It's a real thing now!!! *subscribes*
|
Yep! I know I've been promising to make this thread for about three months, but here we go!
|
yay nano prep time!!!!!!
|
I started my prep today as well as making this thread [yes]
|
I don't know what I will do for nano this time around though I've recently had some inspiration and created a bunch of new characters.
|
Oooh exciting. I'm just doing the second draft of the novel I wrote last NaNo.
|
I'm afraid I won't have any inspiration if I don't start writing now though.
|
Oh here we are~
I am continuing my NaNo adventure again. |
Are you still writing the same story you've been doing forever, rette?
|
Erm... yes. Unfortunately.
Had it been like forever? maybe it is because I had been mentioning it for a lot of times? x.x *phailz* It is at 275k... T__T It is going to be 2/3 of the plot that I set out. |
Well it's the only story I remember you talking about so maybe a bit.
But that's so ungodly long I don't know what to say. |
I... think.
Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings have more words than I do. *blames* XD |
I checked out the prep tools one and am going to try to start world building for one of the stories that I want to try to expand on.
|
As a series or individual books? I know lotr has a high word count though. The later hp books too more than the early ones.
|
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the same length (97k) as my first draft.
|
i can link you guys to the FIRST EVER draft ... aka. first draft of a little writing exercise i did.. with the characters and story and world i'm about to develop more. if you want i mean...
i don't know if you can post in it anymore though cause its been a long time... |
Shadamimi, I just had finished ranting about my world building over the other thread, and you bring it back up, picking my itch. XD Oooo, someone have a finish draft! *goes over to suck some luck*
Bearzyzy~ oh, now are we using any similar length book to represent our word count now? >.< Cause it is very interesting and fun to do. lol. Dakuu~ I haven't really divide it into series. :/ It just depends on how the total word count come out of and the final word count would only be confirmed after first edit. That is like a loooong, long way ahead. So far, the plot cards that I have laid out were merely the first 'excite' point I want the characters to achieve. I do have other excite points if I want to continue it. See the horror now? I am annoyed at myself too. |
its just a draft to a short story i entered into some competition. i think i took 2nd or third place. i forget which. i know it wasn't first. xD
My goal : The Beka Cooper Series by Tamora Pierce. That's the size I want. xD |
That's a good size Shad. Nice and chunky but not so long it drags out.
|
Or using the weight of books to estimate word count goals?
*still throwing out wild ideas for irrelevant measly detail* |
People judge books on weirder things [lol]
Oh and hey everyone if you wanna post the details for yourself I'll update the post I pinged you all to. |
