Anyone else frantically wake up and realize today was the start of NaNoWriMo and you're not ready? Cuz I did

realized it was nanowrimo like five minutes ago- not sure what I should set my word count at because I've been not writing for a while-

AAAAH this reminded me 😭 I almost forgot completely
I'm not at all ready either I'm gonna spend half the month planning damn it

@Dayzed forum

I think I'll shoot for 500-1000ish a day. I think that's a neat ballpark.

I think I might also shoot for this, but since I kind of already do that, maybe 2k? We'll see.

@im-with-stoopid pets

Yeah, I was thinking maybe I'll split the difference at 750 a day, but sometimes the words don't word, and other times you're typing so much you forgot what time it was and that you should probably have dinner by now-
So for me, minimum 500, ideally 750, and I'll try to chill out at 1000 unless I'm on a spree or something

I have all these half baked characters and ideas that would be good to use for NaNoWriMo but plot n conflict is always so hard to figure out
What are yall going to write abt?

I think one of the only things stopping me from writing a novel every month is when the words don't word. I'll spend half an hour going down a thesaurus.com rabbit hole

I've been doing a ton of worldbuilding and not a lot of writing for my main project, so I'll probably work on that
My main concern is figuring out the formatting- not sure if I want it to be like an actual story, or if I'll write it in a series of excerpts

A character/rp/game concept which I do have an actual plot for! One of many thats been bouncing in my head for a while.

@im-with-stoopid pets

Legit have notebook (like actual paper) pages dedicated to words I think sound cool

Some examples:

  • Kinchin
  • Acrimonious
  • Beleaguer
  • Soporific
  • Ludibry
  • Sonorous
  • Vitriol
  • Avarice

And so many more-

Absolutely addicted to those English vocabulary books- just waiting for the time that I can use the word "sepulchral"

I thought I knew good words and synonyms. This has taught me that theres apparently a whole new tier of uniquely fabulous words I have yet to learn.
