I'm going to attempt it for the first time. I honestly had never heard it before, but 100 pages is a lot lolol, it's intimidating.

I agree my man, I can't write 5 words without my brain sizzling like some bacon

I suffer from hardcore writers block the further I get into a story, so that's fun

s a m e. like i had this story going with a good three chapters and then bam i couldn't think of another word to write

I H A T E that so much

Lol.

Lol deez nuts

I've done NaNo like…three or four times? Done 50,000 words once, but I've gotta go back to that story eventually and completely start over since I had zero (0) plot structure, so all 50,000 words (like 120 pages) is basically just the three main characters wandering around in a forest and randomly discovering things about each other. It's boring as hell.

But idk if i can do it this year, simply because of ~time~

I'm going to be kinda participating I guess?
I'm using NaNoWriMo as the excuse to finalize my draft, and hopefully get a solid outline on the next two parts/books. I have so many plotholes already >.>

I might not participate because my work ethic is shit, but I'll probably read y'all's work .u.

You should at least give a shot. The worst that can happen is you don't finish. And you can do what Katastrophe is doing and not actually write a novel but like a draft or somethin' ( •̀ᴗ•́ )و ̑̑

Ok character from naruto whose name i cant spell pfp

Pfft.

I think I might end up writing a book but in podcast form, becuase I'm a podcaster but not very good at actual writing. Does that sound like,,, okay for nawrimo?

^ I don't see why not. I've always used it for writing stories but I've heard of people using it to write scripts for plays and stuff like that.

Yuh.

Yes. You're what they call a "rebel". They're welcome and appreciated.

I've done NaNoWriMo for 5 years, but the first year I did the little kid version that's like 15,000 words. Every year I make the same mistake, I don't plan out what I'm going to do, so this time I have it all planed out.
This year I am writing the first book in my as of now unnamed trilogy but the first book is called "Building of Peace"
We are going to be following Cador the Eldest of the Senvien Royal family. Our Instigating event is the Kings assassination. It's going to be focused on the issues that the assassination causes, the war mongering, and over all weakening of the government that happens. We're going to slide in some Family drama, because this boy is 19, and has two younger sisters Lily and Azizia. Some betrayal for flavor, a bit of scandal for spice, a kidnapping for tension, a bit of romance for word count. It's going to be a bit of a slow burn as far as books go very character driven so I'm spending the final day's of prep fleshing out characters outlining arcs and so on.

instead of an entire new project, i may just take my current existing project(which some of you have probably heard me talk about, considering how constantly it and the characters get mentioned) and just…actually start writing, using nano as inspo

Same plan. I think there's a writing competition coming up near me, so I might try and write a short little snippet for that.

D: you better!

I've been meaning to do this for ages, but my ideas were never fully thought out until now. I've just finished the first chapter in my story and I plan on using NaNoWriMo as motivation to keep at it. We'll have to see where it goes though, as I ended up scrapping the entire outline I had before (I made it too detailed and didn't leave enough breathing space for creativity ^^;) I hope fanfiction counts, because that's what I'm doing this year. I heard it's good practice, and I came to realize people are more likely to read something if it's already part of an existing franchise, something they're already familiar with.

Lol kinda regret writing chapter one before November, because that would've been 5,000 words off the bat

I'm participating for the first time, but I haven't set any goals for sure yet…… maybe a few thousand words? a couple more chapters?
