Last year's thread


artist
I have decided that Akyu should be the patron of the NaNoWriMo threads.

Currently, 23 days left 'till the start of November. (Again, as last year and the year before that, if you want to post your story in PSL, just put [NaNoWriMo] in the subject for ease of organizing.) That seems like a lot, but it's a short amount of time for brainstorming and figuring out what ideas to write, and to write outlines and plot notes.

50k words in 30 days? Sign me up for a slice of that suffering pie. And I don't even have an idea yet!
Who else is in for another go-around this year?

Going to go for the 3rd win in a row.

On top of my thesis.

I think I've got this, yeah. I think so.

Here me

This year I plan to do something a little less (more?) serious, unfortunately as much as I wanted to stray away from fantasy/sci-fi influenced elements, SAO has decided to punt my head and give me some additional ideas to try and integrate into this year's novel.

Yes, by all means, link your profiles here. That way we can all be writing buddies and keep an eye out on how far Trance is outpacing everyone else. Jealousy is a powerful motivator!

I tried last year but then my computer died a sad death. I still have the little I did write though since we save the hard drive.

I figure I'll try again this year, and I already kind of have an idea. A 20 page paper for a class needs to be done for late November too though so.../sigh/

I was hashing out the idea I was thinking of with a friend and I came to the realization that I dislike the idea rather intensely!  Now I'm stuck trying to come up with something again :ohdear:

With my nightmare of a job about to end, I'm suddenly gonna need something to do when not trudging through the snow looking for new employment opportunities. So, after skipping last year, I will be returning to the front lines. I even have  a good idea of what I want to write. No, it won't be a sick and twisted gore-fest this time.

Bildungsroman about a school newspaper group, and a super cynical boy who discovers the joys of the world.

Oh, crap.  I have an idea.  An idea that is shaping up to be suspiciously similar to a Dresden book.  (Detective noir with a side of magic.)

This is not necessarily a bad thing.  (Though I once again curse my lack of originality :( )

Had an idea.  Then realised a few days ago that it was really stupid and discarded it.  So now I have no idea.

...I am still going to do this, though.  This year will be the one, I just know it!

Still trying to piece together my next robot idea.

I'll probably give up a week and a half into November again, but I'll make an effort, at least.
