers down Besila and Rabbles?

I've a plot-egg up in my mind- I tihnk I may base it off of a hurricane type thingy, cause of Katrina. *hmms*

[Rabble]

I'm going to do the alternative-history idea I had a few months ago, the 'what-if?' about Sparta instead of Rome conquering most of Europe...

[pern_queen_rider]

NaNoWriMo is UP!

[Rabble]

:woohoo:

[Rabble]

My nick on the NaNo forums is... *drumroll*

Rabble. :D

I'm signing up next year when I don't need icky parental permission. :ok: Methinks I'll do well.

[Rabble]

I'm signing up next year when I don't need icky parental permission. :ok: Methinks I'll do well.
Icky parental Units wouldn't give permissions? :sad:

:group: :hugs: Oh, well... You can still write in your own time, even if you don't get to post "waaah, this story is alful and I wanna burn it!!!!1111oneonewonwonton!!!" on the NaNo forums... Oh, the joys of writing! :D

:shhh: Psst, mind if I borrow you for use as a Sounding-Board during this years' NaNo? :sheepishbuthopefulgrin: One of my ideas involves attempting a story in the Young Adult catagory. :shhh:

[BZWingZero]

NanoWriMo once again has me in it's grasp!

The 'rents were actually being nice about it, they said that I should do it next year so they didn't have to do any permission things. :roll:

Sure! :D I'm a Young Adult! OOH! OOH! PICK ME! :bouncy:

All NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) Writers get ready!

You could be plotting. You could be creating characters! You should be getting ready!

[pern_queen_rider]

All NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) Writers get ready!

You could be plotting. You could be creating characters! You should be getting ready!
Already plotted. Already created. Am ready. :D

[Jay_Quessir]

I have not created Characters but I am thinking about it. I have to find name for my character and see if I want to do modern or alternate. I don't know whether I'm ready to write an allusion to an autobiography of myself or not. I may just do it. I don't know wheteher to go Female or Male for main character but I CANNOT WAIT TIL NOVEMBER 1st!

*begins to develope all my little charts*

[Kesal]

I'd love to but simply wont have the time - My minimum time for qualification at my work comes up in November, and in the meantime I have to learn all the things I haven't been able to do (bosses needed staff in other areas. Lots of people wanting to do the special stuff for qualification but not enough room for everyone to do it).
I think I'm gonna be pretty stuffed by the time I make it home during that month.

[C_ris]

Signed up!

I don't have a lot of access to the internet - so maybe I'll write more this time!

[Rabble]

Signed up!

I don't have a lot of access to the internet - so maybe I'll write more this time!
In your dreams, Anna! :p

:goodevil:

[C_ris]

Just cos I'm gonna beat you! :roll:

:goodevil:

[Rabble]

Just cos I'm gonna beat you! :roll:

:goodevil:
Nope, nope, nope! I'll reach 50,000 before you!!! :vampy:

[Bamy]

I'm in, lord help me, I will have to juggle this, coursew**k and lectures :eek:

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Shards, I don't know how anyone would be able to write a 50,000 word story in a month :faint:

[Rabble]

I'm in, lord help me, I will have to juggle this, coursew**k and lectures :eek:

Snap! And I have a di**ertation as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (But I'm still gonna beat Rabbles :goodevil: )

[Beisla]

Shards, I don't know how anyone would be able to write a 50,000 word story in a month :faint:Why don't you try out and see? :razz:
:angel:


C'mon.. you know you want to! :D

[Bronze-Dragonrider]

Why don't you try out and see? :razz:
:angel:


C'mon.. you know you want to! :D
:erm: No, I don't really... It was hell just editing a story that long (though well worth it), I can't imagine what sort of torment I would go through actually writing it myself, without producing total drivel! :scared:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I'm in! I'm crazy, but I'm in! let's just hope I don't loose the internet!!!! :eek:

[Beisla]

I'm in! I'm crazy, but I'm in! let's just hope I don't loose the internet!!!! :eek::eek: So do I! :hugs:

But you can do NaNo even without the 'net. You only need the internet when you've written 50 000 words, between November 25th (or at least that's what it was last year) and December 1st to send the story to the NaNo site to have the word count checked.

[Zei]

How are you guys all doing with planning? Or are some of you not planning at all? ;)

[Rabble]

How are you guys all doing with planning? Or are some of you not planning at all? ;)
My planning for my history story isn't so healthy... but i've got the perfect avatar now! :goodevil:

[Rabble]

I've no idea what to do with my Alternative History NaNo story... :(

The idea is:
Sparta was the influence for modern western civilisation.

