NaNoWriMo 2008

Who's in?
During Script Frenzy of last year I finished my first book, so I'm going to write the second book in the series for nanowrimo. The idea is to sell them to a publisher as incentive that I've already gotten one written.

We'll see how it goes.

Awesome!

You're doing better than most writers. You're writing! =)

I still have to put my adventure involving Bluecross and 60's counterculture icons to paper.

i'm planning on it again this year. writing more fairy tales to ruin. my only problem is that i have three major papers due in november

I just finished a book. Leave me out of this.

*nods*

I shall try, though last years effort was pretty sad.

mine was pretty pathetic last year too! but i'm sort of writing a novel already. maybe i will use this nanowrimo as an excuse to finish it. i already have 50ish pages. and a good outline. can i still play?

also! wow syl! you are quoting me in your sig line. i feel witty!  :idea:

They've said before they don't really care. The purpose of the event is really just to get something finished in a certain amount of time. The required wordcount is really more like a "novella" than a novel, because they want it to be legally qualified as a novel but probably not be something publishable within a month. Just get it all on paper and then edit it later. I was doing pretty well last year but then that book hit a brick wall because major plot points rested on stuff I needed to research (biblical history and Jewish "mythology"), so by the time I got out of the library and the turkey sweats wore off from thanksgiving, it was over.

I'm psyched though, I've got one book down and another on it's way.

Also NO: Are you talking about the home business one or did you finish another?

weee, got the first invite for our Calgary meet up today. It's this Saturday!   Now all I need is an idea and a character to run around and do stuff in that idea!

Eh?  WHAT?  SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Another. Called "Do the Web Write". About website copywriting, setup (like how many pages, what order should they be in, etc.) Basically, it's a book about website conversion (turning visitors into someone who takes an action), and general writing too

Expect a copy of that to be bought by me when it comes out. I have a few people at work that NEED to read that.

I believe I'm going to try and do it for once instead of just saying I'm going too. We'll see if I stick to it once November comes round.

Last year I was very excited about NaNoWriMo and I failed utterly!  THIS YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT

Write about someone writing about NaNoWriMo but something (ominous music starts) happens...
