NaNoWriMo 2012 is in the bag.

Well, it is an honor for me to comment on a discussion of a true novelist! I'm very happy for you that you hand write the "books", where two episodes you've already completed but you have already idea of writing a third. First, I will do my warmest congratulations and my best wishes that your novels are of absolute appreciation for the people who read them. To me, personally, I never thought to write, if not here, just discussions on Mylot! However, I know personally of writers but they write poems. I like them too. Shall I still consider myself a writer of aphorisms I say to friends, just to make them laugh. I can mention one: "If you put the seat belt in the mouth of the mother-in-law, you will avoid road accidents!" It made ??you laugh?

Congrats, I am so happy for you...:D Unfortunately I got sick on November 17 and just now coming out of it. I was behind to begin with, so I knew I couldn't make it this year. Let me know how it goes, I have never known anyone who actually has done this before..

I have a couple of unfinished novels and several potentials on my computer. I decided with the novel I am on to write more a day and rather then just do a couple of pages, have increased it to four. Now that is double spaced. I have a working title but have not decided on whether to keep it. I have to put some more descriptions, but now I am concentrating on the dialogue. And improving the map of the planet I am writing about. Still do not know what NaNoWriMo means, especially the Na part.

I finished today. I've now completed NaNoWriMo three times and Camp NaNoWriMo twice. I think my second Camp NaNoWriMo came out the best out of all of them. I also got a little too comfortable with my adverbs, and I have this hasty-typing problem of adding the wrong tense to my verbs... like writing "jumped" as "jumping" or vise versa, but those are simple fixes. The less simple fixes are in story structure and character development, all that jazz. I actually think that I write so much better when I'm writing in one long marathon as opposed to writing slowly day by day. If I'm writing slowly day by day, then I think I typically get distracted, forget important details, get too far away from the story and I wind up with horrible story structure problems. That's probably just me though. Congrats! See you for Camp NaNoWriMo in the summer? I did both July and August this year, so I might do them both next year too.

Congratulations, I have actually written a manuscript a couple of years and just sort of left it on the back burner. I just may revisit it my thing is Im not real sure about where to start on trying to have it published I don't have money to spend on any of these publishing houses.

Congratulations. I really wanted to do NaNoWriMo, but I was in a creative slump at the beginning of the month. Very well done!

Awesome. Glad you came up for air! Rewriting/editing is harder than writing no matter what you start with. Good luck with it.

That is great that you completed NaNoWriMo! I got a decent start on my novel during this month, but I won't be "winning" NaNoWriMo this year. However, if I can keep working on this manuscript a bit at a time through December and January and get to editing around the end of January/beginning of February, I may end up with a decent novel. After four or five run-throughs with the editing, I should have something that someone might actually want to read. At least, one can hope...

I wanted to start NaNoWriMo this year, but everything came together for this month for me... lots of appointments to make, going to the dentist and the psychologist, spending a lot of time with my boyfriend. So I was like, it's not worth doing it, as I really wanted to make a longer piece of writing, maybe a whole book. So I'm gonna try it next year (maybe the camp time). But at least I have several story ideas, and I really think one of them is going to be the basis. All of them are, with some exceptions, light beach read, maybe slightly feminine... I've got a "trilogy" in mind with a young make-up artist (starting out from a youtube channel) getting into the world of the media and her "adventures". I even have the main plot points and some of the main characters... I just hope the main heroine comes out as I want her to be (I want her to be likeable, unique, but not an into-your-face really crazy and random personality with a tomboyish, glamour-opposed streak). I also have a story about an intern at a new and popular music company at the management section who hates her job, as she wanted to be a journalist, but this one was given to her at the university, and her dealing with all the bratty and scandalous new starts and starlets. The only one which is not really light, is set in an alternate universe where a young girl is imported as a slave to another country, where she, because of luck, ends up being a maid at the president's house where she falls in love with the president's right hand, whom is not what she believes him to be, but he isn't even what he himself believes to be. It's going to be more of a psychological drama than some action book, but it would be pretty exciting and fast-paced. I'm still on the fence what to choose, but now I'm thinking I'm gonna go with the make-up artist one, but maybe because that's the last one I made up, and it ha

Hey koop! Congratulations on your NaNoWriMo win! I made all kinds of preparations to participate this year, including pages upon pages of notes for character and plot development and so on. Unfortunately, I had too many conflicts at home to pull it off this year. But I haven't done a Camp NaNo yet, so that sounds fun! You do know about WriDaNoJu (Write a Damn Novel in June) and NaNoWriYe (National Novel Writing Year), don't you? There are all sorts of opportunities to pull off a novel. Best wishes! :-)
