NaNoWriMo 2013

[Syt]

I'm in.

I'm not.

What's up with that, yo?

Writing is hard work. And I'm a lazy bum. So there.

Besides, 4 failed attempts at NaNoWriMo is enough.

Don't blame yourself. They gave it a horribly embarrassing name. If it were called something else, even I might have even written something. If the French underground had named their organization the super duper french underground and abbreviated it as SuDuFUn, then the Nazis would have won the war.

Nah, they'd have needed lame names for Operation Overlord and the Manhattan Project.

Tempting, always wanted to finish a novel, but I'm too much of a perfectionist and have too much other stuff I have to do in life.

I have an idea, just buy a book and tear out the last few pages.  Then write something and put it in on the end.

Well I'm doing fairly better than past attempts. Day 3 and I've over the minimum average for each day and it is only 1pm.

How many times do you have to be reminded, your posts on Languish don't count as literary output.

Thanks, love. But yeah even though quite prolific, I didn't count them.

Day 9 and still going strong. Haven't heard from my friend in a while though so it is totally possible that she has given up.

I did manage something I thought I was no longer able to do in this realm of constant over stimulation. I wrote for a straight hour doing nothing else but checking my word count.

All work and no play makes Kyle a dull boy?

Over 25k at halfway through the month. I wonder if it will get easier now that I've fewer words to write than I've already written....probably not.

Or you could pitch a 1,000 - 2,000 word article to a newspaper or magazine and get paid £200 - £1,000 for it, which rather answers that "Where's my motivation?" question when you sit in front of your keyboard every day. Just putting that out there.

I don't think anyone will be trying to offer me even a penny per word any time soon.

LOLZ, easier to win the daily Pick 3 than get those kinds of numbers with no credentials or publishing history.  Cold pitches go nowhere.
Gonna have to start with a few freebies in the local mailbox stuffer before you can make $30 for shit like like "Five Tips For Your Shorthair's Coat To Shine!" in Cat Fancy first.

Well, 1800 words during lunch today.

I really like this character. I'm going to enjoy writing about her.

Good going, sounds fun. I'm not going to try to write but good luck with it!

The most recent pep talk from the nanowrimo crew involves a hunger game metaphor.