However... what would still be the same? what would be the major turning points in history effected? :banghead:

[Beisla]

Sparta was the influence for modern western civilisation.

However... what would still be the same? what would be the major turning points in history effected? :banghead:Um.. sorry, but I'm not sure if I can really help you. I don't know much about Sparta. Did a quick read on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparta#History) (not the whole article).

* Both boys and girls were physically trained. Perhaps genders would be more equal?
* Spartans were ruled by two kings, but I suspect we'd still have presidents as well as kings now.
* They apparently didn't encourage trade. Maybe countries would be more self-reliant, even secretive?

Sorry if I'm not giving good advice now. It's quite late here, so I don't think my brain could cope with the second question. :erm:

[Rabble]

* They apparently didn't encourage trade. Maybe countries would be more self-reliant, even secretive?
oooh! That's something I hadn't thought about! :bouncy:

[C_ris]

I'm in! I'm crazy, but I'm in! let's just hope I don't loose the internet!!!! :eek:

I don't have the 'net at home either, ands I'm doing it! :D

[C_ris]

Like we did last year, it would be cool if we had a page with allof our post counts on, so I give you.... NKT NaNoWriMo Participants (http://roedinofpern.bravehost.com/nano.html)

:D

[palmedfire]

I'm in. palmedfire over there too.

[Rabble]

I'm in. palmedfire over there too.
Woot! Hey, I like your avatar! :D

[Beisla]

:DI'm not sure how to do this. I already have a progress meter on Prek's site (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/nanowrimo.html), and it's still working. To get one on your site, do I need to make a new one or can I somehow copy the one on Prek's place?

[Beisla]

Ah never mind, I figured out how to do it after all! :D

You just have to update your word count, and then you'll get the code to send. :ok: I was looking for it on the user control panel...

[C_ris]

Added Beisla! :D

[Bamy]

How are you guys all doing with planning? Or are some of you not planning at all? ;)I know what the general direction my story is going take is and how it will end. i know some of the characters, and they will be based on people in RL so not many notes needed.

[C_ris]

Added Barmy :D

[palmedfire]

Woot! Hey, I like your avatar! :D


:devil: Yes. So do I... My icon pwns everyone else's icon

mostly by reducing them into componant atoms.

[Rabble]

:devil: Including mine? :eek: *Clings to hawt iconage*

[palmedfire]

:devil: Including mine? :eek: *Clings to hawt iconage*

Well, okay. Not yours. But that's just because 9/Rose= OTP!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I'm going to TRY to do it, let's put it that way ;)

[Bamy]

I have sooo much to do before then!

[Rabble]

I have sooo much to do before then!
Me toooooooo! :eek:

[Beisla]

Now come on, people!
Go to the NaNo Progress Meter site (http://www.shipbrook.com/nanowrimo/)and send your meter to C_ris! (If you don't know how, just ask!) We all want to follow each other's progress, don't we? :D


And after you've done that, you can look at this amusing comic:
The Anti-Muse (http://www.ucomics.com/nonsequitur/2005/10/15/).

[Bamy]

:rofl2: I looove that comic!

I've still only had meters from Beisla and Amy...

[Jay_Quessir]

I sent mine! Yay me! Dear lord, I'm doing an Autobiography. We are free to do a timeline before hand, right?

I need to think of a creative way to say my name. And where should I place me? I think I'll live on Mars...yeah...no...STUPID! :banghead:

GAH!

Must go make charts...

[Wolfegar]

It's getting closer. So....

All NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) Writers get back to your plotting, character creation, outlining and note making! Soon it will be time to write!

The above NaNoWriMo encouragement nag was brought to you as a public service.

[pern_queen_rider]

NAG?!

Seshpsh, I've been prepared Wolfe!

[Bamy]

I doubt that I will be a winner this year, I have so much coursework to do :sad: and this year it actually counts

:edit: I am gonna give it a good go though :good:

[Jay_Quessir]

You didn't have a chance anyways!

[Jay_Quessir]

Hee hee...I still have yet to make my charts...
I need to also finish this essay...

And read chapters 1-3 of Scarlet Letter

Hmm

[Rabble]

Let's Rock!

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good brain, must be in want of a exit when surrounded by a panicked mob."

[Wolfegar]

Depending on your Time Zone:

All NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) Writers start your writing!

Oh and as seen in the Willet:

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good brains, must be in want of a exit when surrounded by a panicked mob."
That should be:

:erm: I deny all. :blush2: :disguise:

[Jay_Quessir]

T-minus 6 hours!

