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.

Yay!! I'm glad to hear it. To me that's the whole point, to generate a lengthy piece of work that did not exist on Oct. 31.

I'm using the trick of writing the first sentence of the next day's part so that I have a jumping-off point. No blank screen paralysis if there's already a prompt on the page, no matter how small. I hope, lol.

Hmm, may have to borrow that trick, actually, sounds like a good one to help get things started. Cheers Grits

Also, looking forward to seeing some more Jerric appearing soon from all of this
