Nanowrimo

[Onifos]

I did it this year... FAILED PAINFULLY...

[ItsdaZinger]

I did nanowrimo last year. I love write ins. It was fun.

[thehappiestcamper]

I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo this month for August. -_- I don't plan on finishing it, but I think it's a good starting place. I start college this month though, so this may just be a terrible [and by "terrible" I mean "terrible"] life choice.

[citinsummikk]

I've been looking forward to Nanowrimo since Script Frenzy ended, and still so long to go...!

[ChiefMaverick515]

I... am participating in NanoWrimo. I'm not doing it for me, or you, or anyone else.

I am doing it... in worship to that godly accent.

ALL HAIL THE BRITISH.

[miloismyedward]

@ChiefMaverick515 ...he's australian.

[ChiefMaverick515]

@miloismyedward F*ck Nano, then. >:(

lmao

[StephiiSunshine]

@ChiefMaverick515 You realise he's australian, right?

[ChiefMaverick515]

@StephiiSunshine l:( Srsly?

[StephiiSunshine]

@ChiefMaverick515 Yes, i'm sorry.... I love his accent <3

[CrazyCauldron]

This video is 1 minute and 11 seconds long. NaNoWriMo starts on the 1st of the 11th.

Took me a few years, but I got it :)

[nightmarefairy96]

@CrazyCauldron

It's 1 min 12 secs. Fail

[huskypuppylove]

Haha. You make me laugh. In a good way. Haha.

[HelloWorldSN]

How'd you do Tom? Finish?

[MELmelodramatic]

i missed nanowrimo D:

well im gonna be a rebel and do it in DECEMBER INSTEAD!!!

[josieruby1]

'Eat cornchips. I don'ty know what you do. ugh' xD. Brilliatn

[BleedingAmpersands]

snap, I thought this was michael cera talking about Nanowrimo. Still good, but the underlying disappointment is still there.

[shananond]

My novel. Is done.

Well, no. My 50,000 is done. But the actual novel still isn't done being written yet, and then there's the editing, so actually it's far from done.

Anyway, I love this video and have watched probably 50 times over the course of this month :P

[AztecQueen321]

Tom I love you -3

[MLinaClaire]

@MarisPallitax1 NaNoWriMo buddies work like twitter. Just because you buddy someone doesn't mean you are their buddy. You have a list of your buddies and a list of people that you are a buddy of. Hope that helps!

[MarisPallitax1]

i added you as a buddy for nanowrimo, but for some reason it isn't showing up on your profile, but it is on mine :/ i'm new to nanowrimo, so there could be some really simple explanation to this that everyone else knows and will make me seem like a ditz (trust me, it happens). do you know why?

[wulfinspirit1]

you're a freak - i love it :)

[0faceofbowearingafez]

such girlie handwriting, same as my sister's... for shame

[jcluvsmcr]

NICE VIDEO!!!!!<3<3 I tried last year and am trying this year, but completely failing.

[LonelyBlackButterfly]

@jcluvsmcr Even if you fail, you are still winning, because you are attempting it! I ALMOST didn't even try this year, which would have been a shame, because it's so worthwhile. Last year, On december first, I only had 16k. This year I plan on finishing with at least 30k! The whole idea is to get people to write, it doesn't matter if you don't write enough. :) Keep going!

[natedaug1]

Damn, that was hilarious. Nice job.

[lovelyspringweather]

lmao "whyyy?"

[LaikVictoria49]

haha this is the most awesome video ever.

And your accent is amazing. <3

=D

[1234lillie]

um halloween :)

[lizzy6les]

Supermegafoxyawesomehot.

Totally turned on. :D

[krimzonvillain]

...I'm already eating a ton of cornchips. You just made me question my lifestyle.

[lesshonor]

"Why? BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME. >:|"

"oh nooo what's this, written on my haaand"

...I laughed WAY TOO HARD.

[tabbykatification]

NaNoWriMo pwns all!

[sarathoughtonnothing]

turned on.

[shananond]

haha Love this...I'm the creative type who has gone and registered, (second year, baby!) and I don't really like corn chips all that much...And I won last year and I'm gonna win this year and also every year for the rest of my life!

[azurebreezes]

Dear Tom,

I am doing NaNoWriMo this year and I was wondering if you would be doing it this year?

