November is National Novel Writing Month!!!!

I'm not doing it right now, but my fiance is. I tried, got writer's block, and well ... you know. I won't be writing a novel, but I will be writing a script for a TV pilot that I hope my partner can sell. I'll buy you all cookies if it does.

Either way, thought there would be some here who would like to know. It's already week 2, but even if you can't hit 50k words, you can still take advantage of the motivation and inspiration going around.

Yeah, I remember when this seemed like a possible dream. :drunk:

These days I dream about completing a sentence. :-/

November is National I Have A Ton of Papers Month.
Some other time. Though I really usually don't need any sort of external motivation for writing.

Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

Ya, I always think its a great idea, but november is around midterms (one last week, two today, one week after next, several a couple weeks ago).

So I never really get a chance, one year though!

It was kind of strange choice of months. I kind of did my own NaNoWriMo in August, though. Much easier to make it fit the schedule.

I am :D

Well, trying to, anyway. I got a little bit of a late start, so I'm way behind on the word count. I type fast, but of course that's not the only limiting factor...

I tried this two years ago and got about 6000 words into a very silly story about pan-dimensional beings invading Victorian England... and then got distracted by schoolwork.  And realized that Gaiman's "A Study in Emerald" had done the concept better than I could, anyway (I got Fragile Things as a present about a month later...).

Aww crap. I completely forgot about this. Well, a late start's still a start. Heigh ho!