[Jay_Quessir]

All right. all my stuff is set up and I have 30 minutes left! I just finished reading the last of my past NaNo cause this is going to be a sequel! The Ellesian Princess transfers into the Ellesian Heir. :) Yay Jazen Ellesian!

[Jay_Quessir]

Lol... I just found my notes on what this book should have been about. AH! I need to write an Epilogue! I need to tell how the heroic Trilon made it to Ahamay and how no one else has found this path. I am not ready to do a modern-fantasy novel yet though.

I believe this year the Ellesian Heir will be best for me.

Exactly 30 minutes left! need to go get tea and crumpets...er...cookies...:)

[Jay_Quessir]

In one hour I wrote 1115 words. I still have a whole day to work 2!

[Bamy]

It took me the same to do 1200

[Wolfegar]

All NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) Writers get on with your writing!

If you're posting in here, you aren't writing your NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org)!

[C_ris]

There is still only four people on the NKT NaNo Participants (http://roedinofpern.bravehost.com/nano.html) page!

[Jay_Quessir]

C_ris, it's not showing up. The progress meters that is. Also, I PMed you my info but you never put me up!!!

I'll send you my data one more time!

[Bamy]

Crispy, if youdo have a progress meter, are you actually going to update it? :evil: you look to be really falling behind me and Beisla :devil:

[Jay_Quessir]

I've now got 4049!

[Jay_Quessir]

Since C_ris 's page is actually working for me, I went ahead and added everyone that is on his page (except Amy's [what is your id #?]) to mine!

[Jay_Quessir]

And Pern_Queen_Rider
I need your ID number too (It says it in the tag for your img)

[Jay_Quessir]

KT NaNo Progress (http://www.geocities.com/moonsshadowweyr/nano.htm)

That's the link. PM me your ID # if I forgot you!

I''m in the lead (except for whoever had 5000 on the first day!)

[Buggsy]

Hiya all. Ya know, I think Nano couldn't come at a worse time for me... lol! It's the end of the school year and I've got hard exhausting exams/assignments being flung at me from left right and centre. I'll be glad to break the 5000 word mark at the moment.

Ah well, time or no the insanity is still fun!

[C_ris]

Before you didn't send a code, Jay.

I have now added palmedfire, siverfall_weyr and buggsy to the page!

[C_ris]

Crispy, if youdo have a progress meter, are you actually going to update it? :evil: you look to be really falling behind me and Beisla :devil:

Mondays and Tuesdays are busy for me! All day on campus or reading! And I was away all weekend, so I have LOADS of stuff to clean mud off as well... :crazy:

[Buggsy]

Before you didn't send a code, Jay.

I have now added palmedfire, siverfall_weyr and buggsy to the page!

Thankies!

Thought if I remember to update my word count it will a bliddy miracle :D

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

KT NaNo Progress (http://www.geocities.com/moonsshadowweyr/nano.htm)

That's the link. PM me your ID # if I forgot you!

I''m in the lead (except for whoever had 5000 on the first day!)

I'm not on there, but I'm not sure of my ID (my profile is at http://www.nanowrimo.org/userinfo.php?t=1130890902&uid=79514 if that helps)!
I think I might have y'all beat ;)

[Bamy]

You haven't, have a look at Jay's meter :eek:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

You haven't, have a look at Jay's meter :eek:

Hmmm.. I don't see a meter anywhere, and that page that has the progress thing (that's in Jay's siggie) is just names in white text on a black background.

So if so, I stand corrected. What is his word count?

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

Now come on, people!
Go to the NaNo Progress Meter site (http://www.shipbrook.com/nanowrimo/)and send your meter to C_ris! (If you don't know how, just ask!) We all want to follow each other's progress, don't we? :D


And after you've done that, you can look at this amusing comic:
The Anti-Muse (http://www.ucomics.com/nonsequitur/2005/10/15/).

I don't know how.. someone tell me how and I'll be happy to do it! :D

[Jay_Quessir]

My word count is 5000...it's weird but none of the things show up on anyone's site!

[Jay_Quessir]

I can see y'all's though!

Beisla has like 5200, I have 5044, and C_ris has 515 (way to go)

[Jay_Quessir]

Sign up and hten update your word count. Just go through that link. THen copy the little HTML that it give you after you update your word count.

[Jay_Quessir]

C_ris, mine has never been near that....lol..I DO NOT HAVE 27000! I WISH!

