Checking the playlist for writing : a good beginning. Next time, checking what should be into the different chapters. And the plan. Of course. Ahem.

I'm curious, will you all make a plan before starting this NaNo or not ? :) I assume it may be more difficult to do it without one because we only have one month ? Hello, I hate making plan before writing but trying to do it last year was a potential cause of good results.

I always plan before NaNo, and it shows. So I'd say planning is a good thing, even though it's hard to do.

When I write, I usually like to have a very good feel for the characters, if nothing else. I've tried to write out plots in advance, but it usually only ends up lasting me 10,000 words or so. But with good characters I can fly by the seat of my pants and make up stuff pretty well, I think. I don't know, that's just me ;D

Eep!  NaNo is coming and I have no idea what story I want to write!  I was thinking of trying a mystery, but I'm not sure if the characters feel alive enough to make it work.

You still have a month and half to take a decision, all is all right if you have too many possibilities :)

No, I understand ^^

- I don't know yet, the characters will tell me.

I went to my NaNo page, nothing is possible for now. But I'll add you if you want :)

Nearly the same for me, Mélusine Gwenhwyfar, with my first avatar here :)
Please don't pay attention to... errr... what happened last year. I have a good explication for that.

I added both of you! My username there is Bookwormbeth6 if anyone wants to add me. :)

I'm so excited for NaNoWriMo this year! Except that I have no characters. And I have some important things that I haven't figured out yet. *scurries off to conspire plan*

I keep being like "I don't knooww"... This will be taking place during a big fic exchange I want to participate in, is it possible that I will be able to handle both at once?!

(No)
(That would be a terrible idea)

But maybe it wouldn't hurt to try anyway. :Va

And if you write your fic for your NaNo ? (Let me guess : not enough pages for the fic regarding to the Nano's rules ?)

Well, it's for an event that finishes in December, and the minimum wordcount is 1000 words. So, it doesn't match up very well, no.
But maybe I could do both... *_*

My username is also Jethan over there, and for some reason I have no avatar.  And I'm trying to figure out if I should write a story idea I have now because it might be short, or if I should just wait for NaNo to do it...

Yaaaaay! Nanowrimo is coming up! Whenever people ask me why I'm excited for fall (the holidays? the food? the changing leaves?) I always have a dilemma, because NaNoWriMo is my favorite part, and nobody knows what it is. XD

Anyways, I don't actually know what I'm doing this year. I usually write scripts and the past two years have been awful and... yeah, I don't know what I'm doing yet.

(And my username is "the grand duck". Add me. I'm adding all of you.)