Love,

Buffy

[droba100]

I love how you have to look at your watch to find out what month it is XD

[millystack]

I failed at NaNoWriMo last year. I'm going to try again this year. :D

[rayuk666]

Love nanowrimo - failed last year :( hopefully this year will be better.

[saraofsweden]

I just added you as a buddy :) doing my first Nanowrimo this November!

[TheAdventuresofTime]

@saraofsweden

2009 was my first time!

Good luck!!

[fireboltflier]

I was turned on.

[smarticle16]

I've won it twice

Very awesome competition

[cho474chang]

ah nanowrimo...can't wait for this november!

[tigercub684]

Why is NaNoWriMo always in the middle of my exams??? Goddamned uni.

[DVOJAXX]

A writer writes.... always !

Billy Crystal in Throw Momma From The Train

And now, I think I will get started on that ton of corn chips.

[Kiaarria]

Hahahah, yes! Oh man. I loved that. I'm looking up videos for NaNoWriMo now because I miss it, even if it was just a few months ago.

Yes, I was totally turned on by this video. Even if I loved NaNo before. That was fantastic.

And you know... I kind of like corn chips.. while noveling.

[sweetdreamspantoponr]

Nonowrimo kills me. I just don't have the attention span for 50,000 words. NOVEL? Please.

[NothingHero]

I wish I'd known about this in October.

[Irocksomuch44568]

NaNoWrimo totally sucked the social out of me when i firsted tried and still i do it every year!!!

[CheesyMcK]

Holy cow that was awesome. This is my first year attempting the NaNoWriMo challenge. I'm still going, but I'm having doubts. haha. Only 23,000 thousands words to go in only 5 days. Meh, piece of cake!

[one25centpeice]

29 thousand something words!!!!! Goal: about 35,000 by the end of the weekend!!!!!! I was super behind yesterday, then I basically tortured myself... and now here I am! In pain, yes. But oh, the satisfaction of seeing the word count is like Novocain to the soul...

[sensationnationchick]

yay! nanowrimo! cant tell you have excited i've been for this. are you participating? i've got....16k ish.

[Jen0cyde]

Lmfao: Why? Because its awesome!

I totally agree =) I'm at a little over 1800!

[Pianowoman13]

Brilliant! Loved this. I'm currently at 20,000 words already...

[GaL4GoD]

I just did an epic stands-up-chair-flying-backwar­ds-fists-in-the-air-epic-muscl­e-flaunting-angry-faced scream at this comment. I'm at 26k and I have 7 days to finish. x_x

[Pianowoman13]

@GaL4GoD

*laughs* I can really picture that. You'll get it done, don't worry. I have a few friends who have barely reached 30k. I told them not to freak out, even though I'm already at 42k. I'm starting to slow down, so I'm panicking.

[GaL4GoD]

It's ok if you're at 42k right now though, cause today you just need to be at 40k, so you won't be behind unless you type nothing until Thanksgiving. XD Lucky you! But last night I wrote to 30k so I think if I keep up this pace I can do it.

[Pianowoman13]

@GaL4GoD

*laughs* I'm only a quarter into my plot though.

You can do it.

[HBhannahbrown]

So very turned on.

Maybe it's the accent. ;)

I'm a bit behind, just hit 10k. Ugh. And no I'm not procrastinating. Why would you think that... :|

Gewher on Nano.

[snaliger]

You got 10k? I only have 6k.

Who is behind now?

[one25centpeice]

Start writing, woman! Go, go, go!

[snaliger]

I am confused. I though it was "national" novel writing month (as in national in America). Aren't you from Australia?

[xseasonxchangex]

@snaliger Yes it is indeed called National Novel Writing Month. However, it is, despite the name, not limited to America. They even accept novels in different languages. ^-^

[Gnaeus1]

people from all over the world enter.

[QueenBoadicea]

It originally started in America. But it's gone global so the title is a misnomer by now. But who cares? It's the thought that counts...and most people think we're losers. Screw 'em. At the end of this month, we'll have written a novel and they'll have gotten fat on seconds of turkey. Who's the loser now? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Jen0cyde]

People do it all over the world

[WhimsicalRedhead]

score. nanowrimo is our friend!! :)

[Quantumfishsticks]

I'm doing it and I'm at 12,858words IT IS PURE AWESOME! DOO EET

[sometimesinamusical]

Way to distract me from my noveling!

