It's the event where you have to write 50 000 words in one month (november)

all the FAQs are there.

I'm keen, but it'll be over exams. oh well.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

every time this comes around i tell myself i'll do it and i never do. i might actually give it a shot this year in between exams. hey its not like i'll have much else to do for the rest of the month

 

[Ennaybur]

motivate each other? how does it sound?

lol I'm the same

 

[yosemite sam]

i think i'm going to. not sure why, but i'll have nothing better to do.

How about over the summer holidays?

 

[Tulipa]

Did it last year for poetry cause I'm cool.

Might do it to finish my novella this year

I've never written anything over 3000 words to be honest. The idea of writing 50,000 is mind-blowingly inconceivable over a year let alone a month.

 

[Ennaybur]

it doesn't have to be any good at all.. in fact it doesnt even need to have a plot really.

some people have been published, or gone onto rework their writing into something good, but seriously it's just to get the words.

check out the site... it's pretty informative.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

yeah i love how it doesnt actually have to be good, takes the pressure off. most of what i write is utter crap until i edit the hell out of it like 300 times...then it becomes just mildly crap but hey, it's fun.

 

[yosemite sam]

mine will definitely end up being a pile of rambling, random shit. but it will be awesome rambling shit. editted into not so crap.

 

[AK Sevitus]

I'm already registered! Yeah, I'm doing it ^_^

I've written before, but never 50 000 words in a month! It won't be high quality, but its good for getting a lot down, and I can use it as a rough draft...

And yes, a third of it is through exams. I'll be so pushed for time, its not fair!

 

[Ennaybur]

anyone started?

 

[ObjectsInSpace]

I'd do it, but the first two weeks are at the same time as uni exams.

So as much as I love writing, no. I won't be playing this year.

 

[Ennaybur]

200 words woo

off to work. I'd like to get like 5000 until exams are over, then properly try

 

[Tulipa]

Got 4000 words at the moment.

So I can afford to take the weekend off I'll probably falter later on but it's full steam ahead right now.

It's a great procrasinator.

 

[Ennaybur]

uh jealous

did you have a plan?

Is anyone else going into this blind?

 

[Tulipa]

I'm working on a novella that I planned out this semester for a class. It's sort of cheating because I've been working on the idea for three months but eh, I doubt I'd ever finish it if it weren't for NaNo.
