Insane

Wed Nov 4, 2009, 8:43 PM
That is what I am...really. I was browsing my favorite fanfiction archive when I noticed that one of the mods brought up this event that takes place during November: National Novel Writing Month. There's a whole site dedicated to it and everything.

What you do is you sign up on the site on the first of November, and by the thirtieth, before midnight, you're supposed to submit a full-length novel of roughly 175 pages and 50,000 words (or more) in length. Then you win...hooray. It teaches you all about just getting yourself to WRITE for the sake of WRITING and not being so nitpicky and particular about certain things.

I thought about it for a while and decided that...I was going to do it. I mean, it's already four days into November, so I'm a bit behind and I'm not sure I can finish it in time. I really hope I can because it would be so awesome! I'm going to write the "novel" on the comic I'm working on - the Stolen Summer thing I mentioned before. I have the characters and the plot in mind, so it's just getting down and writing out the story that's doing me in. This should help me a lot once I actually get down and draw it...hum...

I started tonight and I've already got well over a thousand words. xD I really hope that by writing like crazy I can achieve my goal and submit this in by the thirtieth; it's just a huge accomplishment. I think I'm going to put this as a top priority and take a break this month and focus solely on this. I do have other writing projects but they'll have to wait. DX

A-anyway...I just thought that was interesting. Wish me luck! c:

My train of thought: Ashley furniture commercial -> dinner tables -> water damage to our table -> tablecloths -> trick where you pull out tablecloths -> my classmate is a magician.

:iconyoshijaz:
oh, wow... good luck with that. I did it last year, but didn't get anywhere near the 50k words. I also started this year, but am so way far behind, that I've just resigned myself to the fact that I won't win again this year. -.- I wish you tons of luck, though! Add me on the nanowrimo site! Its just yoshijaz, like here.
