NaNoWriMo 2012

[peanutter]

Are you ready, kids?

I have ideas - so many ideas - already!

I feel like I'm about to pop ...

What I'm doing this time, is almost like a "How I Met Your Mother" style thing, with each chapter being something funny, sad, happy, scary, MEMORABLE in my life. So at the moment, I have about 30 little bits of paper and post-its and similar in a pile on my coffee table, in my diary, on my desk at work jotting down events to write about ... not exactly a novel, but as I know people who have done travel journals etc, I figure writing is writing is writing ... and I'm so excited!!

Best of all it will completely fit into my blog - it will be my November hobby! Writing!

Huzzah all round!

The hardest part is going to be not letting myself start writing it before November.

But when November its, I'm guessing I will make the 50K with words to spare, because I have at least 100 events written down, and while some will be short (maybe 350 words) some will be more like 5,000 and as long as I do one event per day, I will be great.


Who is joining me this year?

What projects are people working on?

[Jellyfish]

Oh hmm! Is it really time to think about that again? I was so proud to finish this last year... time for a sequal? Or maybe I should just dedicate November to actually editing what I wrote last year since I seem so good at putting that off. Your idea sounds neat and love your excitement now I'm excited... lol.

Hope I can get my new laptop before November now!!!

[peanutter]

And so it begins.

I've done 3086 words today.

Anyone else playing?

Huzzah!!

[Jellyfish]

Oh wow I forgot hmm. Should I do it aaaah.

[Mum2twoBoys]

What is this sorry.

NaNoWriMo = national novel writing month.

Idea is to get 50,000 words down on paper in a single month. It has a huge international following.

Good luck PN. Great idea to get all that biographical stuff down.

[OceanPrincess]

Is it time already?? Wow! Can I read yours this time P?

[onthefly]

Oh I was just thinking about this today!

[peanutter]

It is indeed and yes you may.

I'll be blogging about it too.

My ideas have been condensed to thirteen pages of events in dot points.

Excited!!

I won't be participating on the nano boards but will update here and on my blog

[kiwidolly]

I'm also doing it too! Going to be a full on month!

Good luck!

6426 words

[kiwidolly]

peanutter, do you have problems accessing the Nano website? I can't load up my word count from my work computer....

[onthefly]

Well done.

0.

[peanutter]

no issues here ... I use chrome - what browser are you on?

[kiwidolly]

Chrome, guess it must be the work computer, I can get access to other websites. I can log in but it's so temperamental as to what I can or cannot view!

[peanutter]

How are people going?

I'm running a little behind, but doing quite well - up to 32,532 words so far

[kiwidolly]

Work has pretty much taken over, sitting at 15000 roughly. I don't mind as I've written so much more than I thought!

Good luck and keep up the great work!

[peanutter]

Thanks!

I'm aiming for 10-15K over the weekend, because if I don't get it mostly finished then, it's likely to not get finished at all.

Next week is looking incredibly busy on the work front ...

We'll get there!

I wonder how the others are doing ... ?
