nanowrimo eemo eemo

[mojo_cat]

Hey, guys.

I've been lurking around here to catch up on everyone. I'm still tapped out for poetry these days, minus one new thing I submitted today, but it's not anything special, just an exercise to keep myself sharp (if i was ever sharp to begin with, ho ho ho.)

I'm wondering how many/if any of you are doing Nanowrimo this month. I've started mine, up to 4,000 words now, and I've been keeping it in an online LJ just to constantly remind myself to work on it a bit each day.

I find that most literature these days is drifting towards a more poetic form of prose; the last few books I've read have had much more of a dream-prose feel and I'm hoping this trend might make it a little easier on the poetry "market" for those of us aiming at publication.

Oh and in other good news I got married

So hopefully this isn't a repeater thread, but I'm curious. Anyone doing Nano? If so, how/where are you keeping track of what you've done so far, and do you find Nano a good "excuse" to finally tackle a novel, or is it more of an experiment for you?

My stance: As much as Nano tends to result in a lot of futuristic novels about talking unicorns from what I see in some of the groups I'm part of, (like "Income Tax Preparers of Pern"), I still think it's mad cool when anyone writes a novel.

Congrats on your marriage

I would've loved to participated in Nanowrimo, but unfortuanately I already had a full plate with work, school and the reason I do both.

Nobody on the poetry board is doing NaNo2004 as far as I know, but there are tons of people on the author's thread that are.

Woowoo! and Contats! to the marriage.

As for Nano, head over here and join the madness. I am a the only one here in the poetry corner that does it, but there are some 20 fellas over at the Author's Hangout. The link goes to our NaNoWriMo support thread, where we cheer eachother on.

I'm 10000 words into my novel, and no unicorns yet.

10,000 words in four days! Sheeshus! You're gonna set your thinker on fire.

It's good to hear some people are into it, though. I'll check out the thread.

Thanks to everyone with the congrats, too. Marry another writer, it's the only way No more bitching about the tappa-tappa-tappa of keys at 4 am.

Ooops . Sorry Liar, silly me. I knew you were doing it too.

Hiya Mojo and congratulations on your marriage.

Congrats, too, on 4000 words already (and you too Liar, oh man of the 10k words). I would have loved to do it, but I'm not sure what I want to write besides poetry at the moment. I have some ideas, but I'm going to stick with poems for now. If there were more hours in the day though....

 

[The_Fool]

I want to, but November seems to be the month for massive friggin' papers for my masters degree. Yes those are words, often they are fiction, but it is still not quite the same....

danke danke

Thanks, Angeline and Mr. The Fool. Being married's pretty cool. Though as the magnet on my mom's fridge always said as i was growing up...."I like hugs, I like kisses, but what I love is help with the dishes."

I'm finding Nano pretty hard to get around to, mostly because of the massive writer's block I've had since, oh, this time last year, but so far the book is going well. I do need to find some people from Texas for source material, or else I'll look like a Barry Gifford wannabe weenie.

Though...is it too late to change my forum name to Perdita Durango? she's so awesome...

If, um, anyone wants to keep up with my Nano I'm hosting it on my journal, which I think I posted the url too, but I don't wanna look desperate so I'll leave it at that.

Thanks all for the support. I thought you guys would have totally forgotten me by now! Have a good day.

here's me and the boy, moments before marriage.

That's a sweet picture.

I'll try to look in on your journal, but I'm working feverishly on my website and submitting poems to journals and working and well, you get the idea.

And yknow when someone writes poems like yours, forgetting ain't an option.
