NaNoWriMo '10

"It's that time of year again.
Is anybody going to be attempting it this year?

For anybody who doesn't know NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month and is held from November 1st - 30th and the idea is for participants to try to write a novel (well 50,000 words) in that space of time.

It's a great creative exercise though and I reckon we should all have a go and talk about it in this thread.

Yay, cool. Kind of missed it last year.

I'm signed up..and I'm pretty sure that I'll have my entry completed on 01 November 2010. If I don't then it's because I'm working that day, but I'll definitely have it up by the 2nd.

Edit: And no, I'm not cheating. I read every one of the rules and am in full compliance.

Either you're a damn quick typist or you've found a loophole

November already.....   
I usually give this a shot, although I've yet to break the 30K word mark by the 30th.  Some writers are eekers, others gushers -that's just the way of the world.  I don't think I'll find the time this year, but I will be following all your progress with eager eyes.  Good Luck!

[Stupot]

No-one else playing?
I'm gonna give it a shot.  But I don't intend on reaching anywhere near 50,000.

I'm giving it a go! Going to try writing a trashy horror novel. Good luck, Stu!

[LRH]

There's some place to sign up for this?

[Creed Malay]

Just for today, I will be your Google.

But now you owe me a lollipop.

I considered it this year, but I have too much on my plate. Good luck to anyone who tries it though!

Creed - please post yours somewhere so I can reads it, I'm sure it will be awesome.

Man, this must be the 10th year this comes and I'd love to attend again. Why does it always have to be on November. It's easily the busiest month in a Finnish students year. I'm going to have to fade out again

To be honest I don't understand the appeal of this contest. After a month of writing like this my mind would probably turn into a tabula rasa.

But perhaps that's because I'm not that keen on writing a novel in general. Can someone who participated in past editions tell me their impressions?

Heheh. Thanks

I may give it a shot.

One day I'll make it!

November is just my busiest month of the year, I once tried to do it on a different month on my one, but I failed that one too.  I need to practice more. But someday...

No, I have to skip this year too unfortunately. I wish all who are entering good luck!

That's my page if anyone's interested. I figure I should tell you all I'm in as motivation to finish, since I'd likely quit if nothing was riding on it.

[Ubel]

I started writing my entry but it's progressing crazy slow so I doubt I'll actually get the 50 000 required words done. But I'm sure it will be fun to try.

I'm already way, behind... but I'm not expecting to reach the target anyway, so this is just a bit of fun.

Did not plan to, but last night my housemate's latenight/early morning shenanigans prevented me from getting any sleep so I started. A shade under a thousand words... but all spent rambling over why a castle got its particular name. If I write 50 000 words they will all be gibberish..

[Creed Malay]

forgot to upload progress, got to write more tonights!

Like I said, I didn't technically cheat. I followed all of the rules to the letter.
