NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month discussion Options

[blockhead]

We've been starting to discuss NaNoWriMo on the coffee shop thread and it seems that it might be a good idea to give it its own thread. Wow, I haven't started a thread here in ages ... since the start of my Bloodmoon fanfic.

Essentially, from November 1st to Nov 30th one writes a novel of 50,000 words. This is about 1667 words per day (consider that November is only 30 days, not 31). Emphasis is on creation, not on editing. One must disable ones "inner editor" for a month.

Rather then me blather on longer (and perhaps get it wrong) here is the site: http://www.nanowrimo.org/ and here is the FAQ section: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/basics

So I'm signed up on that site as lokken. Good luck everyone.

(I spent 16+ bucks for the "No Plot No Problem" book (yikes) , so I have to finish this now!)

For myself, I hope that this gives me the needed kick in the behind to write an original story.

It's OK. There's always next year. Have some cake:

Don't delete what you wrote. That could always be re-used and popped into some other future story (in some unexpected way).


jack: your "techno babble" was actually making sense, though hair as a heat radiator ... well, that might work but it would be silly. I've read some short stories that deal with heat produced by nano-machine implants, so that concept is also reasonable.

What do you mean "end of the week"?

to all: remember, November only has 30 days ... not 31 ... lest you miss the deadline
