NaNoWriMo 2013

Post by Pandoras_Box »

I have just won with 50,529 words (well, actually, I won yesterday). For the first time in 6 years of doing it.

I can now focus on other things.

That's awesome! And a lot of words :lol

Did anyone else do any nanowrimo stuff? I had the half hearted intention to write for myself in an effort to get back into writing in general...but yeah, that didn't work XD I wrote maybe 6 paragraphs total this whole month XD

I definitely wrote 50,000 words this month.

Given how much editing I've done, I've prolly re-written 20 stories.

So yes. Yes I did.

Was told I should give it a whirl but I automatically shut down when told to do something artistic. :P

Congrats to you, Pandora!

Aye, kudos! ^__^

I think I mentioned before how I tried and failed at this, so I can definitely appreciate this success of yours. Way to go!

Congrats also to those who wrote up a storm elsewhere, and sympathies to those who took a crack at it that didn't work out. :p

Windy, could always just think of it as an excuse to sit down and try cranking out a novel? :p Maybe doing so as a communal activity? Dunno how sane it would be, but maybe a bunch of us could agree to dive into things next year.

We should all enter it with bits and pieces of our own stories, and dive into it together. xD

Could roll with that. :P No word requirement*, just whatever you've got in ya; worry about editing later. "National Novel Writing Month" becomes "UV Story Compilation-Writing Month!" Write up one story -- or however many you like -- involving UV characters (yours, or maybe even others'?**) entirely within November. Or December or whenever, if that works better. Iz an idea now floated!

* Though if we collectively get to 50,000 or anyone individually gets a bundle, fantastic! The point is to just get the words flowing.
** Others' may have restrictions on -- or even outright denial of -- their use, as stipulated by the player in question. These are all cool.

I find myself newly intrigued by the idea floated and am bumping this thread to indicate as much.

I used to try to get something like this started here so many times in past I'm a total pessimist to it actually working ^_^; I worked on another site and it was some of the most I've had writing! But yeah, pessimist now D: If others did I would stare in wonder and admiration though O.O
