Pull My Devil Trigger Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I have no idea what that is, but I also want a cookie, what option should I pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 The cookie option of course! I may want to explain: NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. It's a challenge hosted every November in which the goal is to write a 50,000 word novel (or at least 50,000 words of something) by November 30th.

Zerker Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 No. Writing is painful for me. Besides simple stuff like these posts, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Devil Trigger Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The cookie it is, then ^^ I'm not a writer, so no, I won't even consider participating. By the way, where exactly is this happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vashiane Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 There's a website for it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeDusk Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 No. Writing is painful for me. I want a cookie so I'll be picking the cookie option. Do I have a say in what cookie I receive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Devil Trigger Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Looks really interesting, but as I already said , I'm no writer, mainly because this also applies to me: No. Writing is painful for me. Besides simple stuff like these posts, of course. So, when do I get my cookie? :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If they made, say, July NaNoWriMo I'd totally be on board. But this November may be one of the busiest months of my life so far so, um, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 One of my friends does NaNoWriMo, and she's written quite a bit of awesome stories from it. Me, I tried to do a NaNoWriMo in July and failed. I'm going to be too busy to write any fiction, so ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airship Canon Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I could probably do it, but no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Poet Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) I think I'll look into and consider it. I've yet to work on any independent writing projects this November so far, but it sounds interesting enough that I could be moved to begin now.

Fruity Insanity Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Heard of people who tried it... but never got into it myself. I'm afraid writing isn't one of my stronger areas. Stupid writer's block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ButteredToast Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Sounds awesome. I'm gonna try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 50000 words is a lot to do in a month, especially when cluttered with school work and video games. I'd really love to try this, but I need to focus in school. How long exactly is 50000 words approximately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButteredToast Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 50000 words is a lot to do in a month, especially when cluttered with school work and video games. I'd really love to try this, but I need to focus in school. How long exactly is 50000 words approximately? If you were to divide 50,000 by the number of days in November (which is 30) then you end up with about 1,667 words per day. Depending on how well you can write, this is a piece of cake. Of course, school is top priority (as you pointed out). So if you were to dedicate some time with this while finishing up with whatever you need to do, this is plausible to succeed in :) Good luck if you're participating :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Very roughly, it's 100 pages in a word processor, I think. That really depends on how dense your paragraphs are, though. I do recall at one point seeing that I had ~500 words on a page, but I don't recall how dialogue-heavy that was. Mind you, some writers can churn out 10,000 (unedited) words a day, and then there's me who is usually sitting at more like 3-5,000 a week when school is happening.

Baldrick Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 It's one of those things I've always wanted to try, but never had the time/motivation to actually do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