:)

[Chellanore]

So turned on! In fact I am doing NaNoWriMo this month!  Though you can't tell since I'm on youtube...and am 1000 words behind. Damn...

I'm Chellanore on the wrimo website if anyone wants to be my writing buddy!

See you all there!

[minimalismiskey]

5 Stars! I'm doing NaNoWrimo too.. and this is me not writing and wasting time on YouTube... damnit.

[Vampiratninja]

I'm doing it! Too bad I managed to forget, and didn't get started before today. But I am going to get there! :D

[17Lonewulf]

" Perhaps go rent a dvd , and eat a ton of corn chips or something. I don't know what you guys do." hilarious!

[TheColdest]

TOTALLY turned on, adding you on NaNo :) My screenname is ofallpieces. :D

[KidOmniMan]

I didn't know Michael Cera had a blog.

[Squirrelfoxe]

Yup.  Definitely turned on.

[emmielovegood]

I'm turned on ;) x

[ChappStickMan]

13 years old and already got 5,080 words typed. WEEKENDS WILL BE HEAVEN

[miisspelled]

Great video, frezned. Five stars!

I'm psyched for this year. I'm not cowering in the corner like I probably should because this is my first time.

Buddy me if you like, I have the same username. Always looking for some friendly competition to keep those keys hot!

[the1dipip]

Im doing it this year aiming for 30k words. Awesome countdown: 1 day 9 hours 54 min 20 sec before nov 1

[pinkywingy97]

ROFL i love this vid i'm doing nanowrimo :O and ima TRY to do 50k word lol

[LoveMyDogs]

This video is awesome! I'm so excited. :)

[xoalwazyoursox]

TURNED ON, FOR SURE. <3

[herreguda]

@xoalwazyoursox

Me too^^

[SilithDark]

Hey! I vote we post what our name is on NaNo! That way we can all buddy and keep each other going! I need more people to help keep me writing!

I is GoldWyvern!

[fashionandmusic921]

hey hey hey

creative people don't have to just be writers

But not that I expect you to be politically correct :)

[flcl1990]

i love this ... lol

[icklehammy]

Yay, I'm nanowrimoing for my second year. Winner last year and i'm going to win this year. :D

Get ready for the adventure, the writersblock, the lack of sleep and your friends ringing you to find out where you've been all Novemember.

[SpidysGirlRikusWorld]

lol so awesome!! I'm so pumped for this year! Last year i got like 2,000 words or so but this year I'M GONNA DO IT!

[MrCaptianMorgan]

I like to pronounce it 'Na-No-ree-Mo' sounds better to me

hehe

[creativemachine]

Na-No-rye-Mo is closer to the actual pronunciation of the un-contracted words

[stargatelvr11]

haha, this made ma laugh :-)

[CrouchingMantis]

I'm tooootally turned on.

[millystack]

I'm going to try NaNoWriMo for the first time this year.

I'm excited.

[DyvekeDraws]

@millystack how did it go?

[millystack]

@DyvekeDraws Last year was an epic fail, but I have a good feeling about this year. I have a big whiteboard in my room with the heading, NANOWRIMO PLANZ and a massive mind map. I feel prepared. :D

[DyvekeDraws]

@millystack AWESOME :D I think I'll fail, but I'll try.

[Winter1012]

Oh man I'm all sorts of pumped up for NaNo this year! I won last year by three minutes. Literally I was up until midnight shaking from my ten (maybe eleven) cups of coffee and writing like a maniac. Truly awesome.

And ew don't talk to the non-creative people. They don't think like we do nor are they as masochistic. =D Yay masochistic writers!

[TheCapstanShanty]

Hmm, so is masochism a common trait for you creative people?

[Winter1012]

We must be, especially if you're like me and are one of the the slowest writers ever who must ponder every word for its purpose in life.

NaNoWriMo...good times, good times...

[kateribethrose]

go eat corn chips? lol that was funny.

[nizdolls]

Heh, I love the accent ^_^.

Also, for all you icon-lovers,

go to my livejournal (nizdolls) for 62 NaNoWriMo icons - woooo.

Niz xxx

[idiotjello]

I failed last year...maybe I'll win this year. :)

[LeahEatsYou]

I can't wait for NaNoWriMo! This will be my first year participating! I'm totally psyched!

