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.

Then that´s what he has to do cause I have no idea what NaNoProMoLowRide is It's National Novel Writing Month; every November for the last 10 years or so there's been a challenge to write 50,000 words in a single month. There's more info on the official website if you're interested. Now go and sacrifice your goat, dammit.

Kayla's story? Canon? Hahaha. Imagine all of our stories canon. That would be the day. We can only hope.

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.”

QUOTE(Grits @ Nov 1 2013, 08:00 PM) QUOTE(Colonel Mustard @ Nov 1 2013, 12:24 PM) 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.

Just hit the 50,000 word mark on my novel; UNSTOPPABLE LITERATURE BEAST!! (Yes, I know it's cheating to start with 44,000 words already written. Be quiet). Also, for those interested, my writing profile can be found here. Add me as a buddy and I shall add you and we shall be bestest of fwiends forever. And it's totally not a cunning plan to get a sneak peak at what you're writing next, H.E.R.

Aaaand that's why they have the rebel forum on Nanowrimo. For the benefit of others, Nanowrimo can be used to power through that thorny last bit of that unfinished masterpiece - just keep your November word count separate from the rest of that novel.

And it's totally not a cunning plan to get a sneak peak at what you're writing next, H.E.R.Ummm, you might be disappointed, as I haven't yet put anything up on my profile. In other NNWM news: I went off to my first write-in at the local Panera's. We did two word sprints and I fired off 1400 words between the two sprints. Came back home with a total count of 1749 words so far today. Pretty good, but short of my daily goal of 2,000. Still, I didn't write yesterday, so I have a lot of catching up to do!
