NaNoWriMo 2010 - The Reckoning

Postby mechana2015 » Thu Oct 07, 2010 4:28 pm

Who's participating in the challenge this year?
Who's ready to rock and roll their keyboard for a month straight?
Who's gonna write 50,000 words (or more?)
Who's gonna kick reason to the curb and punch through the heavens with their wordcount?

I'm thinking about it, actually. It will really depend on what my schedule looks like over the course of the next few weeks.

I've heard of this before, and I've thought of doing it before, but it looks so intense... I may try it!

I will have a lot of school work but I'm still doing it. My story is going to be inspired by sheer insanity with nothing planned this year. Should be fun.

I utterly bombed NaNo last year, and I'm in college this year so I'm busier, but I might try. XD Not sure what I'd write my novel about, though.

Unfortunately, I'm absolutely flattened by busy-ness, what with college applications and all that kind of thing, so I won't be able to participate this year :waah!: I was really hoping to do it again, because I didn't finish the story last year even though I got 50,000 words!

It took me six years to get 50,000 words on my own story, which still isn't finished. So I really don't think I'd be able to do this...

Good luck everyone. I'd like to actually try this one year, but November is just never a good time--as it is I'll be lucky if I don't lose my mind next month without piling 50,000 words on top.

School work this term says no.

I will try to put a little work into editing my story from last year into something readable, though. I haven't even looked at it since December 1st.....

I'm debating whether or not I should try this year. Last year I was really busy with school, and it was kind of stressful to add this to it. So I was thinking might not do it this year.

But then I realized I have less of a work load this year... so we'll see. I'm leaning towards doing it more and more.

I don't think we can officially make a CAA region on it, but this thread is essentially the CAA region anyways.

The smallest region is 4 writers... we have more than 10.
