That cover is absolutely gorgeous!
I personally am not doing nanowrimo. I don't have the time, nor the ideas. I might try and write something just for fun, but there is no way I could ever finish a legit nanowrimo story. | |

| TEGAN, MY LOVE ! That cover is gloriously wonderful. I adore it.
Also, YAY DIZZY!
And PSH KAT. The point is that you don't have enough time, you have to force yourself to have enough time and then you go just a little bit crazy. None of my nanowrimo stories will ever be legit, but I'll write them anyway, because it's always for fun.
I have a main character and she has a name, but no story. So I should probably work on my plot a little bit before November. | |

Hah, I reached 10,000 words last year, but well over half of those words were rambles about zombie octopi and baby dragons or something. I can't really remember xD - KATARAMA! wrote:

If by "legit nanowrimo story" you mean well written, good grammar, spelling, and meter, rhythm and rhyme, you really need to be introduced to the true meaning of NANOWRIMO - annnnd fuck you. wrote:

Pst, write a story about talking bricks if you have to.
THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENTS MY LOVELY BUTTERFLIES! MWAH! MWAH! I also think that you should know that when it comes to nanowrimo, the most important thing is your cover. Forget word count. Forget friendly rivalry. Make sure that your cover is PERFECT, and you'll be sure to CONQUER WIN!
Also, I am reading all of your stories. You can read mine. And then we'll squeal over some of the hilarious plot twists and typos we made during that month of hell.
And we love hell so much | |

| I'd do NaNoWriMo but with a new school and everything this year, I'd rather not. I've had a storyline for a good, worthwhile novel since last October but I think I'm going to take my time with it this year and work on it for a while instead of rushing it in one month. Plus, I still need to finish my fanfic story that's going to end up being almost twice as long as Breaking Dawn. *sigh* Oh, the writing woes. Anyway, good luck to all of you who do it! I hope November passes without any writing induced insanity. | |

| I dunno if I'll do it or not.
I never fail to have ideas, and good ones, but it's the concentration skills and actual DESIRE to write a novel that will just sit on my computer 'till the end of days-I lack. | |

| i can't wait for nanowrimo. really, it is the one thing that i think i deserve most in my life and i just want november to begin so i can become a different person. tegan. that book cover is so gorgeous, i love the coloring on the background. really it's not that bad, you just have to write 3,000 words for 30 days. not that hard, i finished in seventeen which was definitely a bad choice, but seriously. it's so much fun i still haven't looked at the story from last year. now that was definitely a disaster, but i am really excited for it to start this year. | |

| Yay for dreams!
And I have a plot! Sort of. I'm so happy! I ditched the plot that I made the cover up there for. I'm not sure how I'll make a cover for this one. But it's starting so soon!! How are you guys faring? | |

| Could be better, could be worse. My plot is currently very vague--I have ideas, but whether I can make them go anywhere or not is the real question. I love my main character, one of the few characters that I seem to understand in my story... and one of the few that exists >.< Since I don't have a clue what I'm doing, I stuck to what I know and made a playlist for my book today, and read instead of outlining, like I was planning. My excuse is that I would procrastinate using it during November if I did not now. I am sorry your charries are being mean to you, Nanabear | |

| lol I adore it, as you already know, Twirlz. ^.^ Lol, my playlist seems to be made pretty much entirely of The Bravery, Ludo, The Hush Sound, Green Day, the Kooks, OK Go, Death Cab for Cutie, The Decemberists, Rise Against, Cage the Elephant,... *just decides to stop, before the lists gets going* If only my novel was solely song lyrics. I could totally pull that off | |

| I've decided that I'm using lyrics as chapter titles. Because I could totally pull that off. But I need a title and a plot, now | |

| 1. Bree, your location wins so much, you have every idea.
2. My plot has flesh! It's growing! And I'm not going to tell you what it is. You should have listened to the intense divulging session on the chatbox when only Bree and I were online, so there. Plus, you probably already know most of it.
3. I am morally opposed to chapters during Nanowrimo, mainly because they take so much thought to decide what each chapter will be composed of and how to choose when it'll finish and etc. I will find a more creative way to segment my book if at all.
4. I need to make playlists, but first I need to download songs like crazy. Right now I have 1394 songs, and counting. Really truthfully I'm downloading all of the songs that I have on Cherise so that I can sync her again (long, terribly sad story), but it comes at a perfect time. Plus I have downloads to spare!!! Yay! I am so clever! And amazing!
5. I have a title, but I'm not sure that I like it. It's a working thing.
6. I also need a cover. Oh, the effort. Twirls, your cover is absolutely fabulous <33
7.My dog is just sleeping with one little paw under his chin and it's the most adorable thing ever.
8. I'M GONNA LIVE FOREVER! I'M GONNA LEARN HOW TO FLY!

| 1. no it totally does not tegan, there's so many towns and i'm going insane with these characters!
2. it was totally epic last night, like holy cow! al makes me laugh so hard.
3. my story has to have chapters, it will just make my life so much more easier. i think that's what i'm going to do today. distance myself away from the computer, work on my homework and plan out chapters. and possibly do a sketch of evra in there.
4. my playlist atm is jack's mannequin even though it doesn't fit my story
and my teeth hurt :/ | |

| 1. Well, I meant your location which says SUNNYDALE, CALIFORNIA. Although your book towns are pretty freaking awesome too, there is nothing that beats Sunnydale.
2. I know. I ended up writing out my whole plot, and now I've got some good twists to throw in there. I find what really helps me suss out what's going on is to just write everything down in one big, massive thing of massiveness.Like, you'll write out the plot that you have so far and while you're writing that, you get right down into the character descriptions and their relationships with the other characters. I wrote a lovely 3-4 page thing of loveliness last night, although I still don't know some of the important stuff, like why Álkimos is on earth (he has to have a mission, otherwise ANGEL wouldn't bother sending out their high levels. You can't really kill a pure demon, as far as I know. Just flaw its plans.
3. While I don't need chapters, I should do a timeline. And learn to draw hot, sexy guy, yespleaseee.
4. I finely got the DJ Boonie songs I was trying to download last night. I love the fast past techoness of it. I downloaded Jack's Mannequin too, which I never would have looked at twice if it wasn't for you
