So, who's not doing NaNo?

Why Nano when it's so much more fun to read all these threads. Have you ever noticed that authors and writers of any kind are slightly mad?

Who said I was mad. It was Mother, wasn't it?
 
Oh, come on, you know I can't tell. I like my lips on my face.
 
I am not doing NanoWriMo. I can't comprehend writing 50,000 words. I like my short stories. I am however looking forward to reading everyone';s entries.:D
 
Nope, not doing Nano, kind of busy.

Besides if I spent all of my time writing how would I annoy the rest of you?

With my new job I have no time to write that much. :(

I will be lending my support to cloudy as hers is based on an idea we had to write "twin" novels.
 
National Novel Writing Month..write a 50,000 word novel in thirty days from November 1, to the 30.
 
Okay, I've never hidden it ... I have blonde roots

And right now they are going into overdrive ... :nana:

I get the feeling y'all aren't talking about the new Nano i-pod on this thread ...
 
I wish I could, it sounds fun... but I just don't have the time. My calendar is completely booked for November.

ohhhhhhhhhhh ... thanks for clearing that up! :kiss:

No, not doing Nano ... definately not ... I couldn't even finish all my thoughts for the Halloween contest! :p
 
Nope....

I'm working instead on a sophomoric stroke story in several parts....Our New Maid. My last submission, An Essay For Life was deadly serious, and I need a break.

PS- What is 50,000 words in terms of typewritten pages? Literotica pages? Anyone know?

ding, ding, ding...
you just set off the..."eeeewwwww" alarm.
sorry, but i just... just cant.
fine for those that do....just...cant...
Yes? .

*smirk*

aren't you supposed to say..."you rang?"
:kiss:

Yes, but if Cant got predictable we'd get bored. I say viva unpredictability!

And... I'm not doing NaNo. My brain is fried.
 
My wife wants more predictability. More comprehensibilty. She high fives herself when she follows me from one idea to the next. But we stay together.

I think, to outsiders, both of us are larger than life. I am in awe of what she does, and she ditto reciprocally. But it isn't a cakewalk.

I did mean, "You rang?" but I wasn't in a Maynard G. Krebs modality. I have collaborated with vella. She has wit, but needs clarity. I have neither. Or maybe wit, from time to time. Either way, it was a strange and unsatisfying collaboration which made us both happy and had, finally, an outcome, now published, I guess.
 
I've wanted to participate in Nano ever since I first learned of it.
The only problem is that I've been up to my neck in Uni work every year since.
:(
Two more years to go. No doubt, by then I'll have more than enough to reach 50K words.
 
I think it would help to have a Really Big Idea, first. Otherwise you would write yourself in circles or write yourself into a corner, chasing your inspiration down.
