Anyone on here doing NaNoWriMo this year?

[Colinllama]

I have started a new story, so hopefully I will have something new to post on here shortly.

For those that don't know what it is look here: https://nanowrimo.org/

Basically is is a challenge, write a 50000 word novel, in the 30 days of November. That breaks down to 1667 words a day, it sounds easy, but once you fall behind it becomes a steep hill to climb!

 

[wimbledon]

I average 700 words a week, so...

Not a chance, lol

 

[Vnator]

Ooh, ooh, I am! I also have a brand new story that's all about spies in a fantasy setting. I'm afraid it's got a slow start to it since I haven't gotten a single comment on it yet, but the character interactions are top tier imo. And there should be some good action starting in a few chapters.

Take a look! https://www.scribblehub.com/read/908152-hero-intelligence-agency-fantasy-spycraft/chapter/908154/

not officially or anything, but i've been writing 2000-3500 words a day for the last two weeks. And i really don't plan to stop any time soon.

I'm not evil, so no.

Definitely not doing that. I have a job, as well as clinical depression.
This puppet struggles too much with motivating itself to avoid spilling of stuffing to be able to motivate itself to write that much.

@Voidiris?

No. I just have this feeling in the back of my mind that NaNoWriMo is evil. I don't really have any proof, but it feels sinister.

 

[ParticleOfSand]

If this was back in summer, this would be easy since I wrote 3k words per day. Now, its going to be close since I have school and low motivation.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I have a toddler, and I'm taking it on a road trip, so no.

 

[Yairy]

I'll think about it.

I'm evil but I don't write novels (for now).

 

[Rezcore]

I don't do challenges anyways. It's challenging enough for me to get to sleep, or get out of bed. Besides, with my job, I probably pump out more than 10K words a month... not that it gets published. I hate it.

 

[Azure_Fog]

I could do it probably… but the amount I write varies from nothing ti a few sentences to whole chapters in a day…

 

[Corty]

Well, working on three books weekly, I am clocking around 80-90 thousand words per month. So... Yes?

Three chapters in. We will see how it goes

 

[mxx.trash]

I'm writing short stories for it. Just to get into the habit of writing more often.

I probably managed the goal of about one chapter a day for a month when I was writing one of my novels.

I hate the 50,000 word limit though. Managed about 80,000 words for that book.

Hell, at 156 pages so far with my current, I'm already at nearly 80,000 words. I find word count challenges to be a bigger pain than speed writing tbh.

No. I just have this feeling in the back of my mind that NaNoWriMo is evil. I don't really have any proof, but it feels sinister.

I think the idea of reducing books to word count is evil. Books ought to be determined by page count. If you write a bunch of short choppy words, you'll wind up with a high word count, but reducing the number of pages to have a book fit to a shelf is far easier than trying to figure what in your book to cut without creating massive plotholes or making it feel rushed.

I wish I can, but I write so slow
