NaNoWriMo Anyone?!
IS ANYONE HERE DOING NANOWRIMO?
For any sad person who does not know, NaNoWriMo is an acronym for National Novel Writing Month.
You must write a 50,000 word novel before the end of November.
I'm doing it! Is anyone else? I suggest it to anyone and everyone! Except now it's a little late in the month.
I need to get to writing - but if anyone is doing it, post your stats here, what you're writing about and I'll paste your name up on the list for who's writing in it!
So far I've done 13,189 words, I'm 26% of the way there! AND I NEED ALL THE MORAL SUPPORT I CAN GET BECAUSE I THINK I MIGHT DIE.

It's really intense and I'm dying. Up to 13,000 words! Hope I can win! Questions or comments, just ask or visit the NaNo site!
NaNoWriMo.org
Over 900 million are doing NaNo!

One month to right a 50,000 word novel! I could only wright about 1000 words a day without wrighting about random stuff with incorrect grammar.

Hehe, it's hard. But you can't let your inner editor get to you. Just write. I have to write 2173 words per day.

I did that last year. I got about 10,000 words in and fell flat in terms of creativity.
It's still cool you participated. I finally finished for tonight, but I might write a little more. I'm 26% of the way there. Yay me!
I suggest trying it again - but this time, brag about it so when you want to quit, you feel humiliated, so you don't! That worked for me! I think I'm going to die - so many words. Not to mention my novel is about death XD
It's pretty fun and pretty cool. There are 900 million people doing it and it's cool to be part of something like that!

Lol. I convinced my sister to start it half way through November. 4000+ words a day on top of school.

Re: NaNoWriMo Anyone?!
I don't think I could write a whole novel. 
Nice job!

Re: NaNoWriMo Anyone?!
It is not an acronym if you have part words in it
The acronym would be NNWM
But whatever
And this thing is pretty old

Re: NaNoWriMo Anyone?!
I've never heard of it, and it's probably too late to start right now
Is this like a one a year thing?

Re: NaNoWriMo Anyone?!
The longest story I ever wrote was only a 1,800 word short story. I could never write 50,000.
I'm back, and showcasing two new* projects! Click left or right on the image below to see!
