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?

General vibes are always there for you, Deb. And as soon as you know when you'll need the specific ones, just ask.
What amych said.

If I only had a brain...
NaNoWriMo is me.

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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
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.

Always Anti-fascist!
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.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The point is the commitment.
I think.
That's how I understand it, yeah. Since the idea is to set yourself a goal to write a novel in a month, they ask you to do a unique project rather than continuing something that's already in process, and they recommend that you do a more-or-less complete story. But it's not like they're checking up on your finished product.

And you shoudl be able to adjust your commitment. So figure 50K divided by 30 (1666/day), then subtract 9 days for travel, so 21 days is a goal of 35K instead.
