Anybody else taking part? FYI, www.nanowrimo.org is about writing 50k or one entire first draft within the month of November. That's why it's sheer madness. I've not written 2k in a day in more than a year, I think. That was the 3rd quarter of last year, when I wrote and rewrote 2k a day. I think that's why I'm crazy now and decided to do NaNo. But I'll feel better if somebody else decides to join me? My CPs are not doing NaNo as far as I know--one of them because she's already done BIAW (Book In A Week  ). |

Book in a week?! That'd have to be a seriously short book... or else she'd have to work very long hours! Sadly can't do NaNo this year - but next year I'll happily join the madness!  |

I don't know. I write long and I write slow.
And she did it on her own! Without the support of a crit/writing group. I'm amazed!

I guess the idea is to get the bulk of a story down. I think it's a great way to do it if you can sustain it.

Does this novel have to make sense? Because if it does not, I can make one up right now. Hell, here's a sample: "Jake and Josh were going down the street in a mo-ped when suddenly, a gang of Jumper Hoopsters called Tom's Wallagans tackled them onto the sidewalk where Mr.Handson was killed by a tomatoe. 'Holy Bloody Hell!' Jake yelled out as his cohort was pinned to the ground by a giant rabbit. 'Hell is where your going for stealing my ice cream cone!' The Rabbit with the nosering said. He was about to place a Carrot Grenade in Josh's pants when SuperToilet came by and swallowed up the Tom's Wallagans gang." Oh yeah, I can go on and on, baby.   |

Nah, it doesn't. LOL. But you know, it's going to be a month wasted if you do that.
For a moment I thought you were serious. LOL.

I can have that done with two straight days and a whole lot of empty bottles and cans of Bush's Best Beans. ;D If I were to create something, it'd have to be one hell of an original tale. I'll just watch all these movies(Sci-Fi, Fantasy, some Classics, etc.), talk to a few of my friends(Since they love to do crazy stuff and talk about things they're friends or family do), and then throw them in a mind-blender. Add a little seasoning and an urge to make it work and then PRESTO! Instant classic. ... But really, that Jake and Josh tale could work. Who knows what world they are in! ;D |
