| Who else is NaNoing? For those of us who haven't prepared (i.e., outlined, noted, etc), sometimes just talking about the story can get our muses going. I was wondering if folk around here were wanting to talk NaNo... |

*waves* doing it here. I'm writing an offshoot to my fanfic Eternal that is not quite done itself but close to it.

I am doing the Nano this year, some said its my Magnum Opus, but Celegorm begs to differ because it is all about Maglor  He thinks if that is the case, it should be about him. Am at 22% of the end score (just above 11k) and this thing is going to be epic. You give a Fëanorian one finger.... I am sticking to the word plot panda *nods*

For those of us not in the no could someone describe what's going on? I mean, thanks to Rhapsody, I presume that NaNo is National Novel, but how does one participate and how did you find out about it?

NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month
http://www.nanowrimo.org
Basically, somebody has decided that (a) it's physically possible to pen 50,000 words (i.e., novel length) in one month and (b) November is as good a month as any. So every November, NaNo gears up. The object is to write those 50,000 words, and if you do you "win." It's a great kick in the pants for writers like me, who have no self-discipline. Also, it encourages writers to get the story out, to write it down, without editing inline. All that editing stuff can (and probably should always) come after the story itself exists on paper (or bytes).
I've done NaNo I don't know how many years now, and I've never actually "won." But it has been a lovely exercise. |

Once more, with feeling.
Am viv on the NaNo site, if anybody's hanging out for a buddy (and if the site ever loads). |

Would have done it if they allowed partnerships. Would have done double the word count but heh...
