Anybody else trying? (http://www.nanowrimo.org/)
-
I did 30k in October. Gonna push for 50k more in NaNo proper. Need a novel to sell when my short stories (hopefully) win the Dells this year and publishers go gaga (that's totally going to happen guys.)
-
Hey, I'd totally pay for your novels, Bat. FARTs be damned, I'd be happy to give you my money!
-
Never have, probably never will. No interest in publishing anyways. :P

Yes, sure it will. More shrooms?

**** is your issue, nooblycaeks? I've worked my way up to second place over the past couple years. First isn't an outside shot. Just the selling a manuscript as a result of that is, but it's not gonna hurt my chances.

/me purchases said 'shrooms for Battuta and S-99.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was joking around. I personally support you though Battuta, as much as I disagree with you sometimes, denying the fact you're an extremely capable writer would just be being a dick.
This NaNoWriMo thing sounds interesting; may do it for the fun of it. :D
-
I've always wanted to try this. Perhaps now I'll give it a legit shot. Helm, engage randomspace drives.
-
Same here. But I sorta lack concepts that I can expand to novel size.
-
Is it a bad thing that the only Dell I know of is a computer? :p

...................(thx, i feel better now.)

I do this every year and it is such a BAD IDEA
-
I had a great idea back in December for a novel. But now 11 months later I think it's stupid and I can't write about it, so I'm still stuck at just about 82 words. :(
-
All right, you little nooblets, how are you doing?
I'm just ahead of the curve. Still on target to make it.
-
nnngh deads... can't find time... FRAK. FRAKKING FRAKKER FRAKKER FRAK.

I won yesterday.
-
NaNoWriMo is a huge conspiracy to slow down my writing. I haven't gotten 5k words done this month.
-
I won yesterday.
Elaborate to receive commendation/condemnation.
-
From memory, winning is simply (or not so simply) meeting the word count.
-
To win you need to hit 50,000 words in the month, which is the goal of NaNoWriMo. I did it in 2/3rds of the alloted time!

Congratulations Authortutta.
You are hereby awarded the HLP Meritorious Verbosity Commendation

Wear it proudly!
This is why I'm no longer into writing myself, because 1. I sucked, and 2. it sucks you in... and keeps you like a parasite.
-
Thank you, kind sirs.
I will hopefully try to sell the manuscript, since I've made enough of a positive impact in previous forays into publishing to know that my work is at or nearly at pro grade.
-
ugh
Crisis of confidence, stuck in a single scene for a few days.
-
i couldnt write to save my ass.

ngtm1r tell me what to doooooooooo

In my case, I would switch subjects, as I'm running two separate stories at the moment. (Alternately, radical genre shift for a chapter.)
In your case, however, I can only recommend generic panicking and running around in small circles while waving your arms, because I haven't got a clue what you've got going.
-
It's just too ****ing long. 80k and I'm like one paragraph into the outline. Nothing over 100k will ever sell as a first novel. :(
-
We should totally switch. I write too stripped-down if anything.

I envy that. It's a much more valuable skill than you'd think (or actually you might well know how valuable it is, but it's still super valuable.)
I'm not an overwriter, per se, but I'm too infatuated with my own prose and not spare enough in deploying it.