[vampout66]

Write-in at yours this year!

[sillynstubborn]

If I have time and if I remember, I'll participate in NaNoWriMo!

[Spalove]

I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year

[suupertramp]

lol "why do you hate fun?". 50, 000 words a month is 1500 a day, thats like an hour or two work or more, depending on how slow you think...i can't do that! i have a life...i mean...i have...work, yes, i have "work" to do.....

[rainangel03]

It's 1667 words a day. :)

[JibrilMudo]

exactly. and it seems to be hard writing about 1600 words per day, but honestly? it isn't^^ once you start writing (and believe me you haaave to force yourself) it's easy writing over 3 pages in word. If you feel like confident about your storyline and your characters you can manage to write about 2000 words it just depends on how motivated you are^^ soooo: you can do it! *yay*

[rustydagger456]

from 1:08 onwards i laughed so hard

[daliafruitbar]

And so is 0:41

[daliafruitbar]

0:53 is funny.

I'm doinh NaNoWriMo this year! First time! can't wait!

[jonnosgirl]

well i'm watching a tonne of your videos and eating nutella. that's what i do instead of writing. kicks ass

[redstrawberrymuncher]

It's so unfair that "writing" gets more letters in "nanowrimo" than all the others. "national" only gets na, "novel" only gets no, and "month" only gets mo. and for some reason "writing" gets wri. and yes i know it would be hard to pronounce as nanowrmo and everyone would get confused but god.

also i feel like i used to many quotation marks.

[MusicalEutopia]

"A 50,000 word novel" - The reason why it's 50,000 words is because novels are proses of a minimum of 50,000 words.

[knewnews]

I finnished Nanowrimo 2008, november. woohoo! Just finnished editing!

[LiteraryMinded]

NOW I know why you asked about Nanowrimo. Why did you let me go on like an egomaniac talking about my writing when you obviously wanted to tell me YOU did it! :-D Awesome! So... novel?

[AngryCommunists]

i laugh so much i cry alittle

[animegalc4]

October - *AHEM*

MY BIRTHDAY!!

How could you, Tom?

Oh woe.

Woe is me.

NOBODY LOVES ME!!! T_T

Rofl. Only sleggin ;)

[eddusfledermaus]

You're amazing! This year was my first proper Nanowrimo, it was great!

[cattieloves]

You're cute. :*)

I did NaNo this year, but I kinda cheated. I got desperate toward the end and pasted all my notes for my story into the manuscript to count toward the word count...teehee.

[Zippedidoodah]

Holy crap, I love you for this entire damn thing. Wish I'd seen it before I hit 50k.

'Why?'

'Because it's AWESOME.'

DAMN STRAIGHT. Silly people asking such silly questions.

also your accent is kind of ridiculously hot but you didn't hear it from me

[nocturnezero]

Haha. Just reached 50,000.

[hanafan36]

haha, props man! I'm 1,000 words from finishing! I especially love the ending, very humorous.

[Equuestriaan]

lol I am sooo behind on my nano story. I'm at 20k words LOL I think I can do this though!! I started nov 10th anyway so pretty good considering

[AMangyCat]

Congrats on your first Wrimo win last year! Only another 10 days left to win 2008. Eeps! I'm horribly behind, but still hopeful. What's your word count? You haven't updated your NaNo profile. ;o)

[VampireEnchantress]

LOL! I'm doing NaNoWriMo too! Woo, go you!

[kayamber2011]

ur accent turns me on

[bis12345678]

yes australian

thx

heaps of people say they hate our accents

[ashleyforrestier]

Oh, im definitely turned on by this.

[shivkite770]

frezned=fail

[TheAtraxRobustus]

Frezned=FAIL

[Accal1a]

Now what am I doing? I am watching this to procrastinate from WriMo. *le sigh*

[ApparentlyReturnable]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhh

words fail..................... words faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiillllllll­lllll meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeee....

all i can really say is that your are probably the most sad and stupid pathetic, and really really useless person i have ever seen on this site!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhh

[ashleyforrestier]

yet you still take the time to watch his videos AND comment? *Laughs*

[Arahmynta]

Then duh, don't bother watching! lol

[Creativarts]

God I love you Frezned.

If you were Canadian, I'd kidnap you.

