NaNoWriMo 2010

Contests


OH GOD IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN
WHEN NONE OF US GET ANY SLEEP...


That's write!* It's time for NaNoWriMo 2010!

What is NaNoWriMo? It is National Novel Writing Month. This is when you spend all of November torturing yourself! HOW, YOU ASK? By writing a 50,000-word novel in one month! Sounds fun, write?* Essentially you write 1,667 words a day and you're GOLD!

There's a NaNo board that magically appeared in the Creativity forum to help put on the peer pressure to finish your work. ^_^

There are even some cool prizes for writing your beast, just to incentivize you (as if peer pressure wasn't enough, psh).



So, go prepare yourself for this month of mental torture, writing mayhem, and complete awesomeness. Believe me, there's no better feeling than OH GOD IT'S NOVEMBER 30TH I STILL HAVE 5,000 WORDS TO WRITE then finishing on time, and you're like...hey... I have a novel in this Microsoft Word document. Holy crap.

Pretty awesome, sir.

BRIIIIIIIIIBES! That is what I have needed all this time to make myself WIN it. I came so close one year with 38,000 words. I've needed a good incentive. Bwahaha, win. Thank you so much, Aywas. I am totally psyched about this NaNo now.

Haha. I wish I could do this, since I love writing and have the imagination, but I have my final year project and dissertation to do, so i'm out. Good luck to everyone else trying though!

The writing is easy, it's the writing stuff that makes sense at least to you that's hard XD

Well, this will be my first time attempting the NaNoWriMo. I'm terrified and excited! Look forward to pressuring my motivation on the boards this month!
