National Novel Writing Month. A bunch of crazy people all get together and try to write 50 000 words over one month. I needed to hit 10k by last midnight to be on par but I'm only at 6k right now. Still, it's a good showing for me. This is my first year trying it. It's much bigger than I thought, with regional representatives, merchandise, and deals with publishing houses, software developers etc, for participants and winners.

I'm being what is dubbed a NaNo Rebel, as I'm working on a memoir instead of a novel.

That sounds very interesting :D! I wish you good luck with your memoir then :3.

Wow...remind me to do that next year (trying to write about 1-2k of words a day...)

It certainly is a rather interesting challenge :3.

I could probably make the time to do so, but I'm not particularly good at keeping a steady pace.

Sitting at 7k for now, which puts me in a good position for when I wake up. Is bed time now.

@Espy: I lose interest in my hobbies far too easy to keep on writing until I reach 50k words xD. Still, I might actually try it sometime, I guess...

@Quiet: That's good to hear :D! If you keep it up you might actually finish before the month is even over :3.

I am not doing that this year.... I tried with a friend my sophomore year and we basically didn't sleep.

o.O It was that bad...? Then again, 1 month isn't that much time to begin with ^^;.

In college november is busy so that plus 50K words.... it gets pretty bad.

Oh boy. Time to haul my ass out to AbPsych...and today's lecture is in particular trigger-warning-ish.

Hello everyone. Trick or Treat. :D

I'm still not able to get on and post for more than a couple minutes.

Trick or treat! Because I don't get to do this door to door anymore. ;)

For 50k in one month you only need to write 1700 words a day, but that's a lot for someone like me. I'm at 7k total right now, which puts me on track for 30k if I keep going at the same rate. I doubt I'll make the 50k, which is a little discouraging, but this is the most I've ever done before and I do want to get something substantial out of this, even if all I do is get a few personal copies made for posterity and forget actual publishing. Memoirs are something of a minefield since they involve family and such that may not like what one is writing.

Trick or treat!

I've never even gotten close to the 50k for NaNoWriMo. ._. I just don't have time to write that much everyday. Maybe once I'm done with college?

Gauis I hear you! I got to 40K and was excited about how much I wrote while doing term papers on top of it. A thousand words a night was my typical with an extra thousand every weekend day.

I was pissed off with what I wrote last night but I feel better about things today. Still considering switching projects though, once I can find something to switch to.

Trick or treat. :)

Gosh, Tiva, that's amazing. Good for you! I wish I had half of your determination. ._.

Trick or Treat!

Thanks but I had other people who i was writing with. We motivated each other.

Trick or treat! Again! XD How is everyone doing?

Aww, cool. It has been a long time since I wrote with anybody else. It does help though. :)

I've never co-wrote with anyone before...

TRICK OR TREAT! I keep forgetting about this.

I have one friend that I met online who I used to write with a lot. We used to come up with the silliest stories. All of our stuff was really strange and twisted and sometimes pretty stupid but always very imaginative! ^^

Trick or treat? (I think I can do it again... it's technically Monday now in my time zone. :P)

Trick or treat
I'll need to look for a friend to do that with sometime, then...

I've been having a lot of fun with my memoir-thing for NaNo. I've only tried to collab once and we never got very far. It was with a friend who I have since moved away from, and he keeps getting a new cell phone or new email every few months so I've lost how to get in contact with him again. I'll be visiting this Christmas though so maybe we can get chatting again.

trick or treat :]

how is everyone?

*eating candy*

Trick or Treat!

Hi, Ath!
*Pounces like a puppy*

Writing can take a lot if you rely on another person why we did 2 stories and switched back and forth between nights. I worked on A one night while he did B.

-is totally pounced- Hi there!

I've been doing a bit of writing recently myself. I haven't tried to do anything with another person though.

Ah, that's a good idea! If we ever do it again, I'll suggest we try alternating like that. Then neither of us will be kept waiting on the other. We actually had two stories we were working on too, haha.

Trick or treat again? I have no idea what day it is anymore! /flails

Trick or Treat!
I have a ton of stuff to do...

I have been busy playing events on other sites and dealing with real life stuff like overtime at work and my car being in the shop. So, I am really behind in the event.

I say Trick or Treat!

One last time because I feel kinda bad for all the stuff Ulti will have to sift through then they get back.

Oh! It's a game here.

Trick or treat!

Trick or treat! :3

Trick or Treat!

Tricksy Treats!
Yep, it's a game.

I'm really sorry guys. ... I haven't been on in a while and um. I kinda went broke-ish ^^;;

I can give you all a few lanterns still. But ... I would need to sift through a LOT of posts x.x
