Anyone else doing Nanowrimo?

What's your plan?

I'm doing a series of stories - some for submission, some for you guys, more or less ;-)

I have a cover:

;-)

And a wordcount plan:



Whee~

Edited to add: PLUS write & address one Christmas card or buy/make one Christmas present (or one hour of a christmas Present) per at-home (not on vacation) day.

I don't think I have significant wordcount in me this year.

What I do have is a friend who had such a horrible experience co-MLing last year that out of solidarity I'd skip it, or at least keep quiet about it online, even if I was in a writing mood.

mew.

RE writing, I hope I can at least finish the drabbles I'd planned to write in April this year. :P

You are more ambitious than me! But only a little.

My plan is to write the twice-weekly Chatoyant College updates, plus a 50k novel (I hope I can get the whole thing in during NaNo), taking me to at least 57,200 words. I'm using the spreadsheet you linked to on Twitter to tell me when I'm on track!

Do you expect to not be able to write on the blank days?

Well, it doesn't have a title yet and it's not in any of my existing worlds, but yes, I've been planning it! It's a YA dystopia with psychic powers.

Well... the people who have the psychic powers are genetic/breeding experiments, so yes ;)

Ooh, sure!

Also, I just remembered that in my notes for the main (human) antagonist, I wrote "I mean, she’s no Cya—obviously, or it would be a much shorter book with a different ending." So yes ;)

Planning on doing it, even though it's been a couple years since I've done it properly. I'm starting a new novel and everything! Just aiming for the standard 50k right now, though I might also try to get some short pieces written.

Kind of lazily, it's a novel-length retelling of a legend from a fantasy world I've already written two books in. So I know pretty much how it goes, though we'll see what happens when I try to expand it into 50,000 words!

The things I want to add to during November

I am not expecting to add a whole lot to everything but I am hoping that I will add at least 5K to each thing I've got, and more on some things. We'll see how it goes.

I've got story binders to work on this month and hopefully I will get a good spreadsheet or something to poke at in the next few days so I can have wordcount organized, we'll see.

I'm also not including any of the words I do for work which will be another 30k in total, so yeah. I'm gonna be a busy thing this month.
