NaNoWriMo 2003

It took me a while to see that, too.

I thought that was a great idea: putting the pic in your sigline. I tried to do it earlier, but it didn't work. I know I used the correct html code. I also noticed that codes are set to 'off' for my sigline, could it be that my post count isn't high enough to do that, or something? Alex, your AV is great, I've been meaning to say that for days. I thought about doing that myself, but I want to start using a halloween one soon. :devil: Lou

Perhaps it DOES have to do with your post count. Perhaps you have to pass Literotica Guru stage and reach make-up-your-own-title, which will be at 1000 posts...

I wrote a long reply, and posted it. In here. Now I can't see it. Is there a Lit Halloween Monster in AH, eating my posts?

 

[Guest]

There's ghouls on the loose.

I'm just about to hit 'Guru' status, when I hit 500 posts, I'll see if I can post images in my sigline then, if not I'll have to wait until 1000.

Pah! It's still not working.

I dunno what I was talking about, yes it is! Yay!

Good thing I (think I) know what you're talking about! It's great to see all the NaNo icons popping up. I have to say, I like Icingsugar's mod . . .

[Guest]

Yep, you've started a trend, Alex.

Next time I need someone to explain to me what I'm talking about, is it ok to PM you? LOL

's what I feel like. I'm a very unsafe bet for a Winner tag...

 

[Guest]

Whaddya mean? You won't fail, I won't let you! I'm gonna be here for the duration, whipping your sorry butts into gear, YOU WILL COMPLETE THE NOVEL.

Ahem, sorry, the Evil one's influence is going to my head.

Lou

 

[Icingsugar]

Yes, ma'am.

 

[raphy]

Wishing all of you lots of luck and creative vibes on this - Unfortunately I won't be able to participate. We just put the finishing touches to the shooting schedule for the thing I was writing the screenplay for, and most of it's in November...

Otherwise, I'd be right in there with ya, writing away! However, I will be there in spirit.

OH-H...

...Well, yes, but wouldn't it be just as scary to be turning into Math GUY?

Hi Wild Sweet,

Thanks. I looked at Holly Lisle, notecarding, and found it *very* interesting. Although I write non fiction exactly that way, and teach it so, I hadn't thought so much about fiction; more the old myths of creative flow, etc. She does neglect that, but I suppose the premise is stated at the beginning. Nothing is happening, the book has to be written.

I was going to say Tate that I don't have 500 posts (I think its around 200) and I have an image in my sig line... LOL

*puts her nano image in her AV box*

Edit THREE HUNDRED? WHEN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?

 

[Guest]

Yeah, I think I kept cocking up my code when I first did it, added a slash where it wasn't needed, or something like that.

Could there be a mysterious post goblin going around, adding stuff when you're not looking?

Cool, another NaNologo!

 

[Alex De Kok]

Not sure if I'm doing the right (write?) thing

but I do believe I've almost got my wife convinced she should enter. I think we'll need to take turns to feed each other . . .

LouLou,
I don't know why it took me so long to look at this thread, but it's a wonderful idea... so I am going to sign up too. I always feel like I have that faraway dream of writing a novel "someday" and this challenge really inspires me to get something done!

I believe it's a good idea to just write without editing or judgement - there is always time for that later. Reminds me of a class I took earlier this year called "The Artist's Way".... basically the concept is that you should create just for the sake of creating and not judge what comes out. If you take care of the quantity, the quality will be taken care of by your muse/creative spirit/"higher power" - whatever you want to use here.

*Feeling nervous, but excited...*

DirtyJJ! I've just been going through this thread, in an attempt to collate all of the info within, and I noticed that you said you'd be joining us. Sorry for not responding to your message before, I don't know how I over-looked it. Have you signed up? If so, welcome aboard the loony train!

Are you gonna reep the score card, whip the rest of us into a writing frenzy and churn out your own novel at the same time? Damn, what kinds of a superhuman do you think you are? I'm already in awe over here. And you haven't even warmed up yet...?

At least that is the working title and genre that is buzzing around in my mind at the moment. (I am practising for the word count by using no contactions. - think I am wearing my backspace key out lol)

wso
ps Has a thread been established for Lit writers on NaNo as yet? I've looked and not found one, found lots of Kiwis though.

Thanks for the info, WSO and Just_Legal.

As for the thread at the NaNo forums, I've been thinking about that one. I'm not sure where we should put it. Most of the board is organised in terms of geography. There are the genre sections, but we're not all writing within the same genre. I've been spending most of my time there in the Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror forum, where me old mukka, Mike, started up an Erotic Horror thread (we've been having some interesting discussions about tentacle porn ). There is the Romance and Erotic Fiction forum, and us being from Literotica, could fit in there. What does everyone else think?

Helen, I admire you. It looks like you'll be getting an extra dimension out of the NaNo experience. I hope it isn't too painful for you, and don't forget, we're all here to help and support you along the way.

Lou
