    Default NaNoWriMo

    Who is doing it this month?

    I'm doing it for the first time, and I'm way excited! I thought it'd be good to see who is and who isn't, and then keep encouraging each other etc.

    Haha I'm so excited for it. My friends at uni are doing it as well and so yeah, I'm really looking forward to it.

    So i've said the same thing three times now... Hmmm....


    Yeah

    It's the perfect NaNoWriMo approach! XD

    Seriously, though. I always seem to be too catastrophically busy to participate when it rolls around, but I admire anyone who takes a shot at it. 50K words in a month is a tough task, so for those of you who try it, stay diligent! You can do it. ^_^

    November is my exam cramming month... oh, who am I kidding? I don't have a novel I want to write. But I admire everyone who goes for it! Good luck!

    I really want to do it, but I just don't see it happening. Work, exams, going back home to see the family for 5 days ... I'd get distracted.

    Good luck, guys who do it. I'll be watching both jealously and un-jealously from afar!

    I won last year and tried in 2006 as well, but now I'm doing my own personal spin on it, with a goal of increasing the total word count of Morphic and The Quest for the Legends by at least 50,000 words in November. Don't know if I'll manage it, but I need a motivational boost when I'm facing five battle-centered chapters in a row.
    The Quest for the Legends

    Chapter seventy-seven, THE END, up!

    Also check out the spin-off, Scyther's Story, as well as its sequel, The Fall of a Leader.

    Winner of six 2008 Silver Pencils, including Best Fiction Overall and Best Plot
    Now concluded with chapter fourteen!

    I'm going to try, although with me busy this month, not sure if I'll even get to 25,000k. Eh, at least I'll participate. XD

    Good luck, everyone!

    I'm going to use the month to 'spur' me into activity, although being that I'm already behind I doubt I'll meet the 50,000. (especially since my thesis is also writing a play... which will demand a lot of my time. @_@)

    Oh well, I'm confident I can get about 30,000 done at least. xD