[Jay_Quessir]

Oh...my ID # is 2550 not 2250...that's the problem. ON your site, I still do not see the first four meters!

[Jay_Quessir]

Okay...I updated my page to have your word counts by your name so that if you can't see the thing I can at least tell you what it said last time I checked...I couldn't get geocities to do like C_ris had his do so sorry, it's all in a line.

[Jay_Quessir]

Oh...If you get bored or uncreative during writing, I suggest looking at the dares in the NaNoWriMo forums!

[Buggsy]

Oh...If you get bored or uncreative during writing, I suggest looking at the dares in the NaNoWriMo forums!

That or just throw something random into it! lol

[Jay_Quessir]

That works too but I like reading the dares...

Dare:
Have one of your characters get hit with a bus
Bonus if the bus has the stop sign thingy out.

[Jay_Quessir]

I just realized that in my NaNo from last year, I said Ahali (the maker of the magic of Ahamay) once and left it. Wow...but I did write a pretty good novel if I do say so myself. I was checking out a character's actual appearance is why I was looking back...

Hmmm...I have brought Ahali back in this novel though...good for me...people need to know more about Ahali..

[Jay_Quessir]

I also figured out that I completed anothe dare from the NaNo forums

Dare:
Have a charcter in your novel change genders
Bonus:
No one notices
Double Bonus:
It was a main character
Triple:
Important to the plot

I got Bonus, Simi Double, and Triple.

lol...that's horrible.

[Wolfegar]

If you're in here, you aren't writing.

All NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) Writers get back to your writing!

[Beisla]

I don't know how.. someone tell me how and I'll be happy to do it! :DFirst, go to the Progress Meter (http://www.shipbrook.com/nanowrimo/)site and create an account. Then when you're logged in, go to your User Control Panel. Update your word count either by submitting a file for counting or (as I prefer to do it) typing in your word count manually. After you click Submit, scroll down the page and you'll get various copiable codes. Copy either the first or the second one and PM it to C_ris.

[C_ris]

Oh...my ID # is 2550 not 2250...that's the problem. ON your site, I still do not see the first four meters!

ooops, my bad! fixed!

[C_ris]

Okay...I updated my page to have your word counts by your name so that if you can't see the thing I can at least tell you what it said last time I checked...I couldn't get geocities to do like C_ris had his do so sorry, it's all in a line.

Try using a table - feel free to copy the source code from that page if you wish, Jay.

[Buggsy]

Can't sleep. The DAffodils will eat me. CAn't sleep. The Daffodils will eat me.

Sorry, I've been writing for too long. I lost what little pretense to sanity I had.

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

c_ris!!!! Clean out your PM box!! I can't send you my code!



;)

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

Okay... I have to be insane!! I wrote over 8,000 words yesterday!!!!!!! :eek:


*runs away to write more so poppa wolf doesn't drool on me*

[Bamy]

WeWoKa, I suspect that with your word count uncle wolfie will not be drooling. (well maybe a little)

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

WeWoKa, I suspect that with your word count uncle wolfie will not be drooling. (well maybe a little)

LoL

Ya never know.. he might just to get me to keep writing ;)

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

Hey silverfall, you didn't add me to your list!

[Jay_Quessir]

PM me your code...I can't add you until you do so!

[Beisla]

PM me your code...I can't add you until you do so!Then how did you get my code? :confused:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

PM me your code...I can't add you until you do so!

err... call me a sievehead, but my code for that progress meter thing? Or my id number (which I think is 79514) for the NaNo site?

I'm so confused!!!! :confused: :dazed:

[Jay_Quessir]

Then how did you get my code? :confused:

I stole it off Prek's Site! All you have to do is right click and then image properties. Your ID number is at the very end of the image's link.

[Jay_Quessir]

Your code for the progress meter!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I scared myself for a bit there!! I was almost totally stuck on where to go next, but brainstorming is a very good thing!!

Well, I already knew that, but I was panicing. :eek:

[Jay_Quessir]

You make me made Kalina!

But congrats on the Word count!!! :)

I'm going to bed...I'll update my word count in the morning

[Bamy]

I got a bit stuck yestrdaay, my muse disappeared and I just had to stop and do other things.

[Buggsy]

I wish my muses would give a little peace. I haven't been able to get anything down because I have to concerntrate on an english assignment. I'm getting a headache from all the ideas spinnign about up there.

