All right, my dears, we're almost to NaNoWriMo take off. Who's playing? What are your ideas? Have you ever tried it before, and ever won?

I'm playing. I don't know what I'm writing, except this year I am determined to win honestly. (I have won in the past. I have also counted schoolwork towards my words in the past.) I told my access list one thing, but that thing has a fundamental flaw in the vision that I haven't figured out how to fix yet and I have to know before I can start work on that novel. So it's probably going to be something different. What 'different' consists of, I truly do not know.

Good luck figuring it out! I really should figure out several more things myself before I start on Friday night.

Thanks!

I've never won, but I once had a fandom friend who won... but also included lots of song lyrics in her fic, and refused to use contractions, so her sentences would be something like, "I am not hungry" rather than "I'm not hungry", no matter how unnatural it sounded. But hey, ups your word count, right? Lol At least your word count was more legitimate, it's all your own writing, even if it isn't for the same project.

Sometimes I find it easier to write when I have only a very vague idea what I'm going to write about. It's more exciting when you yourself have no idea what the hell is going to happen! :)

Good luck!

Nodnod.
