November is NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH

Hello, it's that time of year again! National Novel Writing Month dominates November for people all over the world. Especially people like me who volunteer to co-ordinate and encourage others, while still trying to achieve our average 1667 wordcount a day. In a nutshell, Nanowrimo challenges you to write 50,000 words of a novel over 30days.

Nanowrimo is awesome, fun, crazy, terrifying all at the same time. Interested? Huzzah! Sign up at http://www.nanowrimo.org if you haven't already. If you want to make it social (I recommend it... that third week, when the novelty wears off... socialness keeps me going!) find and join your local region, see what they're up to. Your ML(s) will probably be organising writeins and social events for congratulations, commiserations, encouragement and all the rest.

I'm an ML for my local region, but also offering my limitless energy here for Alfan Wrimos for word wars, personal pep talks, chattering about how much our stories suck or rule. Find me on the Nanowrimo website: Loulabellum

Some of you might have seen Swift's achievement of not only finishing a nanovel but also editing it and getting it to manifest in paperform. :shock: My goal, this year, is to be more like Swift!

Once more into Nanoland my friends!!

If you havn't done this before, you totally should. There is hardly anyone that has posted in the library that would not do well at NaNoWriMo. Join up, get social and write!

Huzzah!

I think Biddle's musings would come off as a crappy version of Faulkner's stream of consciousness. The world seen thru the eyes of a disturbed gnome...

I'm doing it this year. I am jealous of Swift's book and I want one of my own too!

Can you imagine how stocked with literary joy the library stockings could be for December and Christmas!?

Good luck nano-writers! I may just get the courage to join you this November. :)

Cheers,

Peter

P.S. We'll miss you while you're in retreat from your regular rp creativity, but the fruits will be sweet upon your return!

can you write an erotic thriller staring Biddle the gnome, as a serial killer with a penchant for the taste of human flesh - hearts in particular? Please do not refer to Biddle as a cannibal, humans are a distinct species.

Fine!

This will grossly interfere with my work but I will do it regardless!

Here's a list of our Nanonames for friending:

GrandFromage - GrandFromage
Rotku - Rotku
Rumple C - Renaissancenick
Swift - Siaer

Peter, Cloud, Heero? Did you guys sign up? Let me know your usernames so I can add them. I should probably edit the first post and put all our names there too.
