NaNoWriMo warning.... it is almost October
« on: September 27, 2011, 05:56:37 AM »
It is that time of year again, time to start plotting. Or at least to shake out those pants you fly in. Grin

This year we not only have to contend with LosCon, but Elder Scrolls V comes out on 11-11-11.

It like they are all out to get me.......

Have fun,
Kevin

Both are very relevant. Though I must give it to lost in space.

I think I'm going to work on the manuscript I failed to finish for NaNo Summer Camp.

I love the idea of national writing month, but why does it have to be in November? November is a crowded is a crowded month already.

I've always thought it was a lousy month for it too, fwiw.  Autumn is a downer.

I will be spending the next couple of months, hopefully, chewing my way through the last of the line-edits on The Thing I Should Be Working On and sending it back, doing a quick polish on the first volume of The Thing I Want To Be Working On and seeing to sending it off, and finishing the second volume of that, which was about two-thirds done when the line-edits came in as a priority interrupt.   This probably won't come anywhere near 50kwords new, but with luck it will leave a 130kword novel and a 100kword novel in fighting trim at the other end.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

I think I'll be cheating as well. I've got around 10 or 15k of a novel in progress already and I dare not start another project for NaNoWriMo.

I will be unable to participate.  It's hunting season(In WI and MI where my family owns land)  Daisho Con(Which I am on the board of directors for and we have Scott Lynch and Pat Rothfuss coming again) and Thanksgiving.  That said, in October I'm doing a trio of short stories in hopes I can get said authors to take a look at them.

I just realized that I can get kids I work with to do this.  That could be a ton of fun...  If I do it right.  otherwise it will be hell.  But still.
