apocalypsosOkay, with a week left ... a show of hands. Who's doing NaNoWriMo? And just of curiosity, do you know what you're writing yet?
Personally, I've got a title, characters, and a location. A plot, however, is something I'm sorely lacking at this point. And yay, only a week to pull one out of thin air. But at last I have a very tiny purple stapler, with very tiny purple staples. :)

Date: 2004-10-26 05:25 pm (UTC)On the 1st of November this year, I shall upload my carefully crafted icon, labelled 'YOU ARE ALL INSANE OMG!' It has a picture of a brain with an axe in it.
But, y'know... good luck and all ;)

Date: 2004-10-26 05:55 pm (UTC)NaNo 2001 was during my junior year of undergrad, with a week-long transatlantic trip during which I wasn't writing. (10k. About angels.)
NaNo 2003 was during my first year of grad school, and I got so bored and frustrated, I started randomly killing off characters. (Gaw. Not even 10k, I think.)
I have decided to save the crazy writing endeavors for sometime when I don't have sixty pages of scholarly writing to do. I plan on spending this November laughing at other people a lot. And I'm going to have to take a gander at your icon come November.

Date: 2004-10-26 05:45 pm (UTC)The great thing about my idea is that I don't need a plot, setting, or specific characters.
Rock on.

Date: 2004-10-26 05:54 pm (UTC)Borders has tiny scented highlighters, too. I want. I want so bad, and I have no reason to own them. But they're tiny, and they're scented. *covets*
I spend waaaaaay too much time in Border's notebook aisle.

Date: 2004-10-26 05:54 pm (UTC)Actually, I'm doing real prep this year. I haven't got much of a plot either, but I'm using a technique I keep hearing about (scenes on notecards) to do it, so I'm hopeful.
(I have basic info cards divided into categories, divided into stuff like "GHOSTS (malevolent)", "GHOSTS (annoying)" and "BIT PLAYERS")

Date: 2004-10-26 06:04 pm (UTC)I have characters, a semblence of a plot, and a plan for a lot of really short chapters. We'll see how it goes.

Date: 2004-10-26 06:13 pm (UTC)I'm doing NaNoWriMo!
I have a title (sort of, because it sucks), and characters (kind of), and a vague idea of location, and a PLOT (or at least sort of one), and even SUBPLOTS. And I have a journal for it! Because I'm a dork.
But I don't have a tiny purple stapler with tiny purple staples. *cries*

Date: 2004-10-26 08:50 pm (UTC)Psst. Borders, notebook aisle, five bucks for the little set. And they come with a tiny purple staple remover, a tiny purple tape dispenser, and a tiny purple hole puncher. :)

Date: 2004-10-26 06:18 pm (UTC)I thought I knew what I was writing - a longtime story of mine that I'd never had a chance to really write down - but I think I'm switching to a sort of Chaucerian fairy tale type novel - something completely new. This is all very sketchy, but so it goes, eh?

Date: 2004-10-26 06:22 pm (UTC)But I have the barest outline of a plot. It's going to be a historical, so I'll have all the actual historical figures running around being interesting. I just don't have more of a plot than "Battle of Halidon Hill" plus "Woodsy Girl" plus "Knight that doesn't realize his job sucks yet."
Fucked? Me? Kinda yeah. And I need a title.
