Official NaNoWriMo Post!
Oct. 22nd, 2010 05:53 pmOkay, fellow NaNoWriMo-ers, would you care to answer the following questions, just out of curiosity and so we can track each other and discuss?
Here is my profile on the site: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/203819
Username on the site:
Title of your novel:
Original or fanfiction?:
Genre:
Summary, please (whatever length you want to expand this to is fine):
--
If you're thinking about joining the fun, I highly encourage you to just take the plunge and DO IT no matter what excuses you have! It's ridiculously fun and interesting, and if you do make the 50k at the end of the month, you'll be so proud of yourself and almost certainly be back next year. I will warn you, though, DO NOT let yourself get behind! I've seen so, so many people drop out of NaNo because they let themselves get behind. Just keep to your daily number of words or more and you'll do just fine. I generally round up to 2000 words a day minimum just so I have a little cushion if I need it. Doing the usual quota of words really doesn't take that long, for me it usually only takes about forty minutes on an average day and I don't consider myself a very fast writer at all.
Another tip: Participate on the forums, and attend local write-ins! These two things will help keep you motivated. Also, find a friend to word war with if you can--it really helps to have some friendly competition.
