Hey!!! I'm going to try again. I know it's 2 months away, but I'm working on my plot now for something new. I'm hoping that by doing a little more prep work this time around, that I'll have better results. Anybody else already working on their project?

Kourtney King (googreadscomkourtney_king) | 16 comments Not yet, but I plan to plot out my duology and then type it out during Nanowrimo. Good luck Michelle, maybe this can turn into a progress thread for those working towards a word count for a manuscript. #accountabilityteam

Still in the thinking stage, will try to plot out before November. More prep on the front end will save me the hours of editing that I am still working on from years before. I have done Nano the past 3 years, winning 2013 and 2015. Good luck Michelle and everyone considering Nanowrimo.

Who's excited?!! I know I am. I have a plot board that that I've been working on, and I think I'm more prepared at this point than I've ever been.

I finally spent time learning Scrivener, so I am also more prepared than I have been in the past. Looking forward to beginning.

I feel the same way. This year I plan to work of a cozy mystery.

What's everybody else working on?

Camilla Stevens (camilla_stevens) | 44 comments I've got a suspense coming. It was the very first book I ever thought about writing when I decided to do romance. Lots of international intrigue.

scrivener was sooo hard for me to learn! If you have a Macbook I'd suggest Vellum. It's so easy to use and makes it look good. Plus the KNEP page reads are insane.

Thanks, no MAC. My computer is a Linux. I use open source programs. I had to allow the time to go through the tutorial. Now Scrivener makes sense to me.

I went to a Scrivener workshop recently. I need to work through a tutorial or two to really get more comfortable with it.

Kim (kimgm) | 1032 comments I'm on Day 3 of NaNoWriMo and sharing what I am writing on Wattpad and my author site. I've been writing everything in Scrivener. I even outlined in Scrivener. :)

Camilla Stevens (camilla_stevens) | 44 comments I'm finishing up a book now (Argh!) It looks like it will be a half NaNoWriMo for me dears. Can she do it? Let's find out!


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

You can do it! Great news on the new book! Can't wait!

Kim (kimgm) | 1032 comments I won't be winning this year. Some health issues popped up at the beginning of the month and the medicine I've been taking makes me very sleepy. It's been hard to concentrate but I managed to get to 37K. There is no way I will be able to get to 50K, but I will still continue to work on the story. I should be done with chapter 7 by tonight and then will move on to the rest of the story.
