BellaOnline Forums Career Fiction Writing NaNoWriMo - Are you joining in the fun?

I'll be there! Again!

I've "done" it six years now, and finished a couple times... still have yet to go back and rewrite, but it's a huge YAY when you realize that it can be done, and completing a manuscript isn't an absolutely insurmountable goal. The absolute hardest part of writing - for me, at least - has been making the time to sit down and just DO it. This makes me!

I know Nano has it's naysayers, but I think it's a wonderful thing. It gives you a goal, a time limit, and others that are trying to accomplish the same thing you are. Research and planning are all well and good, but I know if I told myself I'd start writing when I was done with all that, the first words would never get done! I just have to keep telling myself that nothing is chisled in stone, it can be revised, rewritten, edited... but you can only revise something that's already been written.

So here's to 30 days of literary (and sometimes not-so-literary) abandon!

Good luck!

I signed up as nanoallie. Now I have to start writing with no idea what I'm going to write about.

Thanks for the post Debra, it is always great to hear from those that have managed to reach the NaNoWriMo goal. This is my first time doing this and I am very determined

Good luck with your writing, you'll have to let me know how you're getting on.

Hello Alice. It is great that you have signed up and hopefully you will be able to come up with something. My advice is just to write and see where it takes you. Good luck Let me know how you get on.

I'll start a separate thread for us to post our daily results, so we can encourage each other along!

The most important thing is a positive mindset! A project without enthusiasm tends not to get finished. As many people can attest to! Have a positive outlook, and it can be done!
