NaNoWriMo

[drksideofthemoon]

Yeah, yeah, I realize that it's the first day of July, but November will soon be upon us.

For the new writers in our midst, NaNoWriMo, or Nation Novel Writing Month, is a competition to write a 50,000 word story in the thirty days of November. You will laugh, you will cry, you will swear never to do it again, and you will get sucked back in.

You can't begin writing your story until November 1st, but you can start planning your story.

We had a pretty good contingent of writers from the AH who participated last year, so let's do it again.

For anyone interested, here is the NaNoWriMo website. NaNoWriMo

Hmmm, would that be categorized as research?...

Well, that or hang around the bar with a pencil stuck behind our ears...

I'll choose that option.

 

[drksideofthemoon]

I'll choose that option.

LOL....all you would have to do is come home and write your daily Miss Glynndah stories from school.

My luck it'll be a very boring year... I'd have to make stuff up.

Nah, the years come and go, but kids never change....(you could use some of your last years stuff too)

Oh you know I'm always in. Right now, I'm editing last years and getting it ready to send to a publisher. Someone said I should publish my Hunter stories, and now I'm getting ready to.

How's my favorite hero tonight?

I don't know if I can. I always feel disappointed in myself when I fail so badly.

 

[LadynStFreknBed]

I'm in. I wanted to do this last year, but that didn't work out.
I like that they will send me a reminder email.

 

[Lee Chambers]

I'm going to try again this year. I joined in last year, but a sudden shifts in jobs pretty much blew all my writing plans out of the water. Hopefully things will stay as they are this year.

Just try...all you can do is try...

Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
