*kicks schoolwork*

I bet you guys $10 that I'll have written over 50K this month, but not a word of it will go towards my novel.

Lilith W 11-12-2008 06:03 PM

I have not tried that out yet Nightgaunt. I will have to check it out.

@Sho- I don't think I would do very good in the summer. I would spend to much time napping.

@Knerd- Oh I'm sure you will. Just like I am sure I will too.
Between school, work, and here I type a lot.

xuvrette 11-12-2008 06:14 PM

Write or Die... wow, I like the impact it create!
I googled it but which link is it?

Sho-Shonojo 11-12-2008 07:33 PM

I did not see that NightGaunt, where was that?

Knerd, I would not go against you on that bet. Odds are you would win yourself ten bucks.

Lilith, :)

Hey everyone!
how's it going for ya?
creative juices flowing?
working hard?
or are you like me and hardly working lol
i swear i sit down to write but then life gets in the way and next thing i know the month is almost half over >< ah well- i've decided to take pride in what little i have done lol

Nightgaunt 11-12-2008 10:22 PM

I hope it's ok to link this since it's a writing tool and not another site:
Write...or DIE
It's right here. I actually added it to my bookmarks tab because I've been so productive with it. I'm a little over 24 thousand words as of a few minutes ago. If I really pushed it, I could probably hit 25k, but since I already threw my entire arm out in my last mega-marathon, I'm trying not to hurt myself again. :oops:

Sorry Knerd, I can't imagine trying to do Nano in school. @_X
It's been weird enough with the amount of computer work I do. :/

God can you imagine the chaos if we had a mini version of Nano, just for Mene? XD *shot* That would get really crazy.

hello, I am here ^_^ hehe. Sorry for not posting sooner; I got busy with a write-in and then ... work O_o ... egh ... I am trying to stay caught up .. I really don't want to fall behind :( ...

Hmm, would anyone be interested in something like that?

November can be a tough month for some people to write. I've heard of a lot of people getting together in January or March to do the same challenge.

If I were to set up a Menewsha Novel Writing Month, would anyone keep up with it in their blogs?

xuvrette 11-13-2008 07:30 AM

Support Nightgauntgaunt~~!
Mene version of writing month!

Nightgaunt 11-13-2008 10:46 AM

I'd be willing to give it a go. <:)
I do think a different month than November would be good, I know a lot of stuff goes on at this time for people, especially school work. I think it could be fun!

xuvrette 11-13-2008 04:31 PM

I think every month should be writing month. XD just the participant to choose which month they want to join? XD lol.

Sho-Shonojo 11-13-2008 04:59 PM

I think it would a lot of fun to do a NaNo-like event on Menewsha. It would really help me a lot because, other then November, I don't get a lot of writing done. I have stuff I need to write, but it goes no where until November rolls around.

Knerd 11-13-2008 11:48 PM

I'd be more than happy to set up a Nations thread and a writing challenge for Mene.

Come the end of the month, we'll see how many people want to keep up with it. :yes:

Nightgaunt 11-14-2008 12:19 AM

@[email protected] Wooohooooooo. I just passed the midway mark! I feel like I might make it! *dances with people*

^_^ that would be cool, Knerd. :D It would be neat if we could get people participating. :D

Knerd 11-14-2008 12:26 AM

Congratulations! That's awesome.

Lilith W 11-14-2008 01:19 AM

That sounds like that would be a lot of fun Knerd.
I would love to join a NaNoWriMo on here and a different month would be perfect.

a_shy_girl_1999 11-14-2008 02:22 AM

I would love to particapate in something like that. I think it would be fun!

Tsubasa Rose 11-14-2008 02:42 AM

I agree that another month - event would be great.
I know personally that November is a horrible month- school work/stress wise

Sho-Shonojo 11-14-2008 04:24 PM

I just need to rant my frustrations for a little bit. My novel is not cooperating with me! I've barely shelled out two pages in each of the past few days and I'm afraid to think that I might be 5,000 words behind. My plot wholes are stopping me up and just this morning, while I was trying to go to bed I thought of a way to rewrite half of what I've got to fix it. Now I want to slap myself because I know I should plunge forward instead of backward. I don't think I've ever so much trouble writing a novel before! In other news I've got projects for all my classes due next week that I got to get working on and I just bought a new video game that I would love to spend all my time playing. It's sooo tempting.

OK....I think I feel a little better now. I just have to clean the house and then I can spend the rest of the day writing. I will catch up!!!

Knerd 11-14-2008 04:40 PM

Edit later! Spend December editing your novel and going back to fix all the problems. Don't bother worrying about any of that stuff now - Just keep on writing.

The sooner you finish, the sooner you can go back and evaluate your work. :yes:

xuvrette 11-14-2008 04:43 PM

Though it will be a good idea to keep note of what you want to edit later. XD

Sho-Shonojo 11-14-2008 07:17 PM

I'm planning on writing some notes down on some index cards and just throwing them in my notebook for later. Don't worry, I'm gonna keep going!

xuvrette 11-14-2008 11:01 PM

I am always annoyed trying to find previous details of earlier happening in earlier chapters a pain. XD especially I pick up continuing the story after a loooooong time.

Lilith W 11-15-2008 02:45 AM

You can still catch up don't worry.
And I know I have made mistakes. I keep calling people the wrong gender and among other things. But everything can be fixed later. And if by fixed we have to cut off the last ten pages or gut the entire middle that is fine. Because we don't have to worry about that untill later ^^

Sho-Shonojo 11-15-2008 04:36 AM

My big problem for remembering is names. If there is a minor character who made a short entrance and is supposed to come back later, I usually don't remember their name and it's a pain to find them.

Oh I know about cutting off the last view pages. I had to do that to my novel last year since it was just crap thrown in to get it done on time. :D
