http://wriging.com/notes/ Wriging Thread: Anyone interested in NaNoWriMo? en Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:56:49 +0000 http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-96353 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:19:23 peroty 96353 <p>My roommate is busy clicking her novel as I peruse 9rules. She's about 7,000 words in and shooting for 2,000 a day to make the goal and leave herself some wiggle room at the end.</p> <p>I don't do novels. So it's not for me. But I think it's a really neat idea. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-96352 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:19:16 Kamigoroshi 96352 <p>I never have time to join because this is the time I'm always busy with my final exams. Maybe next year. Always next year, preferably when I don't have to deal with exams again for the rest of my life. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-96310 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 03:58:06 joshawesome 96310 <p>If anyone wants to add me as a writing buddy, here's my <a href="http://www.nanowrimo.org/user/253470">profile</a>.</p> <p>I decided to do it after all. Writing a novel has always been a goal of mine. I figure it's now...or later. I don't want to say never. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-93820 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 20:42:24 Batman 93820 <p>I did the screenplay version of this with a writing partner in June, and we're <a href="http://whoisthewatchmaker.blogspot.com/">currently seeking financing for it.</a> I may cheat and do a screenplay again, or do the novelization of the idea, as I haven't decided if I'm going to participate yet.... </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-91434 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 18:36:09 LorriM 91434 <p>I will do it again this year...my third time. </p> <p>I keep my work private, as it needs an extreme amount of editing, because I am writing the content in order to finish the 50K wordcount. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-91381 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:30:07 cdevroe 91381 <p>If anyone here wants some information on how they can participate with video - yesterday <a href="http://blog.viddler.com/cdevroe/nanowrimo/">I featured NaNoWriMo</a> on Viddler since there is a growing community of WriMos using it over there.</p> <p>Can't wait to see what happens in November! </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-91306 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 06:05:05 pelf 91306 <p>I wished I had time to do this, but no, I don't. I have barely enough time to blog-hop these days! :( </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-91279 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 04:22:38 chris 91279 <p>@lisa: Yeah, I've been missing from IRC for a few months. I have Twitter, which is basically just a public AIM for me, lol </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-91255 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 02:35:04 Josh 91255 <p>I attempted NaNoWriMo last year when I was taking 3 classes, and fell woefully short of the 50,000 word count needed. I'm not even going to bother trying this year, while taking 5 classes and working some at the library. :) I do, however, salute those of you who are giving it a whirl. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-91248 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 01:54:38 lisa 91248 <p>Chris, I wish you had time to write blog posts too! Or even just time to chat in IRC (granted, that would require me to be in the room as well). </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89743 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 12:25:01 chris 89743 <p>Shit, I wish I had time to write blog posts, nevermind novels. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89721 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 09:56:40 lisa 89721 <p>I've done it the last couple years, and I tend to keep it private, too. I might post really awesome scenes that I thought were brilliant, but by and large the majority of stuff that comes out during NaNo really isn't fit for public consumption.</p> <p>And Abi, I might have to do NaBloMoPo a try to, even if it's just a post saying that I hit my word goal for the day. Thank god for the non-9rules livejournal account where I post random junk. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89687 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:23:19 inadvertentgardener 89687 <p>I kept all my writing private both years that I participated, Scrivs. And trust me...while I was pleased to participate, the work I did requires some massive revision...it was not ready for the public at all... </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89682 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 08:13:09 Abi 89682 <p>For a second year, <a href="http://heateatreview.com">HeatEatReview.com</a> will participate in <a href="http://nablopomo.com">NaBloPoMo</a> (aka National Blog Posting Month). It is a reasonable alternative to the pain and suffering that NaNoWriMo inflicts on friends and family.</p> <p>I say that now. Just wait until it is mid-November and I'm going crazy from writing about Lean Cuisine every day. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89637 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 06:54:22 joshawesome 89637 <p>Scrivs, I'd say there are quite a few people who make their work public, although I'm not sure if most do. You can browse through the profiles or just do a google search and you'll find a lot of people's sites. </p> <p>If I do decide to participate, I'll probably be making my work public in a separate blog of some sort. I'm still on the fence about it though so we'll see. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89632 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 06:45:01 Scrivs 89632 <p>For the people that usually participate do they make it a public thing or do they keep their writing private to the end? What I mean is do people post their daily writings on a site to everyone to keep up with or not? I think that would be interesting. I think it would be cool to write a novel, but I was never good at fleshing out a whole story in my head due to the lack of patience I possess. </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89551 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:17:44 joshawesome 89551 <p>Apparently you are roping me into it :) </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89550 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:17:38 inadvertentgardener 89550 <p>Lisa, I highly encourage you to do it (as well as any other 9rules folks who want to) -- it's an amazing sense of accomplishment to make it happen. I did it two years in a row -- 2005 and 2006 -- but I think I'm going to skip out on it this year. I have another book project I want to work on, and if I can take the time to do NaNoWriMo, I figure, I can take the time to finish that book project and do what I want to do with that. So...maybe I'll get back to the event next year? </p> <p>Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind between now and November 1. </p> <p>:-) </p> http://wriging.com/writing/notes/8037/p/1/#response-89528 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 01:51:22 lisa 89528 <p>Is anyone planning to participate in National Novel Writing Month in November?</p> <p>My roommate, another friend, and I are all planning on writing a (bad) novel in a month, and I was wondering if any 9rules are going to attempt it as well?</p> <p>I always need encouragement, and people harassing me to actually get any writing done, and I thought we could all encourage each other, and help sound out ideas to get through our writing.</p> <p>Any takers? </p>