[Bamy]

That is pure evil! (having said that, I have MY geography muses locked in the dungeons at the mo)

[C_ris]

[Beisla]

I've thought of a new siggy for myself on the NaNo forums. :D

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of NaNo'ists fails; when we forsake our plots and break all bonds to our writing buddies - but it is not this day. This day, WE WRITE!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I've thought of a new siggy for myself on the NaNo forums. :D

I LOVE IT!!! :bouncy: :bow: :applause:

[Jay_Quessir]

*currently listening to Stole by Kelly Rowland*

I admit it, I am procrastinating by looking up songs for the winter formal that the Drama club is putting together for the Junior High. We're gonna kick much butt!

I just got back from play practice and have three hours to write. I don't knwo why I insist on staying up to midnight every night but I do and then I go on to do my homework past midnight or in the early morning!!!

I'm back to writing now!

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

I would like to announce, that after 8 days of writing like there's no tomorrow, and after 15,000+ words and 7 hours today, I have reached the word count of 50,012 words!!!!!

[Bamy]

I have been on fire tonight! went for a wander listening to LoTR RoTK soundtrack, got loads of ideas it is sooo cool. I must have written over 1500 just on that stuff tonight sadly it will need to be typed out at a later date cos loads of it is for later in the story. (the end of the story)

[Buggsy]

:shhh: be vewy vewy quite, novewists at wowk! Sorry I couldn't resist. :D

Oh a more grouchy note I was typing up some of my novel at school the other day and some complete (insert insult of choice) shut of my computer (yes it was delibrate). Why do people insist on doing things like that??

[Bamy]

Gits! :hugs: did you loose much?

[Buggsy]

Fortunately I'd only been typing for like 15 mins (took 20 just to get the computer running...) so not much... but thats not the point :cry:

He's just lucky I didn't see his face......

[Jay_Quessir]

Someone did that to me as well...not during NaNo but they do it because they think it's funny to see me cussing the idiot who thought he was so cool!

[Jay_Quessir]

My word count is now 18,000. I need to get to writing this afternoon. Fell asleep yesterday!!!

May take laptop to school today but that is debatable...:)

I'm at 22096 now; will write another thousand today! :bouncy:

And ooh, today I'm going to my first NaNo meetup ever! Last year there were no meetings in Helsinki, but this year they've already had one. I couldn't make it to the first one since I had w*rk, but today I'm all free and very excited! It won't take too much out of my writing time, either, since I can write on the train.

There's also going to be one or two English-speakers there; at least one of them is from the States (Oregon). :cool:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

Ooo.. someone from Oregon! I'm from Oregon :bouncy: heh

I almost went to a meet-up, being as it was only 5 minutes from me, but I didn't feel like leaving the house, AND it was at a Starbucks where I used to work :erm:


But have fun, Beisla, and congrats to everyone on their progress! :applause:

[Bamy]

I can't afford to go into Birmringham :( I will only be able to get to the last meetup and then only maybe :(

[Rabble]

I probably won't get to any of the meetups here. *shrugs*

[elfycat]

Hi all here. I wasn't in this discussion before. :wave: to the also willeters who often discuss NaNo there. I'm on 19013 words, having done 4418 so far today, but I think that's enough and my brain has now turned to mush!

[Jay_Quessir]

I just got back from a friend's sweet 16 party so I'm starting to write. I'm still at 20,024 b/c I was asleep all day after getting home from our first (and last) playoff game in football at about 1:30am. I woke up at noon and fell asleep again watching a movie. So....here I go!

[elfycat]

I'm just over halfway there!!:bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

Tomorrow is my big day: I have no school but only work in the evening; for the first time in my NaNo history I'm going to try to write more than 5000 words in one day.
The day I hit 50K last year I was close with 4956 words but this year I want to try hitting 5K on one day. :bouncy:

[Weyrwoman Kalina]

Uhm... how did I get 50,000 words, let alone in 8 days?

No idea... :faint:

I would also like to get to 50K today. (unfortunately lectures will get in the way somewhat)

[Bamy]

Woot, I did it! :woohoo:

This leaves me at 48K and all set to hit 50K tomorrow! :D

[Bamy]

Nice one Beisla!!! I want to get to 50K toight so I can concentrate on my corsework. I :erm: have kind of ignored it for the past week and :erm: :blush: several pieces are due in thursday/friday :blush:

[Beisla]

Congrats, Amy! :bouncy: :party: :woohoo:

[Bamy]

I be a winner too!!!

[Wolfegar]

Congratulations to the NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) 50K achievers! Well done!

