Heya gang! Amanda Fennec told me about this wonderful project last winter, and I have been waiting for it ever since. "National Novel Writing Month (also known as NaNoWriMo) is a creative writing project held annually in November in which participants attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. Despite the name, the project is now international in scope." - wikipedia So basicly, write something with 50,000 words or more, or attempt to. It doesn't have to be a serious project, but rather a fun challenge in creative writing. I doubt my abbilities to complete this, but I have been planning to partake in this and was interested to know if anyone from the forum would like to give it a try with me. I will be uploading my progress to furry.ca starting November 1st. If you've got an idea that you want to turn into a story, but lack the motivation, this might be a neat way to get it on paper, or get started. ^^ Just thought it was a neat project, and wanted to share it with you. :3 -TJ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Novel_Writing_Monthhttp://www.nanowrimo.org/ |

Yeah, I have my doubts that I will be able to get to 50,000, but no harm in trying, eh? Good Luck! :3 -TJ |

I should be working on my novel anyway, so what's a little more motivation? Don't think I'll get out more than a few thousand words, but here's hoping. :)

Good Luck to you! :3 If you feel you need some more motivation, there is a pep talk page on the website under the tab "Fun stuff" There are some nice pep talks from pretty well known writers. They got me in the spirit when I was a little unsure of the whole thing. Just thought I'd mention that. ^^ -TJ |

At first I was like 50 000 words.... I'm too lazy for that but when I thought about it it's like... why not? I only waste time doing nothing so I might as well try writing... even if I'll fail X3

There is never any harm in trying something. If anything, you gain something. :3
Good Luck to you! :3

Mm... so, there are 30 days in November. If you wrote an average of roughly 1700 words per day, you'd easily be able to make it.
Considering that your (TJ's) initial post was around 900 words itself, this really isn't a tough thing to do, as long as you're disciplined enough to stick to your guns.
I'll certainly take part. It's good to keep fresh with that type of thing. I'd love to see what you end up with, TJ.
Cheers;
-Lady Serpent

I have started and a friend of mine has joined me we are writing a pair of perspective stories of two people that meet about halfway through the book.

That'll be really cool, especially when you get to the point where the two stories meet and become one! Awesome idea Wolfgang, and good luck!! I'd love to get a chance to read it when its finished :3 I'm in. Woo! What'cha gonna write about, Drew? What ever it is, I wish you mucho good luck! -TJ |
