I love this! Why couldn't I have found it in October of last year when I was NaNoNewb?! I would have had this thing on freaking repeat just to keep my sanity.
I have written ONE Twilight fanfic, it was a humor one shot, give me a break.
LOL!!! That was epic! This is going to be my first Nano. If I get into a bad mood I'm going to watch this because I KNOW it'll put a smile on my face! XD *watches it again* HAHAHAHA!!! You rock!
This video is scrumptious! I'm going to put it on my facebook so everyone will quit being all "what the heck is NaNoWriwhatever and why on earth would you want to do that?"
You state that this effort is produce a novella. That's wrong. A novella is one term among several that have been used over the years to refer to fiction that is longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. The SFWA/Nebula Award criteria defines a novella as 17,500 to 39,999 words. A novel is a long piece of fiction. The actual length can vary greatly, but the SFWA/Nebula Award criteria specifies a length of 40,000 words and up.
Started today. Not going to submit it. Will do another next year. At 1,100 words. X: Have it all lined out, not sure how I want to place it out there.
I saw this video on the nanowrimo website. I like its peppy, happy tone and the visual inserts. I'm REALLY impressed by your mention of "Gadsby". I've known about this novel for years and have it on my book wishlist. But it's out of print so I'm out of luck. (I'm a book nerd which is the reason I got involved in nanowrimo.) So your video is a real winner and extra points for mentioning an obscure literary work.
I can't even beat an american in starcraft...

Loved it!
This year I will participate for the first time and I must admit i am very nervous.
That's the reason I'm checking out videos about NaNoWriMo at 2AM.
Believe it or not yours was very inspiring.
Thanks.
