That's kinda it. Write 50k words in one month. It's remarkably uncomplicated.

You don't have any project you've been dying to write but don't have the motivation to?

I haven't heard much about Big Hero 6. I don't know if it will be good.

Yeah i was going to continue my medieval fantasy idea, but the plot changed so it kinda needs a re-write.

Yet this Rp has like, 4 worlds/communities, loads of characters and separate plots, and there's 3 of us posting daily. It's got Egyptian, Medieval, Rogue/dysotopian world, and then atlantis in the skies, a steampunk world xD

Should easily give me enough to attempt 50k, i'll just copy and paste all my posts in to word then count em up =3

The previews looks good plus it look's like it will be funny. its base off of a Marvel comic of the same name. but they change the title character name,as well his age. I got a chance last week to hear the song immortals by fall out boy. it's a pretty cool song got great beat to it.

well i've got quite a few... but i figured they need more planning. like the mystery novel i would like to write some day. i'm still trying to figure out the characters. and how to write a mystery in general.

I've got the skies of arcadia inspired story i want to write. it's a bit religious. aka hell and heaven are in it, but now what you expect. it's a typical princess story involved. so blah blah there. I was still developing characters...


but.. are you saying just right it and edit the names and such later to fit the plot better later?

I mean the one I REALLY want to work on is a co story i'm working on with my friend. we're working on finishing work on that in the next five years to get the first book published.

I mean...just write. Yeah, if you don't have names, make them up on the fly or leave blanks. Things I need to research like city names just get written in like [city].

i guess i'm just silly for wanting to research so much before I write..

example my warriors i want to look up the fighting styles and research it to describe it right.

I normally do some research beforehand, more in the middle, then the last bits at the end. If it's something small like just a name, I'll add it later. Better yet, let's just write about things we know! XD Ah but, I was gonna do a bit of research for my nano story tonight still. I want to know where in Germany my character is from.

I guess there's no rule saying you can;t, i certainly don't mind, not sure about the other two xD

It's basically just warring nations, we could probably make it go forever to be honest xD

We post often enough to show up in new posts so i suppose anybody could spy, i used to read one of her other roleplays lawl, so it was nice to be asked to roleplay with her, then her original partner showed up again so she's just joined in with the steampunk plot yay!

But all the best stories end! :O That's what makes them great.

I'll take a look at it though I don't read very often.

This!

I'm the same, thats why i don't want to go back to my medieval fantasy story. I have so much world and character building to do before i feel ready to attempt it again. It just got out of control and my characters kept changing and my directions were off when i read it back.

So i figured i'd use some of the characters in my roleplay and see what i'm comfortable with while it slowly gets built. Maybe by next years Nano i'll be ready :P

haha, i struggle with the emotional side of it, showing how the character is feeling right as they cast it. I just end up writing short sentences about whats happening and repeating the same words over and over. My vocabulary is a lot smaller than i thought, it seems D=

Off to the dictionary i gooooo xD

aw, oh no. But sometimes it's just fine to focus on all action in those moments and skip over the feeling. Especially if you're just repeating yourself. But what do I know. I don't really know your story's situation.
My vocab is only recently increasing because I realized how stagnate my word choice was. A thesaurus is beeeettter~

Just us talking about writing, Star.

Yay! I found the perfect little German town to be my character's hometown, and then they move to Potsdam. Muahahaha!! So tired though. I'm done researching. Night ya'll.
