NaNoWriMo!

Sit down and make an outline for the stories and see what sort of elements they share or can share. Maybe take ideas from one and weave them into the other or cross over some characters. *shrug*

So, since we are only 18-ish days away from Nano starting (and since their forums have re-launched) I figured it was about time to see to it that this thread got some lovin' :)

Have you finished your story outline and chapter/event breakdown? Maybe gotten some character summaries/profiles complete?

I have a teeny bit left when it comes to my character profiles, mostly on my villain but other than that I'm good to go.
I just want to give them more depth.

How about you Utopia?

I don't have time to participate this year. There is just too much going on- work, new baby, roleplays. Basically I made the decision to focus on keeping up my roleplays here instead of NaNo. I do try to write a little bit every weekend when I have a bit of time, but I don't think I will be able to hit 50,000 words writing on just the weekends. (Well, maybe I could...but likely not.)

I will, however, support and cheer on people who are working on it. Heck, if you post sections up on the forums here, I will even cheer and constructively critique.

The longest story I have ever written landed at 13 554 words. 50 000 words seems like a lot.

I might need to add it's still a work in progress... I had planned to write some more to it but I got stuck and lost the interest.

Utopia; I'll put you down as a critic and supporter then ;D Right! I completely forgot about your baby- remember congratulating you though. How old is the sweetpea? :)

Brook; You'd be surprised :) Nano tends to bring out the competitive side in you. Plus, if you feel like you're stuck or can't get further there are sort of like word wars/prompts and a huge community of people in the same boat- more than willing to help :D
I haven't met an unfriendly nanoer yet!

I can't remember if this is against the rules, and if so I'm so sorry! But since NaNoWriMo starts TOMORROW (oh my!), I figured it'd be good to get this thread more active.

So, those that are doing Nano this year, how are you? Nervous? Not so? Pulling your hair out? And what are you writing?

Gah! I wanted to join in, but I'm a week late! So I guess I'll still write my own novel anyway~ Only I won't rush~

ahh. I thought about doing this, but... ugh, so many days late AND no ideas. lol. but i'll be here cheering everyone on~

I'm also thinking about writing something but with an exam coming up... I dont think I'll get the time.

How is everyone's novel going? Are you half way through your word count yet? After the first 25,000 the second half is a breeze.
