November will be here soon, does anyone have any ideas?

I'm sure whatever you write will be fairly awesome, Bibi :3

I'm going to write a sequel to the book I wrote for last years NaNo. I've got most of it outlined.

I am shocked that it's even fall. November? What's that...? ;)

I plan to use November to work on a YA story I started last year. Not sure if I'll reach the finish line again this year (I'm getting married in Dec. and I've got a lot of wedding related events in Nov.) but any writing is better than no writing =)

Yup! I have school and all that... theater rehersals are going to take FOREVER!

It's called their history, and yes.

Luck! Or, as we say in theater, break a leg! Are you on the adult one or young writers?

I can hardly wait! This will be my first year!!!

There's an adult NaNoWriMo and then a young writers one.

I'm on the young writer's one under the username of Dovewing.

The good part about the adult one is that no matter who you are, you can see the posts. On the young writer one, you have to be signed in.

I have no clue what I'm going to do...

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, actually, I kind of have an idea...

:)

Okay, so I want to use a story that I had started, but stopped. So what I did was took all the stuff I had previously written, which was roughly four or five pages in a notebook, and threw them in the trash. On NaNoWriMo.com it says this: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node/402737 and this: "Start from scratch. None of your own previously written prose can be included in your NaNoWriMo draft (though outlines, character sketches, and research are all fine, as are citations from other people's works)."

So if I chucked the tiny bit of writing I did do on this novel, do you think it'd be all right if I did this novel??

Okay, I'll just send 'em a Q.

Whoooot whoot! So psyched for November!

Me too!!!

I like, failed epically last year :( but I'm headstrong this year and ready!

I'll probably fail this year...but I'm ready to do so! lol

You won't fail! Just try super duper hard! What are you setting your goal as? I'm trying for 50,000

I am too, I'm not doing the Young Writers one, I'm going straight for NaNo but either way, I'm excited.

I'm doing YWP, too. The site itself is soooooo much more fun. I've spent houuuuuuuuurs on end in the forums!

I want to try for 50k but I am hoping to get more. I figure at least 2k words a day and I will be good. Here is to hoping!

I'm doing YWP. I have absolutely no idea what I'm gonna write about, though.

What's your username on there?

Elemmire.

Cool. My username is Dovewing on there.

:) Elemmire is Elvish for Eleanor.

That's interesting… LOTR elvish, Eragon elvish, or some other elvish?

Lord of the Rings. I took a camp a few years back.

Ah. I've not read LOTR.

I've read The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, and part of The Two Towers.

I do not have a plan to write with either. I am so freaked out that I am going to sit down and try to write on November 1st and go totally blank. (Who out of you all are on YWP??)

I am on the YWP

READ THE REST!!!!! i attempted to read the silmarillion, but it was kind of boring...."

I'm trying to. Currently I'm reading Little Women, Indeath, and The Name Of This Book Is Secret...

Eleanor, I requested you as a writing buddy.

OK! Hang on, do I get the request in email or on NaNoWriMo?

And we start to think about plot ideas... anyone ALREADY have theirs for November?

Yes, I do, actually.

Sorta...

I have mine all plotted out, and I'm in character development. By the time school starts, I hope to finish that and start world development. I've got a whole schedule, and everything. It's my first year, and I tend to overprepare when I'm nervous.

Wow Emily. That's pretty prepeared. Eleanor, what are you writing about?

I have an idea what to do for nanowrimo, though I'm doing it on the ywp version.

It'll be sort of a slightly fantasized and much added-to version of my life in journal format. My goal is at least 2000 words.

I have my plot played out. What i do, is have a series of events that i know i want to take place in my book, and then the rest of the words is just a transition from getting from one event to the next.

Neat.

I have so many ideas, I'm having difficulty deciding which one to do. This will be my first NaNoWriMo though I am right now working on Camp NaNoWriMo and I hadn't planned at all for this one so I really am just winging it Lol.

That's what I did last year haha.

Haa. Ya I lik winging it... kind of makes it a blast!
