NaNoWriMo

[AppyLover]

Never attempted to write a novel before, always wanted to but never sat myself down to do it.

This past Oct. I learned of http://www.nanowrimo.org/ and decided to use it as an incentive to try... I am proud to say I actually won with over a 52,000 word count. I start the revisions and the editing this month, don't know if I will submit my book for publishing, but it was sure fun to write. :D

YouTube- The NaNoWriMo Song - Music Video!

Song I've found on youtube relating this, I love this user etc so I watch and subscribe to her, this song might keep you going in times when you find it hard to write :)


I would love to have done it. Maybe next year. And if I have time!
And congrats! 50k of words is amazing (:

I didn't do Nano this year, but I did 4 years ago. My son was only 2 1/2 months old when I did it. I finished it before Thanksgiving!! It's quite a feat isn't it!! Congrats on finishing!!!!!! I never did do NaNoFiMo (National Novel Finishing Month. . .lol. I edited for many many months and got so tired of the story I stopped. lol. What was is your book about?

[AppyLover]

Thanks for the video Allie that was awesome.

Ew thanks. I feel good finishing it, like it was not as impossible as I originally thought writing would be. I chose to write a sci-fi, with a military hero, a psychotic scientist, a bad arse heroin and can not forget the aliens...lol

[Equine_Woman]

Lol, that's great!! Did you compete in any word wars? I remember that was one of my favorite parts! lol. Writing, when it's flowing, is very therapeutic!

[Vegashorselady]

Congrats Appy! You're novel sounds fun. I'd like to try that...one of these years when life slows down a little, lol.:rolleyes:

I did Nano last year, but unfortunately with the new job - this year just wasn't happening. I did win and used the self-publishing route. I am working on finalizing my last edit (still) and will start promoting it soon. I did sell a several copies of the first addition and I've had quite a few requests for a 2nd book. I am hoping to go a more traditional route for publishing for my next one.

Congrats on winning!

[AppyLover]

No word wars for me. lol

That is very cool Cat, I am considering going the self publishing route if I decide to publish. Still not fully sure yet. I am just happy to have another creative hobby. Congrats on the book by the way and good luck with the final edit. I am still sitting on my first draft plan on starting the editing process in about a week or so, I need time to let my brain cool off, lol I am fried after November.

[Horserider]

I can't believe I missed this thread! This was my first year doing NaNo officially (I might have done it last year, before I even knew NaNo existed) and I made it. :)

[AppyLover]

Congrats. I had tons of fun and even have taken writing up as a hobby now. :D Next year here I come. I am hoping to one day follow Cat and get a book self published just for the fun of it, but I don't know yet. We will see what the editing stages bring on. lol

It was a crazy month but it was SOOOO much fun. And the accomplished feeling at the end was awesome! In the words of Nike "Just do it." :D You won't regret it.
