Someone on my friendslist pointed out yesterday that NaNoWriMo is 6 weeks away. Eek!

Now I don't know if anyone else is planning to throw themselves into that madness, but I fancied having a go at it this year - maybe it'll fall apart and I won't manage the 50,000 words, but maybe it won't. ;)

I'm very tempted. I have a novel idea simmering and this might be just the kick to get me to put words on the page.

I'm still not sure if I think you are crazy or incredibly brave for doing this ;-)

I'll go for brave for you and it would be insane if I tried it!

Debating if I should this year...

I was thinking about it, but I have the Creation Con in the beginning of Nov, and there is the trip to WV for TGiving... I have no time! :S

I did a couple of years ago - drove me insane but I did finish it. I haven't, however, re-read what I wrote and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to :)

We can be NaNo buddies.

All lunatics together? ;)

I've not done this before but it seems like the kind of masochistic thing I need to try at least once... ;)

And I have a couple of ideas but it's difficult to pick one and be sure it's got enough material in it for a novel-length story, particularly since I'm not one to pad with extraneous description and so on.

I think you were right the first time! ;)

And I'll catch up with you at some point this w/e and you can give me your opinion on my prospective ideas...

Pros and cons? You seem pretty busy...

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Excuses, excuses! ;)

What was it?

I'm making life easier for myself (I hope) by choosing one of three SG-1 stories I've been intending to write for a while and having already promised it to an editor...

Heh!

I should be on this afternoon (my time). I've got some errands to do this morning and I'm driving Hubby and neighbour's kid to their japanese class.

If not then I'll be on tomorrow morning as it's my laundry day ;-) while Hubby is teaching TaiChi.

Oh and since I don't write I won't be doing NaNo BUT I'm thinking I'll give moral support and maybe get something done by dedicating November to doing 2 or 3 vids :-)

And yes the Boston Legal one will be one of them :-)

As I'm a complete plot-whore I struggle to write anything quickly, so after weeks of debating I wrote an autobiography for a character and pretty much spent the entire month writing about a fantasy life :) It was fun at times, although a pain when I knew I had to write but couldn't get the muse to co-operate. My advice if you're going for a full story is to plot it out before hand. Write a guide, so if you get stuck you have something to work around and you don't necessarily have to write scenes in order. Good luck with it!!!

I hate being busy.

[xochiquetzl]

Yes, exactly!
