NaNoWriMo Support Group discussion

Guess what! We're into the first week of NaNo! OMG *gasp* This is insane!!

Tell me what are you guys writing, how are you writing it, and how is writing going so far this month!

I'm writing a book called Frost, which is the first in a series about the Norse myths around Jack Frost, Father Frost, Niflehiem, and the other realms of winter and heat :)
Writing is going awesome! In 5 days I've gotten to 15k :D

Oh that sounds fascinating Tabi.

As of last night (Nov. 8) I am somehow 30K into my novel that started out as a friend's webcomic about a genetic anomaly where people start turning into animals and their trials and tribulations. I have no idea how I've been able to do 30K already considering my struggles with previous NaNos but I'm not complaining.

Wow! Yeah def no complaints about word count ever haha! That sounds like a very intriguing story!

It is! We've got four, possibly five seasons at least planned so it might turn into a pentology.

Nice!!! :D I love it when my stories just flow, even to the other books :)

How is everyone doing in NaNo so far?

I'm at 40k so far ;) you?

almost to 37k =P

Nice! :D

I'm finished :)

yay!!

That's awesome Emily! :D

Hey, guys!

Hi everyone, Dennis here. As you can guess I'm new to this wonderful group. I've got a couple Nanowrimo events under my belt, most recently April's camp nano. Delighted to get to know you all. =D

Hi Dennis! I've never done Camp Nano. What is it (like)?

Same as any other Nanowrimo event, expect it's a bit more relaxed with a flexible word count goal. I managed to hit a lofty 75k words myself this time.

Ahh. I wish I could do both. I have a hard enough time doing one! Congratulations!

Hello! I am a two time NaNo-er and was looking for a writing/book group to share my experience with.

How's everybody doing? Anyone participating in Camp in July?

I was going to participate in July, even had it on my calendar, and still missed it somehow! (shakes head at herself.)

But I am planning on Nanowrimo this year. I am beginning to mull, and hoping to get a good idea for something new soon, so I can actually be prepared this year.

I have failed miserably every year since I started, and believe it's mainly because I'm not prepared with outlines, turns and twists, etc. I'm a pantser, and that doesn't work out. I cringe at all the unfinished stories and ideas on my computer, much less starting a new one :).

Here's to getting a good idea soon :).
