"Registration"?

No, thanks.

Sorry.... orz

It was the registration that got you, not the "you have to write a 50,000 word novel in a month"?

6 Name: 4 2005-10-03 17:02 ID:Heaven

>>5
Yup. Registrations just piss me off and I am not going to write someone else a novel with bugmenot!

You don't have to register, you can write a novel anyway. Registration is so they will have an accurate count of the number of writers.

8 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-03 19:23 ID:AP5aH+kH

>>7
Why is accurate count of writers important?

9 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-03 20:14 ID:Heaven

>>8
It's also so that they can verify word count of what you write and put you on the winners page if you make it to 50,000. Which is just icing on the cake, according to them. Also, since the project is apparently about building community through shared toil and suffering, I guess it makes sense to have a registered membership. And of course, it's nice to know how many people are participating any given year.

Our Goal:
$110,000

Current amount
$62

LOL. But seriously, what's stopping me from unveiling my 50,000 word novel I wrote before hand?

11 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-03 22:04 ID:Heaven

>>10
The idiocy of the idea of cheating at a contest with no discernable prize, especially when writing the novel beforehand defeats the entire benefit of participating, all while going to all the trouble of writing a 50,000 word novel anyway?

That said, it probably has been done in the past.

12 Name: not 1 2005-10-03 22:14 ID:/0JySKF9

Right, how many of you guys are seriously, and i mean 'i'm gonna try my best'-seriously, serious about this?

ps. serious business

pps. if you're serious about this, what are your literary influences? what are you reading now? have you decided on a form/frame/style yet? have you written anything before? etc.

13 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-03 22:26 ID:gVh/GHT5

I failed miserably at this last year but I am planning to give it another try. Think I will fictionalize the Second Voyage of Bering (the one with Steller)- since there's little actual creative effort in that, it ought to be easier.

14 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-03 23:53 ID:p2p1ecBE

The number would be much higher, but the server crashed as you can read in the site news.

Currently I am planning to write an otaku version of the Canterbury Tales. It'll be awesome if I can pull it off. If that falls through and I have the time to start over, I'll write some lousy netrunner story instead.

15 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-04 01:12 ID:Heaven

>>5
Considering where you are, should this surprise you?

Maybe I should finally give this a shot this year. Guess I have a couple of weeks to start thinking of ideas.

I agree with this guy.

Too lazy to reg :(

17 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-04 05:56 ID:NVs+bTAP

I want so see someone "seriously" do >>2.

If you can't work with that, you don't belong near a pen.

18 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-08 07:06 ID:l+vc5www

I just saw that it was "National" - so it's for US residents only?

19 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-08 08:14 ID:Heaven

>>18
It's definitely world-wide, I think it's just outgrown its own name. Check the forums, they've got specific boards for all sorts of foreign countries.

BUMP

21 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-18 22:36 ID:h0dtUrlQ

>>20 should've did something clever yet overused, so that I could've responded with "I SEE YOU!"

You fucked up.

I'm thinking about working on this. Who knows what I'll write, it'll probably be something weird involving video games.

22 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-19 02:37 ID:e7J6OMMH

I'm going to write some sick shit.

23 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-20 06:39 ID:h0dtUrlQ

High five!

24 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-29 05:14 ID:p2p1ecBE

25 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-29 05:29 ID:jTIGXX9S

NaNoWriMo... I'm tempted. I might sit down and write some 'sick shit' too :D

It is now November. We had better get to work.

31 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-09 02:28 ID:p2p1ecBE

If you're starting now it's too late, unless if you have the next three weeks free.

I tried writing but failed at 1,000 words; I'm too busy this year. Better luck in 2006.

32 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-09 15:12 ID:wSEnVWF3

God, this nanowrimo shit's hard

33 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-09 15:22 ID:nHNhtAlK

How do people write a story? I narrated to myself the beginning of a fairly good story yesterday but I can't get it to paper no matter what!

34 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-09 15:35 ID:kbiS4MJA

What I find intimidating about writing is the amount of knowledge you need to have about your subject.

35 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-09 18:13 ID:Quo420g1

What I find intimidating about it is making believable characters

36 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-09 19:56 ID:e7J6OMMH

The way to write a story is to make yourself write, and write, and write, and just force it all out. Then, look at your output the way a reader would look at it. Prune and change things until, as a reader (NOT AS A WRITER!), you feel it is a story you like to read.

This can take years!

37 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-09 20:06 ID:e7J6OMMH

Oh and >>28, it is hard to shit out 2,000 words a day :(
Every year I am only able to write less and less for Nanowrimo, isn't that weird?

38 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-10 00:58 ID:Heaven

I'm gonna try to do this even though I have not started yet. If I fail, well, I'll just keep writing until December 9. Fair's fair.

39 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-10 02:44 ID:p2p1ecBE

Show us your previous work!

40 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-10 04:29 ID:Sjbwff8b

>>39 I agree, >>37 should show previous work!

41 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-11-12 04:17 ID:p2p1ecBE

Hi people. I've just poured a bowl of hot grits down my pants!

43 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-12-01 22:24 ID:jTIGXX9S

NaNoWriMo is over.. so, did anyone actually write anything??

44 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-12-02 23:21 ID:wSEnVWF3

45 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-12-04 23:04 ID:Heaven

46 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-12-10 01:03 ID:kqQmv2JR
