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. |

Good job, mustard. I actually have a few characters killed.in my stories that I haven't posted yet. It's not that.it's fun(well, maybe a little.) It's more realistic that way if there are deaths, especially with waririors and whatnot. Mustard, post some stories here. Nao.
-------------------- And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed.
I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.” |

It's more realistic that way if there are deaths, especially with waririors and whatnot. Mustard, post some stories here. Nao. Yeah, while it does depend on the type of story it does seem more realistic to have character deaths in moments of conflict, and it does help make the sense of threat/drama feel better realised. Also, I notice that all of the characters who ended up dead in my piece were the 'warrior'-type members of the cast. Huh. And I'd write some stuff for the site but I'm in the middle of editing my soon-to-be Hugo Award-winning bestseller! Don't interrupt my flow, maaaan!
