Is anyone else doing National Novel Writing Month? *looks around* Bueller? Bueller? Well, I thought I would bring it up anyway. I'm doing it. I've had an original novel in my head for a long time that I just needed an excuse to get out. It also coincided well with the end of TNP S1. Hopefully I'll be able to get my novel done. I'm hoping this might be something I can publish eventually. |

Good Luck!
I am in school to be a novelist. The problem is I have ideas for five different novels. One of them is for a fantasy novel (knights and princes and princesses) that I have planned all the way through the end and the same thing goes for a novel about mythical creatures (such as vampires and werewolves and fairies and elves).
I have the starting point to a novel about pirates and I am hoping with this one to take what pirates were really like (instead of all the fiction there is about them) and turn it into a novel.
I also have two short stories I wrote in my Imaginative Writing class that I was thinking about fleshing out, the first one is about a person with a physical disability who turns out to also have a mental disability and the second one is about a kid who is dying because of epilepsy after being hit on the head.
These I think are all great ideas. But the problems I have are it is hard for my to not get caught up in reading because I love that just as much as writing, and I get so many ideas that it gets me off track of the present storyline.
Good luck with your novel.

So NaNo is over and I actually made my goal of 50,000 words... It was hellish, but I did it. Hurrah!
Now that I'm done, I'm already back onto TNP. You can see my LJ for an idea for an episode I had (no idea if it is going to actually make it onto the show, but I've cut it for spoilers anyway). I've also started to do some work on TNP DVD again.

I would say that it’s a huge accomplishment getting to 50,000 words. Out of the people that were participating in this from the various message boards I visit, only a few of them actually did make it.
It should be noted that a good chunk of the people who fell short still had fun with it. NaNo got them to write, and that’s really what they were lacking: motivation.
I kind of hope I'm up to do this next year. I do have an idea I want to try, mainly just for fun, but there’s no way in hell I was going to get 50,000 words on it, or anything else, in one month right now. Plus I'd like to have more experience first.
