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.

hmmm now that i think of it i checked the word count on a LONG response i did to an email yesterday and was 691 words... hmmm well i know i wouldnt be any good at writing a STORY kinda thing... but if a 50000 word compilation of all new writings on little known or frequently overlooked things and or trivia to make you really THINK counted and anyone wanted to read it then i might actually take the time to do it.

I'd love to try, but with school, my current book, and writer's block I'm not sure if I can. T___T

My time would be SO much better spent working on the 3/4 finished novel that I've been working on on-and-off for years, but this could be fun... ;) An Ay-based novel...hmm... *puts on thinking cap*

A novel with a romantic (absolutely NOTexplicit) storyline between 2 male characters would not be in violation of the TOS would it? *can't see that it would be* If there would be any problems with that please let me know, and I can rethink and make one of them female. ^_^

This looks like fun. xD
I'm a huge procrastinator, though, so I'll probably get like... a chapter in and be like, "Meh, I'll get it done later." Until the time is up. >wwww>
