aggieamy Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm not ready either. I'll be typing by the seat of my pants this year.:D That's me too. I'd like to have a well defined plot but instead I think I'm just going to kill a person or two and see what happens. Um ... in my story that is. It's a murder mystery. Wow. I think I could have phrased that better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisabees Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ds11 and I are IN! We've never done it before; I have a feeling we're in for quite a ride! :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 So I had decided to revisit the plot I started to use last year, before dh's cancer diagnosis caused me to fold. I was planning to start with fresh writing, knowing I had all the outlining notes on my computer. Until last night. I forgot we had....issues.... with our technology since last November. All my notes are now floating around the house somewhere on a teeny tiny flash drive that will likely never be seen again... :glare: So I guess I've got seven days to conjure up something new. More like five, since I've got an overnight on Friday/Saturday. Wait, more like two since I am suppposed to finish a painting by Wednesday's deadline for a fundraising auction. Looks like I'll be hanging with the pantsers this time around!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 That's me too. I'd like to have a well defined plot but instead I think I'm just going to kill a person or two and see what happens. Um ... in my story that is. It's a murder mystery. Wow. I think I could have phrased that better. No, you couldn't have. Your Internal Editor is officially off duty until December 1. Don't forget it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm not ready, either. SOOOOO not ready. I checked the site last night and realized there were all these write-ins scheduled and then realized that I can't make any of them and then realized how nuts my schedule ALREADY IS and then contemplated quitting my job just for NaNo. All I know is that I want to write a story about a bipolar teen coming of age and finding her way and realizing her parents aren't as horrid as she once thought. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classical Country Mama Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 My concern is--if I'm too swamped to find time even to outline, how on EARTH can I find time for 50,000 words???? (And yet MIRACULOUSLY I can still find a way to spend hours here at the boards. Must be that crazy new math.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saille Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Ack!!! OK, I think I am going to cheat. I hate to be that way, but I scheduled a trip to see my sister Nov. 1st through 3rd, and I don't see how I'll get to write during those days. I might go for a marathon on the 31st, then not get to write those three days. That counts, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And yet MIRACULOUSLY I can still find a way to spend hours here at the boards. Must be that crazy new math.) For us, it's the crazy new video lessons we've added to our curriculum. I can post away while they're doing a lesson, but still need me there to answer questions or administer tests & quizzes. But I can't do creative writing with that many interruptions. I really need solitude to write. Staying off the general board will be my challenge in Nov. I am going to try to only allow myself to participate in nano-related threads. Unless of course I have a question that needs answering. Then you know the old sayin'.... faster than google.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephanier.1765 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 My son is over the top excited about starting his. His word count isn't 50,000 though. I doubt he'd be so excited if it was. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saille Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 OK, now I'm paranoid that everyone will think I'm a big stinky cheater if I write on Oct. 31 to make up for missing the 1st-3rd. Am I a big stinky cheater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I a big stinky cheater? While I won't think less of you, it technically is cheating. You could pretend you're in another time zone, one around the world, for a part of the day. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
