I may not be able to make it to 50k, but at least I'll get further than I've ever gotten with my writing. I've started several stories, but I always seem to get sidetracked or lose interest after a few weeks. 9 days seems perfect to me (plus I have extra time because I don't work Wed.

Are you just... being silly? I mean, obviously, these people are writers and still manage to read? Why would you just assume that a group of people setting out to write for a month don't read? That just seems rude and judgmental to me. Like so many people in my regional NaNoWriMo group, who are all amazing people that have been so very both encouraging and inspiring throughout this whole crazy process, I write BECAUSE I read. The whole reason that I started writing was because I wanted to touch and inspire others in the same way that my favorite stories had. The stories that I read (as well as the music that I listen to and the art that I both see and create) continue to influence and inspire my own writing. So, this notion of NaNoWriMo somehow DETRACTING from reading just seems preposterous to me. Yes, it is generating more writing, but there are already more written words than you could ever possibly read in one lifetime! And just because the Sistine Chapel has been painted, the great symphonies composed, and the most amazing literature written does not mean that you should EVER stop creating beauty through art in this world. We need more beauty, not less.Caligulahttp://caligula.codexed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-21777401613138220762010-11-20T16:25:28.636-05:002010-11-20T16:25:28.636-05:00Started and bailed after a couple of weeks due to ...Started and bailed after a couple of weeks due to other priorities, but it's not for me. Love the concept, but I can't vomit words onto a page. When I write, I need to be able to make changes along the way -- that slows down the process. Perhaps with time, I will be able to free flow and turn a deaf ear to my internal editor, but not now. I applaud those who can do it and come up with something they are proud of.eden bayleenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-24590257351236003682010-11-20T13:04:30.598-05:002010-11-20T13:04:30.598-05:00Oh, and my 11 year old daughter participated in th...Oh, and my 11 year old daughter participated in the YWP for the first time.

To lose my inner editor (even if I only give him the slip for a month) has been completely liberating. I've also met some lovely new people, which is never a bad thing. If nothing ever becomes of my NaNo project, then I will still have gained an awful lot by taking part - my only regret is that it seems to have a certain stigma attached to it (mainly on Twitter), which is a great shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-27759531735316718992010-11-20T11:55:54.162-05:002010-11-20T11:55:54.162-05:00This is my first NaNoWriMo and I've never writ...This is my first NaNoWriMo and I've never written this much in my life.

I can just dive into a new project, headlong, without the fear of how well it is going to look to other writers or readers, much less a publishing company, because it is only a first draft.<br /><br />For me, a first draft is the absolute hardest the get out, so NaNoWriMo is a wonderful opportunity for me.
