NaNoWriMo 2010

[RCH17560]

i did it last year. i was done after 27 :D

over 50,000 words :D

[AccioDawn]

I missed it this year, but I'm determined to do it next year!

[ElizabethLessThan3]

omg i wish i'd heard of it earlier! i'm gonna try to do it next year!

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

YAY, another Dane doing NaNO (I'm just going to write in English so no one feels left out)!

I passed 20k yesterday which was a great feeling, but today I've been procrastinating all day (and I am now, I guess...). I'm really starting to doubt whether I can catch up, uni is taking up a lot of my time.

BUT I'm not intending to give up, I'm going to keep writing! And I encourage all other Wrimos to do so! Good luck! :)

[Mononokenausicaa]

DO IT DUDE! I started on the 11th (i forgot about it at the beginning of Nov.) and I'm already at 10,000 words- and I've got full-time school and work! IF i CAN YOU CAN!!!

[LonelyBlackButterfly]

I failed last year with 16k. I'm pretty sure that the last 3k were complete bull of me describing what was happening around me. Either way it was so shameful I never read it again. Maybe next year I will.

THIS year, I'm behind but I'm positive that I can catch up at the end of the month once school is over so I'm sure I can win!

[scottrsmithjr]

I just started my Nanowrimo novel for this year, almost a week behind :( I plan on completing 50,000 words this year though, I'll just need some power writing days to catch up. Good luck on yours!

[WisdomGoesHere]

YOU SAID DOOBLYDOO!!!!!!!!!!!! FELLOW BEARD LOVER?!

[xoxsunshinesmilexox]

im doing it too!

[ElectricFaerieDust]

I'm doing NaNoWriMo! I'm on 1627 words so I'm feeling pretty good.

Last year I failed though...:(

[RubyRequiem]

hee hee hee trees XD YUS I am doing NaNoWriMo :D I'm so excited about it. I peered into your novel info though and there is nothing there O.o Just what are you writing about, sir? :D

[1992Jarhead]

@RubyRequiem yay :D!

Oh I forgot to fill in the novel info! Damn. Anyways, I'm writing a zombie apocalypse novel. I think it's going to be fun :D.

How about you? What are you writing about?

[RubyRequiem]

@1992Jarhead Ah found your novel info now. Sounds like an interesting zombie appocalypse :D Writing about zombies is always fun XD Although one might wonder how your protagonist manages to sleep through the sounds of his neighbors being zombified O.o Unless it's a quiet virus <.<

I'm not sure about my genre. Basically two polar opposite individuals must work together to accomplish each others goals ^___^ ... in an 1800's setting :D ... Ad in my videos XD

\o/ Good luck with your novel! :D

[1992Jarhead]

@RubyRequiem Yea I just added it :P

Exactly! One can never have enough zombie novels!

I think the reason why the protagonist doesn't realize that the entire world is getting zombified over night is because he is a lazy git who doesn't really take in his surroundings. Kind of like the start of Shaun of the Dead if you've seen that film :)?

Your novel sounds really interesting! Especially the 1800's setting. That's just priceless. Good luck to you!

[RubyRequiem]

@1992Jarhead You know what there needs to be? A section in my local Borders for zombie appocalypses XD It would save us all a lot of time XD

lol I have yet to see Shaun of the dead :O but I see XD So, lazy as in he just doesn't absorb what's going on around him, or lazy as in he hears Fred across the street screaming and doesn't want to do anything about it? >:)

Well thanks :D yeah I like the 1800's. Steampunk elements are fun :D lol good luck to you as well ^___________^

[Larab3lla]

*raises hand* I'm doing Nanowrimo too!

This is my second year writing a novel, last year I failed miserably (got to about 7,000 words), but this year I'm gonna win! Hopefully. :P

I just wanted to ask if I could add you as a writing buddy, since it would be cool to share Nano experiences and all the other things you said in your video.

Best wishes! :)

[1992Jarhead]

@Larab3lla Yay :D!

It's a tough challenge so I understand why you failed last year. I failed last year as well.. but let's hope we can both win this year!

