NaNoWriMo?

[pasithea]

Anyone planning to do NaNoWriMo or know anyone that's planning to do it? I'm sorta thinking about trying it but also that I need a positive peer circle if I'm doing it.

I considered doing it this time, but the current book would slap me around like a cheap hooker for cheating on her (not to mention what the birds would do to me lol). I'll likely be doing an "internal Nano-nanu" and trying to keep pace with the contest's page count to boost my determination on the current project. Not the same thing, I know, but gotta find fuel for the fire where you can.

Nah. I totally think that counts. The whole idea is just to share energy with other writers and build off one another.

All right, it's a deal then lol. I'll make my goal 50k words on the book. With a little luck and some work before November starts I might actually be able to get the bloody thing done in that timespan (although there's no way I'm limiting myself to 100k on the first book, the story would suffer, no matter what Stackpole says). No edits, no rewords, no seven hours trying to figure out one guy's name (I've done that before; I dig the names I finally do come up with but damned if it isn't the hardest part of writing for me).

That'll leave December for editting and maybe, with a little luck, I will finish the bloody thing a year after truly starting it.
