Every year I want to do this and every year I can never think of anything worthy of an entire novel. This year will be much the same because I just don't have the time as I'm still a graduate student. But next year, I hope to!

You should just try one year even though you don't have anything worthy of an entire novel. Sometimes the story unfolds while you're writing it. And if nothing else, you can combine several short stories with an overall theme. (Not having time is a whole other issue of course.)

Coda, I hope you get well soon!

There have been a lot of times when I've used NaNo as a way to practice some aspect of writing. Usually when I'm stuck on my novel, I'll work on something like dialogue or better descriptions. It might be totally unrelated to the story, and in that case I throw it at the end of my document with an empty page in between. It's still writing and still helpful and you can still count your words.

as i told someone on another forum, there's always Camp NaNo, in April and July, and i believe you can set your own word count goals for the camps. =)

Yay, released an update to my story!

I guess I need to go synchronize the Trisphee mirror with the Sufficient Velocity thread.

yaay coda!

ZenKitty · Posted 11-02-2018, 09:16 PM

Congrats, Coda!

Congrats!

And yes you can set your own goal for camp. I think the lowest is around 50 words or so, at least ridiculously low. So even if you have no time whatsoever you could write the first paragraph of your story in your lunch break, or a haiku each time you wait for your computer to boot. This reply already has 65 words altogether.

anyone know what happened to the NaNo widgets? it's not appearing in my sig anymore, and i tried to post it on another forum and got a broken image icon....

Death by Mirrors · Posted 11-04-2018, 09:30 AM

Maybe just temporary bandwith problems or something. Right now I can see your widget in your sig just fine.

trystan830 · Posted 11-04-2018, 10:46 AM

yeah, maybe it was. I can see it now (I'm on my phone now, and it's the next day... lol

ZenKitty · Posted 11-04-2018, 01:15 PM

I need someone to tell me to get off all of these forums/websites/Discord channels and start writing! LOL

This year will be much the same because I just don't have the time as I'm still a graduate student. But next year, I hope to! All that is empty in the drawing should be filled in, the teacher said to us kids. First you sharpen the pencil to fill in the thin whiskers, then you use the thick crayon to fill in the wings with brown, meticulously and without letting the crayon leave the page. Six feet can be traced below the soft belly. Now, breathing is hard to detect on paper, the teacher said to me when I asked, but it is easier to feel it in real life. Even insects breathe. -Rawi Hage, Cockroach
