Hey, is anyone here writing for nanowrimo?

Edit: I am! up to 500+ words (i know, so little), so far.

I am, and I think at least a couple of other people are, too.

I always think it would be cool to do this, and yet I never actually participate. Blame it on the P.

That said, I do have a few things scattered about that I've been working on for a while. Nothing I'd ever try to publish, but they're there nonetheless.

Mmhmm, first year.

I'll suck it up this year and sign up. A friend of mine has already made me swear to write at least 40 pages by the end of the semester (can you tell that pledge was made a while ago, seeing as how I've graduated), so this might be a good way to kill two birds with one extremely verbose stone.

Good luck everyone!

I'm not sure if I wanna. When's the last day for signups?

When's the last day for signups?

November 29th. So, anytime really, as long as you're giving yourself enough time.

Edit: ya beat me to it.

I'd never heard of this, but now I know. What a cool concept.
One to file under "I could have had that idea".

I suppose the next step in figuring out if I should write something is figuring out something to write about. I could hardly fill up 150+ pages exploring the transdimensional adventures of my stinky socks.

Yeah you could, and you could probably make it interesting.

I could, I'd have your socks being an alter ego and being less clicky and standoffish, they would go on several adventures in the first novel and travel, see the places they always read about, met lots of people and had inter/intra-personal adventures along the way.

I'm doing it... day one complete... but I tell ya, it certainly cuts down on my reading time on INTPc.

Rhu... PM me and I'll be your writing buddy here in DC for the next few weeks. Amazingkae makes zombie face and says you have to write 1699+ words per day to win their little challenge thingy. More than brain can contemplate, really.

I'm being classic MBTI--challenging myself to write 10-20k words on one project only. Right now, that's working for me.

I hope IVY does it... and Noahfence... together. I think it would make a great "he said she said" novel to read.

first of all, *bump*

second of all, on day four I'm up to just over 7K words.

note, words. no story yet

SciFi / adventure crossover. Satyr looking for a lost pen pal -- a centaur. Have to go through the men, and the minotaurs to get there.

EDIT: Rhu, yes you could talk about stinky socks for 150 pages. Try it and find out. can't be any worse than the tripe I'm writing. Plus of course there's always next year when, having experienced NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org) you'd have a better idea of the time involved, and could pick a story in October.

Round about halloween, when I settled on my story, actually. I think.

I'm writing. I'm on my seventh page, and I plan to reach at least one hundred.

Writing what? It's not November.

The challenge doesn't necessarily apply to November only. Some people do one for every month. Some people just can't make November work. The key issue is writing a novel in one month. Preferably with others. I realize that The Month is November, but for this fellow, this is his month.

Please don't eat my babies, MacGuffin.