And of course you can add me as a writing buddy. Please do :D.

Good luck! And best wishes to you too :)

[rgasperson]

I'm Participating. I am hoping to vlog about it as I go. Wish me luck.

[1992Jarhead]

@rgasperson Great idea :D.

And good luck!

[salx77]

Great video. I'm doing nano this year. You have my sub :)

[1992Jarhead]

@salx77 Aw thank you! And good luck to you :D

[vlognowrimo]

Also: you said dooblydoo. I smell a fellow Nerdfighter!

[1992Jarhead]

@vlognowrimo yes indeed I am a nerdfighter :D!

wow you really have some experience with NaNoWriMo! I've read your synopsis on your NaNo page and your story sounds really interesting!!! I would love to read the novel when/if you finish :D. I'm also writing a zombie apocalypse story :)

[vlognowrimo]

I'm doing Nanowrimo! (And vlogging it too.) Think positively - you CAN win Nanowrimo this year! Lots of people do while they're in school, or working full time (like me, and I've won twice). I'll Nanofriend you, my name there is imaginepageant. :)

[ashlyntheonly]

good luck simon my friend

i'm also doing nanowrimo

[1992Jarhead]

@ashlyntheonly yay :D!

[MayaCuteMonster]

I wish i could do something like that! But i don't really have the talent to write 50.000 words. That's a lot of words! But good luck to you :)

[1992Jarhead]

@MayaCuteMonster you do not need talent to participate in NaNoWriMo. I don't see myself as a talented writer either but it's fun to try :D

but thank you :)

[RestlessRacoon]

@simonday it's just LærkeUhrenholtJensen . But I added you on there (;

[letsplaywizards]

I haven't made up my mind about NaNoWriMo yet. I have a plot and I have made some of my characters but I just don't think it's enough for 50,000 words. I'm not sure the plot has enough details.

But good luck to you. (:

[1992Jarhead]

@letsplaywizards I'm actually with you on that one. My plot is extremely bad and the characters are vague but I'm hoping that it'll evolve once I start writing :)

And thank you!

[johnetie]

Good luck.

[1992Jarhead]

@johnetie Thank you :)

[silverghostDK]

I think I'll give NaNoWriMo a go this year. Still trying to come up with a good idea. I'm at continueation school though, meaning I don't have any sparetime before about 7pm and sometimes even later. Fingers crossed :)

[1992Jarhead]

@silverghostDK Awesome :D! do you have a Nano page?

Oh man, that sucks. But I wish you the best of luck!

[silverghostDK]

@1992Jarhead Yep, it's maria-wein. I just added you on there.

Thanks! :) You too.

[JulieOfSuburbia]

I would write, but I'm too afraid to fail.

Plus, November is crazy for me.

[1992Jarhead]

@JulieOfSuburbia You will probably fail the first couple of times. But that doesn't matter :). Nano is not really about winning or losing, it's about trying. But I understand. November is also a busy month for me!

[RestlessRacoon]

Iiiiiiiii am doing NaNoWriMo again this year.

Mostly because you reminded me of it, actually (;

The best tip I could think of, from the top of my head would be:

Bring your laptop. Everywhere.

[1992Jarhead]

@RestlessRacoon Yay :D!! What's your Nano page? :)

I am almost always with my laptop no matter where I go anyways :P

[annanaz91]

who paints the trees ?

[1992Jarhead]

@annanaz91 Chuck Norris

[annanaz91]

@1992Jarhead it makes no sense. why would he do that ?

[1992Jarhead]

@annanaz91 eh... because he's Chuck Norris?

[annanaz91]

@1992Jarhead he sounds like a horrible person. painting trees can not be good for the environment.

[AleeEvermore]

I was going to do it this year, but college is ridiculous. Good luck!

[1992Jarhead]

@AleeEvermore aw a shame! But thank you :D

[Butterflypants]

You're not the only Dane that's gonna write, dude

[1992Jarhead]

@Butterflypants I never said I was :P

But yay :D. What's your NaNo page :)?
