Are you joining the 2010 NaNoWrMo?

Hello Everyone!

So thought I'd put this up there to see if anyone else is joining in the wriitng frenzy in November?

Also, I was wondering if you wrote last year, did you have any troubles with posting for your pcs as you attempted the 50,000 word mark?

Of course my computer has taken this opportunity to die slowly and painfully on me, so I'll see how that goes after getting it fixed this week... so I'll see you in a week!

Glitter Lives!

Yes, I'll be doing NaNoWriMo this year. In fact, we should probably start an advertisement thread on their forums since they are insanely active and fantasy is their most popular genre.

The plan for me is to write "Magic and I", a book by Vuld Shaik telling the misfortunes of a first-year class at the Royal Academy of Magic in Alahea. Of course, I barely crossed the finish line last year when I didn't have a job, so I'm not sure I can win this year, but I'm going to try anyways.

I will try this as well. But with a day job and my numerous mod and PCs to post for... we'll see how it goes.

I don't see there's any possibility I can do it this year. I'm just too swamped irl. I'd rather put my effort to catching up and finishing threads here than pouring out a 50K book.

I plan to participate this year, but I'm not sure whether I'll make it. Last year I made it three days ahead of the deadline, but nowadays I have graduation and prom and many, many other things to worry about ... We'll see how it goes. I won't write fantasy this time, but something more everyday life-inspired.

As for your question of balancing novel and Miza, I know that last year November was really quiet here. I also don't see a problem in taking it slow with posting for a month.

I've never attempted this, as I've never considered myself as a novel writing sort of person. But I'm tempted this time. I've registered so that is a start...

As for subject matter, well I think it has to be an Eanos related, perhaps something flash back related.

What I will be buying is this:

For the 20th/21st it will be on special offer of $1.99 (though I won't have internet access those days, dammit!). The authors website can be found here:

I didn't finish anything like on time last year, but it did result in An Account of the Circumnavigation of Mizahar when I finally got it done.

I plan on doing some writing this year, but I'm hoping to put together a few of Marie Sendlant's poems rather than a novel as such.

I plan on joining this year, but I don't know if I'll hit the mark since I'm so lazy. Planning on writing a fantasy novel that takes place in a world completely made up called Ahteion.

For those from Mizahar who are joining this nifty event, I have made a neat little group for us right here. I think advertising there would be great, as well. I plan on making a little thread in the appropriate forum there, and we are also allowed to advertise in our signatures.

Hope to see some of you there! <3
