NaNoWriMo 2013!, It's that time of year again! Options

[Colonel Mustard]

The time is upon us! The challenge of writing 50,000 words in one month, of penning 1600 words every day, has come! Loin your girds, prepare your preferred writing implement, sacrifice a goat to the Mighty Grash'Haggurack, cry havoc and let slip the dogs of writing!



Drama aside, is anybody giving NaNo a try this year? Having now loined my girds, prepared my preferred writing implement and sacrificed a goat to the Might Grash'Haggurack, I will be taking part in a kind of tangential way; I'm using it to spur me into finishing a current novel project that I've been working on for a while.

Does anyone else have any NaNo plans/ambitions? Any works they're working on at all? If so, I'm making this the thread for exchanging ideas, giving encouragement and swapping goat sacrifice tips. Because we all know that if we don't then the Mighty Grash'Haggurack will be otherwise displeased and shall rise to consume the world in madness and hellfire.

I found an official forum for rebels, so I went ahead and sacrificed my goat.

I set up daily files to keep easy track of my word count and discourage editing. We'll see how it goes. 50,000 words might produce 20,000 that I want to keep!

Rebel forum? Que?

Third one down. An official forum for folks who are participating in the spirit of the event if not following the exact rules. Writing screenplays, non-fiction, continuing works in progress, that sort of thing. Though how anyone manages to do the writing and also write about the writing is beyond me.

Huh, guess I should get on that seeing as I'm finishing a work instead of just writing from scratch.

In other news, I am writing LIKE A LITERATURE BEAST today. Probably helps that I'm hitting my novel's climax, but I've managed to get about 1000 words don in just an hour today. NaNo is one hell of a motivator.