[Beisla]

I've hit 60K, and still going strong! :bouncy: :bouncy:

Unfortunately I'm now quite sure that even with 2000 words/day my story won't be finished by the end of November (not that it has to be). In December I'm going to slow down my pace; only yesterday I've started to feel like I could use a break from writing. It's been a wonderful month, but I'm finally starting to get a bit tired. Well, only a couple more days of crazy writing... :D
But I still want to have the unedited version of my story done by the end of December! That shouldn't be too hard... :erm:

[Jay_Quessir]

Let me start off by saying:

Darn plays, Thanksgiving, family, AND friends.

I have been so darn busy, sick, and stuffed the last four-five days that I have only managed a mere 1K a day (if even). So here I sit at a mere 35K...

Do you think in three days, I can pull off a mad-dash for the finish?

PLACE YOUR DARN BETS!

[Beisla]

YES YOU CAN, SILVER! :bouncy: :bouncy:

And I hope you're not reading this but typing your story. :darkside:

[Faren]

Congrats to all the NaNo winners!:applause: :bow:

SilverJay...I know you can do it!!:good:

[Bamy]

You Can Do It Jay!!!

How's it going??

Go for it. I just crawled, panting and exhausted to 50072 and am now validated! The story's not finished but I'm off for a nap now :deadtired

[Jay_Quessir]

Hmmm...I can make it to 37K in the next hour. I'm not going to be a winner in '05. Too many things got in the way but I do love the way my novel is going right now. I'm planning on extending NaNoWriMo into Dec. and writing out a plan to have 100K by the end of the month

I did not win but I have a great concept going and I'm accepting that I lost something. I'll be fine. This month was to challenge me to start writing and stop being a "one day novelist" (read the NaNo site...one day I'll write a novel, basically). I'm going to be a "this and next month novelist"

I'll probably slow it down a bit and take my time editing and perfecting it so that I don't have to do it again like I do with the last book. I'm not even to page 10 of its editing but it is going pretty good.

I just lost 6 more minutes from NaNo here, but I'll be okay. THank you all for the support, but I just filled my plate a bit too full this year to be doing NaNo.

Hmm...I need to go seperate a chapter here...

Bye all, see you at midnight!

[Bamy]

well done Jay for whatever your count!

[Bamy]

my novel is nowhere near complete adn will need some serious editing but that can wait untill I have finished writing it (I hope to do this during december) and will give the people who are doing a first reading the chance to finish and send back some useful comments. If anyone would like to read my effort so far please give me a PM with your email address so I can send it out :)

[Jay_Quessir]

33,334 was at the end of it all...I editted out a lot there at the end (cause I couldn't win anyways) and it made it better. I had something really stupid as filler...but now its better and I have the word count that should have been at day 20...
stupid sickness

[Rabble]

Congrats all that did make it to 50,000...

As for me? Nope. :( I *could* have made it, but I decided I didn't want a repeat of last year - I sort of burned out, and took almost the whole year to recover. I still can't look at the drivel I spewed last year.

However, I like how my story is going, and i'm going to keep writing it even though November is over. Might not have the purple bar but... I WIN! :)

Who's up for Club 100? :bouncy:

[Brenda]

Is anyone going to post their novels here? "Matters of Heart" is the only one so far.

[BZWingZero]

Well, I had ton's of classwork to do, Wrote and edited and researched about 5k words for that. But unfourtunately my final NaNoWriMo count stants at a measily _0_... Well, better luck next year.

[Rabble]

Club 100:

http://www.nanowrimo.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=26832&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=0

[Bamy]

I am not, but I will make it known when I have finished writing it so that people can read and critique it for me...

[Beisla]

No, or not yet at least.
Until I finish my novel I'm going to try writing 1000 words per day. After that I might try the club 100. Although that may have to be put off since I do want to do some editing on my NaNo stories.

[Jay_Quessir]

I just posted my 2004 NaNo winner: The Ellesian Princess


It's under "The Ellesian Legacy Series (NaNo 04-05 Books 1 and 2)"

Hope you enjoy!!!

[Rabble]

No, or not yet at least.

There's also a 'club 1000' - 1,000 words per day for a thousand days... :evil:

:hude:

[Jay_Quessir]

lol....I'm going to join the club 1000 during the summer...:)

[Anneli]

I bombed :( Started quite well, then got a virus (physical, not computer ;)) which wiped me out for three whole weeks in November...

Still, there's always next year :)

[Bamy]

Aww...:hugs: There is indeed net year...:blush: I have kinda given up the club 100 for a while...uni is just a bit too busy at the moment. I will restart it in the christmas holidays...
