I love the concept of nanowrimo. Funny storylet, is that one of our writers group, Melissa, pinged a group email asking if anyone else was doing it, and I said shit, I can't, I'm in the middle of two novels already. So I'm a-pass-a-deena on it. And was promptly laughed it. I'm in a period of hyperextended creativity and diggin' it.
BTW, no idea when Ruth and Jenn are going to get on the phone and hammer out the series deal, so I can't ask for specific timing vibes. Just general would be great....
(edit: fucking buggy-assed crap - I'm still getting the error message every post. Back to PF I go...)
General vibes are always there for you, Deb. And as soon as you know when you'll need the specific ones, just ask.
WRT nanowrimo, found out yesterday that my best local meatspace friend is doing it too -- it was one of those "oh god, this might sound silly to you, but I'm doing this
thing"
conversations.
I'd be signing up, but I'm struggling to finish up my
Due South
Body Swap story. Maybe if I get the first draft done by 11/1?
Am Chau, my lj pseud is sophiap. I'd love to be added to your filter. Right now, I'm trying to let my brain pick out a couple of interesting ideas to try for NaNoWriMo.
Everyone's doing NaNoWriMo!
And I have a concept for a novel and 2000 words written.
But but but I'm away for 9 days during November. And then there's the holidays, and my houseguest...
I dunno, seems unlikely.
No NaNoWriMo here. Like deb, too busy with ongoing projects. Also, I don't think I could complete a plot in 50,000 words to save my life.
I'm still not sure I can write them...but I'll try. Fic is gonna get the short end though...although maybe not. it's more fun when it's Bad and Wrong, anyway.
Also, I don't think I could complete a plot in 50,000 words to save my life.
That's sort of the point. You write the 50,000. That's all you're on the hook for. If you need to write more to complete the book, that's fine. The point is the commitment.
I think.