But at this distance, it is just too expensive.

xox

Sophie

p.s. would you be my writing buddy, for NaNoWriMo?

[Arahmynta]

I'm also Canadian, and I would... well, okay I wouldn't kidnap him. But he's an interesting guy and I'd find some random way to make friends... assuming he cared.

ANYWAYS, I hate to burst your bubble, but this would have been LAST year's Nanowrimo. :(

Sorry.

[viarockgirl]

go nanowrimo!

[HardCandyJane]

Your vids are EXCELLENT for procrastinating when I am supposed to be writing for nanowrimo!! :)

[ApparentlyReturnable]

alright everybody *DORK ALERRRRRRRRRRRRT*

i mean, how fucked in the head are people these days... i kick ass at writing novels and would do this nanowrimo thing but its too late...

anyhoo...FUCK!!YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UU

[Creativarts]

Are you a wuss? People are still signing, dear fellow dork.

Lets see what you're made of.

[Lorizh]

lol

[luvchoco356]

i'm doing!!!! 7380 words so far

YEAH BABY!!!!

[Rutle]

I'm there, it's great.

[stolenhalo7]

I lol'd. No really, I did. That's the epitome of epic win.

[bottledmagic]

This year: it's onnnnn

[rawwrface]

I'm doing it this yearrrr!!!

[pieisnice1]

is it on next year

[iceage345]

wow man, 50000 words on a month, that's gotta take some commitment

[NyxFrost]

Oh sweet mercy, I'm starting at midnight. Very exciting.

[linkapee681]

i'mm so excited for nanowrimo.

:DDDD

[vgwiz831]

ITS HOLLOWEEN AGAIN!

[SoulTapestry]

"...because it's AWESOME". Squeee *Squidge*

[VivaLaTJ]

It's that time again!

As if I wasn't excited enough, seeing this made me even more excited. Only... I got confused since this was uploaded in '07 and I'm like "wait... it's not the 30th yet!"

[hannahelphaba]

I don't know what you guys do! Ugh!" Hahahah, YES!

[babyhilts]

Was I turned on by this vid? Yes. Why? I don't know but somehow NaNoWrimo seems so much sexier now that I've seen you talking about it. It's almost November!

[obessedwithtwilight]

I can't wait for

Nanowrimo! =)

[Kalaptoe]

haha the end XD

[peanutboy3]

i love how u look at ur watch before answering what month it is.

[onceuponatim3xo]

Oh, nevermind, I think my computer was just being stupid XD

my nano username is onceuponatim3xo just like my youtube one (:

[onceuponatim3xo]

Tom, great videos! Watching them has pretty much taken up my entire saturday :D

I'm so excited for nanowrimo! Are you doing it this year? If so what's your new username, the one you listed is old and won't let me buddy you ):

[kreebog]

GO GO GADGET NANO!

[okaysoya]

NANOWRIMO!!!!! woohoo!!! cant wait 21 more days!!!

[RayeOfSunshine93]

LOL! Is excited

[oddsocks9]

Wow, that is awesome. For a second there I thought you said it was in october, then I realised the truth, and November is spectacularly perfect for it (thesis due end of october, birthday end of November).

Awesome videos man, I got nothing done today because of you.

[wordencarne]

BEST NANOWRIMO AD-THING EVER! Oh my gosh! I'm so excited!

[moomootheuglyshoe]

oi veigh (that's how it's spelled in my head...)

i really want to write something for nanowrimo, but i haven't very many good ideas, and my ideas that are borderline brilliant just don't get across any of the points that i'd like to make in my first ever novel.

-sigh-

being an author is impossible.

[HiswillforJoel]

Where are my corn chips?

Jk. I'd rather write a novel, if I had the time.

[rebelfairy32]

Hahaha...YES!

NaNoWriMo. The reason why November is the best month of the year.

'Nough said.

[onceuponatim3xo]

Haha, I love that! "um... halloween?" YAWN

This will be my 1st nanowrimo and I'm excited!!!!!

[raffytaffy55]

HAHAHAHA

very funny, my friend

:D+<3

[allonoddy]

Burn those non-literary folk. Burn them all.

Good work.

[PhailureXD]

YES. Nanowrimo. xD

[culbrethcow]

uggh... i cant wait for november

this is why october is the worst month in the world.
