Who is up for it this year?

I'm doing it again


Who is joining me this year?

What projects are people working on?

[Ladylove]

I need to do it. I've had a novel idling in the wings since I conceived DD.

What are you working on Peanutter?

[Jellyfish]

I want to... been a while since my last one...

[peanutter]

Join in!! Join in!!

I actually woke up from a crazy dream I'm still piecing together but which I think might work really well as a young adult novella ... A little sci fi which is totally not my standard thing but I'm feeling quite inspired!!

You two?

[Ladylove]

I'm sort of extending and combining two short stories into a novel. One I wrote a few years ago and the second is new but there's lots of shared, recurring themes.

[peanutter]

Itchy typing fingers ...

November yet?

[Ladylove]

I've already started so technically I won't be participating fairly but my aim is to have it finished by end of November!

[Ladylove]

Ok so what are we reading right now to inspire and get us into tip top writing mode? I'm reading Alain de Botton's Religion for Atheists and Alex Miller's Journey to the Stone Country. Have mixed reviews about the latter so far. He knows how to tell a story but sometimes the writing style bores me.

[peanutter]

I'm reading chick lit - Chasing Harry Winston.

[Jellyfish]

So anybody started??

[peanutter]

I'm plod plod plodding along.

I'm at a conference this weekend, so I don't know what I'll get to when the bell tolls, but I'm tentatively hopeful ...

[Amity]

I'm hopefully going to finish my first novel by the end of the month

[peanutter]

I'm tossing up whether to start a new piece I have had spring into mind in the past week, or whether to do a collection I've been ruminating over since last year ...

Decisions decisions ...

Either way, I want to start this weekend.

[Jellyfish]

Trying to get a good head start. Especially since Blizzcon is next week and that will take up some of my free time watching lol.

So far my "head start" is 187 words. Guess it is a start.

[onthefly]

I've decided I'm going to try. 50,000 is a lot to get through in one month, though :/
I've started 4 books, (sort of) finished one so far. Hopefully they'll get better as I go along.

[peanutter]

Good work!!

[onthefly]

How'd you go guys?
I got to 101k yesterday. Still going, trying to finish this bastard.

[Ladylove]

OMG it's November already! I'm in, but not starting from scratch.
