oh frell it

[seldear]

I signed up for NaNo again.

50,000 words in 30 days. I never know how I do it, but I've done it four years running. Let's see if we can make it five for five.

This time, it's going to be at least 80% original fiction. Again, I don't know how I'm going to do it (especially since I seem to have a lot of unfinished fics and ficathons due around this time) but I am.

I blame allisnow for getting me into it.

Anyone else? (Doing NaNo, I mean, not blaming allisnow - although you're welcome to do that, too!)

It's a very, very cool icon. :)

And, yeah, the cracky dreams are always useful sources of plotbunnies.

I'm doing it, too. Same user name, majorsamfan

Congratulations...or condolences!

How have you fared in previous years?

Last year was my first attempt, and I totally sucked. I had a great idea but had spent no time ahead thinking it through really.

Right now I'm trying to finish all the ficathon stories that are due in November *before* Nov. 1, and I may suffer the same fate as last year on the planning. We live and (sometimes) learn!

Two giggling points from me...

Firstly, heheh Frell and secondly your icon! I love that thing! Fucking kangaroos...

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

That icon seems to be a great source of amusement to many people.

...I can't imagine why...

Ah well, good luck, especially since you're traveling for quite a bit of November, but maybe that will help. And I find you can generally blame most things on allisnow if you work at it hard enough. ;-)

I'm sorta counting on those between-city bus trips to provide me with time, and the beauties of Europe to inspire me.

But I may very well fail miserably.

I'm attempting it for year three :-)

Hopefully I'll be closer to year 1 and less like year 2.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Yay! What's your NaNo ID on the forums?

[triciabyrne1978.livejournal.com]

Triciabyrne1978 :-)

I think I have you on my list from previous years.

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

Hee.

I'm doing NaNo--I just added you over there.

It's my first time through, so should be interesting.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the insanity! And the madness. And the word-counting. And the plot-padding. And...you get my drift.

[kyronae.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm giving it another go as well. This is the first year where I feel less than likely to win, though. We'll see.

I'm glad you're doing more original fiction. I really liked what you started on last year. ^.^

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm going to give it a go. I just hope I can get the story out in time!

[skandrae.livejournal.com]

I can't blame allisnow, but I am doing it this year. I'm hoping the fourth time is the charm, as I've tanked within a day or two the last three times I tried. I blame work ^_^

I'm there under the same username as here.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I'll add you to the NaNo Buddy list.

*puts up hand*

'cause, you know, I'm such a slacker...

gonna try my hand at another fantasy while waiting to see if the last one works...

this... is gonna be either interesting, fun or hysterical.
