November is National Novel Writing Month

<< < (5/7) > >>

nicksgal:
I tried that last year for PBox. Epic fail. :D

honey:
lol. well we'll see how this goes. For me its really just about forcing myself to write my original fiction for a change. If I fail and go back to my super awesome new Brian stoy, then so be it. Maybe I'm only destined to be a fan fic writer. *there are worse things*  but I'm really gonna try hard not to get distracted by fanfic.  ;D

I just signed up at http://www.nanowrimo.org, so I have officially committed myself. lol. wish me luck. This is my first year participating and I'm afraid it's going to put my fan fic on hold next month, but I'm really excited about doing it. (I'm going to try and finish Mercy before then though.  Three/four chapters in a week and a half.  :P It'll be my warm up!)

Is anyone else an author over there?  I'm honey0023 and I need writing buddies.  :D

Gooooooooooooo O  Ashley!!!!!  I'll go add you! What are you going to work on?

honey:
Ok, November is over and I fall into that bigger category of people who didn't write a whole novel. lol.  Oh well, I still got something out of it and learned a little something about myself, so it;s all good.

I actually wrote just over 40,000 of the 50,000 word goal which means if I hadn't spent a week really sick and a week on vacation I would have easily hit the mark, I just couldn't do it all in one story. Lol I don't think I'll ever be able to limit myself to only one.

When I gave myself an assignment it started to feel like homework and I actually got all stressed out about it and wanted to write anything but the story I was supposed to be writing. So after like the first week of forcing myself to work on something I wasn't in the mood for and staring at a blank page, I said screw it and just worked on whatever. After that I didn't seem to have a problem writing at all.

I also learned that if I tell myself I can't work more than one story, my brain retaliates by throwing idea after idea at me. I had the worst case of story ADD I've ever had in my life lol!

Anyway, I  had fun, but instead of another original fiction novel, I now have like the first act to four new stories. What's a girl to do?
