The Song Fight Bulletin Board

November is National Novel Writing Month.

http://www.nanowrimo.org/

30 days to write 50,000 words. I know a few songfighters gave this a shot last year. Anybody up for it this year?

I'm in, signed up and outlining a plot in my head I try to survive the business of this month. Hopefully November cuts me a little slack to try and finish this year.

Horror/Thriller genre for me.

Last year I started with what I thought was a pretty good opening sentence. It worked well enough; I got a 50,047 word book written. No masterpiece, but it's done anyway.
This year I have a situation in mind, and I'll see where it takes me.

I've signed up and am planning to do an album/novel. The only idea I have floating around so far is to use Songfight! titles as chapter titles.

My genre is "other." Hoop!

i said what the hell and signed up.

letting the killing and mocking of characters begin!

Me too! Mogosagatai is in on a similar concept too I think.

I hope Jute Gyte enters again and shares with us. It's better than a word-a-day calendar because those don't teach me new ways to refer to copper-colored excrement.

Thanks for the link Jim! I just signed up for this. I can't write for beans, but at least I've got a decent plot idea to start with....

I tried unsuccessfully to do this last year. I got about 6000 words and then we had a baby. Unfortunately there's no way I can do it this year, but I'm going to try my own personal CraNoWriMo in January, when I expect my schedule to ease up.

In an effort to get back into writing, I signed up.

Hooray for NaNoWriMo!

I have my first sixteen hundred words already.

What about you guys?

Just woke up. Gonna try and get my words for the day before I go to work.

Good luck, novelists!

EDIT: The first day is a pretty easy one. I'm at 1,825. I should have time to write a bit tonight, too. Woot!

I think the key to this is not to look to far ahead. Keep your head down and get your 1600. One foot in front of the other kind of deal...

i got in 1,370 last night. i really need to get better at writing chunks at a time. i usually only write about 1,000 words in a sitting. must give my character more things to do. maybe prostitutes?

Ugh. I had a big ouch trip to the dentist bright and early this morning, soI haven't written a thing yet. I'm looking forward to it tonight though.

I've got 4,361 words so far. But what happens in Chapter IV?! I don't know!

Aliens.

I've got eight thousand words and I'm still going strong.

I'm posting each day's worth of writing to a website to prevent me from going back and editing all the time. You can follow my progress at http://www.crushfeldspar.com/nanowrimo if you are so inclined.

Sodomy.

involving clowns.

i'm at just over 5,000 words. my story is turning out better than i thought it would.

I think I already gave up on this, I have about 2 paragraphs.

Just broke the 10,000 word mark. No aliens or sodomy yet, but it's early. My story does make mention of a band called The Undernaüghties though, and I may have to pen some songs for them.
