For those of you who don't know, November is National Novel Writing Month, aka NaNoWritMo. Writers from all over attempt to start and finish a novel within these short 30 days. It's crazy. It's wonderful. It's something that I can not do! (Although, I may turn it into NaFiDisMo, aka National Finish my Dissertation Month...wait, wasn't that supposed to be August? :/ )
Anyway, I want to give a shout out to anyone attempting this crazy task. If you plan on doing it, make a comment telling me about your project (if you're participating in forums, feel free to share the link). Or, tell me about a time you've done this in the past. Did it work? Were you able to finish? How exhausting was it?
I'd love to know. Even though I can't participate this year, I think it's something I might like to try in the future. :D
For now, I'll sit on the sidelines and cheer everyone else on. Write, write, write!
I'm doing Nano this year. I love it - this will be my 7th try (I've won each year I've tried). One of my nano stories was published - Woman of Honor.
ReplyDeleteThis year, I'm going to write about a YA called Crystal's Magic.
Crystal has always lived a strange life. Whenever she really wants something and prays for it, it happens. Always. When she finds a note from her dead mother, she realizes there's a lot to her birth that isn't natural. She seeks out the witches her mother begged to help her conceive a child - her - as she struggles to learn who she is and what she can become.
Cool! It sounds like you've had a lot of success with it so far. Good luck on Crystal's Magic!
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing NaNo. I tried one year and got exactly 1337 words in. It was about a girl who discovers all her favorite fictional characters were real. I got the idea from how anime fangirls act as if the characters exist.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like me right now. Even if I wanted to try for it, I'm sure I'd have exactly zero time to do it. Interesting idea though. Did you ever go further with it after NaNo?
ReplyDeleteNice post thanks for ssharing
