Well, my first NaNoWriMo ever... And I'm out of ideas!!
I had one story that I thought I could write, but I decided it would look so much better in webcomic format, and now I'm left with no inspiration whatsoever... D:
I might as well write whatever comes to my mind when I open the new document...

Good luck to all of us!

You could try scripting the webcomic? And there's a bunch of us just doing worldbuilding-type writing, so that might also be something useful for comics-to-be (that is the projected future of 99% of my projects, anyway...).

I thought about doing something like this... It's just that my perfeccionism insists that I must write a COMPLETE novel with a perfect story and nothing less.

But I think I'll need to kick my perfeccionism aside and just go with it. Maybe I'll do some worldbuilding too, I really like the idea. :D

For NaNo, you absolutely do have to let go of perfection. If you're writing that much in one month, it won't happen unless you can let go and just write as much as you can. (And Worldbuilding, woo! I love it!)

During the NaNo, you can't :) Or you're really, really brilliant. Just write ! You'll have a lot of time to make the story perfect after, you'll have the story written ! :D

I am not yet ready! Since I'm going to continue the story I wrote during last NaNo I have to read through it before I can begin. 145 pages!

...why didn't I start earlier? ;_;

Could you just read the last pages/chapters, just to remember where you stopped, in order to begin ?
(I would blame procrastination *Had begun to write her plan properly because in small handwriting in a small notebook it wasn't the best. Two days ago. Hadn't finished despite it's so simple to do it...*)

Soon soon soon... Are all of you ready ? :)

Oh gosh, I'm so not ready! I keep thinking there is another week in October but there isn't.

smaller handwriting in a larger notebook is so much better, I can testify ;) (it was also *even neater* which serves to make things easier to read)

*Tries to look perfectly innocent*
Small handwriting has an advantage : people can't read behind my shoulder ^^ But I'm in the moment I think "Wait, this scene, had I wrote it on my notebook, or not ? And if yes, in which chapter will it go ?" (Procrastination, I hate you.)

noooo, just reading the last pages wouldn't been enough!
...okay, it probably would, but my writing is so awesome that I wanted to read all of it! Also it was a good reminder of what part I had already written and what parts still needs to be written. I also found a lot of places where I can add more words if I get stuck so cheers!

I'm not ready.  I have a main character, and everything else is going to have to come from listening to the Halo soundtrack.  My worldbuilding project is now my back-up plan if I get really stuck.  Still 2 hours before I can write!
Good luck everyone, write happily!

You can do it! I believe in you!




For me I've done thirty minutes of writing and have almost archived 600 words. Not bad for a not as inspired day for writting. Now I think I'm going to sleep now.

I was trying to focus on writing but then I ended up in the chat and got distracted! Oh well, there are a couple hours left today, I will reach the wordgoal!

If anyone wants wordwars or just whining about their stories I am hanging out in our Minnion writing chat and will stay there for a the rest of the day (with a short break for a walk). The original chat also works, but I figured maybe we shouldn't clog that up too much with our storytalk :P

does anyone know a good writing tool that would save my files online (in case I change devices)? I'm using google drive but it's less than perfect u.u
