For those who don't know, NaNoWriMo (or National Novel Writing Month) is the chance for you to spend a month in a writing frenzy along with others, if you so wish, frantically trying to make the word count. You can find more info here.
This is my third year, the first year I failed, and last year I worked on a collection of short stories. This year I'm going for the full novel, I've got a general idea of what I'm doing.

Please, don't forget one of the golden rules, do not post your fiction here. Maggots await you.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10305&Focus=313430#Comment_313430 2011-10-24T14:57:43-07:00 2013-05-26T00:51:50-07:00 RenThing http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=155

Like last year, I will be participating. Hopefully this year's work isn't so dog-vomit bad (although it did restart my daily writing regime and that's what I hope to have happen this year).

Did really well 2009: 75k or so long Fantasy novel that grew spontaneously from a series of unused titles (used as chapter titles/plot generator of sorts that later got abandoned when the story went in its own direction). Threw it at a friend willing to do some free proofreading (he's native English speaker and a teacher, I'm not) but it's been going verrrrryyy sloooowlyyy (mostly cause I picked up tons of bad grammar habits but also because he's doing a lot of this kind of thing for work so I can't imagine he's all that happy to do it in his spare time too).
2010 was a disaster. I tried to redo a "never-gonna-happen" sci-fi graphic novel project (too long and too complicated for me to draw it) into a novel, got stuck at around 1k words when I realized... I DON'T KNOW THE NECESSARY ENGLISH TERMINOLOGY FOR MOST OF THE CONCEPTS I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT!! (not a problem with Fantasy, heh).

So will I do it this year? I hope so!

With an hour and a half to spare I easily crossed the finish line. Interesting that the website thinks my novel was 50,049 words long but Word counts it as 50,083. I wonder what the difference is.

@Dorvyn Save files in DropBox and work from there, or otherwise work off of a flash drive. Additionally, set your autosave to something like every five minutes and you shouldn't have any issues.

This years, as opposed to last years, is good enough of a base to start from but needs pretty much an entire rewrite. Writing this version exposed a bunch of plot issues that need to be addressed and that I need to get a better grasp on the characters. However, I think it's got some potential so once I finish the two shorts for anthology submissions I need to finish by the end of next week, and do the last 40k or so on another novel (which is just shy of 90k already), I'll get started on redoing it.]]>
