Last year i got introduced to NaNoWriMo, joined got started and got such a bad case of writers block near the end that I missed the deadline by a couple of thousand words.

This year I'm joining again. It was good fun and in a way you really learn form it.
Now I know there are quite a few talented writers on this more. Way more talented than I am and I was wondering if anybody else is joining in. We could start some sort of a support thread to cheer each other on?

It really is great fun and a good challenge! (And let's face it, it does distract from RB withdrawal :haha: )

Let's go for it! I'm hoping to be able to do it this year - last year I found out about it too late.

My daughter entered NaNoWriMo last year. She missed her goal, but had a lot of fun. She started a club at her school called the Young Readers and Writers Club and they all signed up for NaNoWriMo.

I keep saying I'll do it after I finish my current project. I've been writing a story for almost three years now and it takes up most of my spare time. :p

So tonight I actually had a minute to browse the site and I'm really confused. Can I use fanfiction (hello, write 50K about Sam and Andy?) If anyone has an answer, please let me know!

MAN is that tempting. But I think I've got enough on my plate right now. Maybe next year.

Here I was thinking you would be a shoo-in, writing those Marathon stories :D

I'm not going to go for fan fiction though...

*L* If I could enter something I'd already written, I'd do it. But I think I should concentrate on getting SC done and hopefully some day publishing the first chapter of The Witness. I write too slow *L*

Plus, this will give me time to plan for next year so I can bust out something really quick.
Although I was thinking about starting something new...hmmmm.

Aw, come on!

I started without a plan last year, decided I'd do it on Oct. 30th... And I only just didn't make it (missed 2450 words) and that was with a sick child, a refurbishment and a relationship crisis going on :D

So, you can do it, if I can...

What happens to the story in the end? I scanned the website, but didn't really figure it out.

I kept mine private, so it's hidden... I don't know what happens to stories that are published...

I think that when it is "published" you have a choice about what to do.

I sent an email to them about something else and when I got a response, I decided to ask them exactly what happens when the story is complete:

"So! When you hit 50,000 words, your counter will change to display that you are a winner! However, we don't ever actually publish your story on our site, even if you win. We do offer a free proof copy of your novel through CreateSpace, which you can then share with anyone you wish, but otherwise, we stick to our guns on privacy in order to safeguard your hard work as much as possible."


Of course now that I have all these papers the goal of 50,000 words just got a lot harder but who knows!

I'd love to, but I just don't think I can do it. I looked back at some of my projects and even some of my longer stories that took around a month to write I was only half way there. With the exception of my long, never ending story...but even the section I'm currently working on is only 43, 000 words and I've been working on that for four months. Yeah, I just don't have the time.

I'll cheer you guys on instead. :cheer:

Yah, I'm getting nervous now! The thing starts in a little over 8 hours for me. No pressure!

Done the maths and if I get to write every day, I'll have to write 1700 words at the least daily to make it.

I have decided that this year I will be editing AFTER I have finished the story. Cause that's were it went wrong last year. I edited during the writing. It kept delaying me. So perfection after I have finished it sounds more like a plan to me!

Ahhh... don't hate me but I really don't think I have the time to do this. I'll never finish the three I'm currently working on. And I'm on a deadline for one of them. next year. I promise.

I'm itching to start now that I have an idea for a story. I think this is the first time ever that I started writing an outline because I feel the urge to start and outlines are allowed.
