#happy nanowrimo

Resigning myself to the fact that my November and December are all “schmooze until I raise a budget” months

#Happy NaNoWriMo #I can’t join you #filmmaking #filmmaker #nanowrimo

[fellshish]

i’m not doing nanowrimo i’m absolutely exhausted i’m doing nanowriless

#nanowrimo #the loophole took so much energy #it was satisfying i’m happy i wrote it but feel a bit. sad now

[radioactive-killjoy]

Let's be honest...my ultimate goal is to write an Aziracrow fic that inspires someone to make art for it.

#i could then die happy #like if someone made a cover for what im working on now? #itd be over for me #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #writing #nanowrimo #nano 2023 #good omens nanowrimo #good omens fic #good omens fanfic #good omens fanart

The last time I tried doing NaNo was over 10 years ago.

Back when I had neither husband nor children and had heaps of free time.

I think I tried it like 4 times/years, and never succeeded or won even once.

Not even a little bit. Not even close.

I really don't know what I'm thinking or expecting by trying again.

But hey--Hope Springs Eternal, right? :)

Best of luck to everyone doing NanoWriMo 2023! (Or some version of it.) Whatever happens, I hope you fare better than I (surely) will! <3

have really not felt like writing bc of the Mental Illness the last couple weeks. so today's pleasant surprise was opening a fairytale beginning and immediately being able to toss some words onto the page!

#amphi speaks #ofaoi updates #i am haunted still by the fact i have multiple chapters that are Ready to be posted but... i have not finished the next chrono chapter #because i am Still Stuck #am i doing too much lore? am i conveying the importance of the stuff within that chapter right? #i might also put a segment back into the chapter bc on reflection of a couple months since i reread the whole chapter it feels a bit -- #-- abrupt right where i cut a segment out #so i will need to go an retool it for the chapter so i can can get it to work with what i want #ANYWAY HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE #i'm gonna spend the evening doing sprints with my nanowrimo group

i finally hit 20K *confetti toss*

#jess does nanowrimo #i had a few days where i didn't write this but had to do GASP homework instead #but so far i've been really consistent and i'm happy with that! #at some point i will get these idiots on their fake courtship journey #this first draft is gonna be so LONG #also why did i make my heroine a horse girl when i know fucking nothing about horses? WHO KNOWS

BADGES

i hit 5k today (20% of my personal goal of a half-nano!) and now i'm going to edit one of my fanfic projects as a treat <3

#i'm so happy haha #and i even have a very vague idea of what has to happen next! #hopefully i manage to hit that 25k #i'll be very proud of myself if i do #nanowrimo #nettle talks

your cosmic call sign

pairings: steve/eddie, steve & the party; background relationships: dustin/suzie, mike/eleven, lucas/max     chapter count: 6/6     rating: t     summary: Steve looks up at the sky and sees stars. Eddie looks up at the sky and sees alien spaceships. It’s going to start with a graveyard shift, a midnight radio hour, and Dustin Henderson. It’s going to end New Year’s Eve, 1985—one way or another.     read the finale on ao3. start from the beginning here.

And love, well. Love is a very small thing. It slips through the slotted fingers of intertwined hands. He carries it out in a takeout bag from Benny’s. It’s the length of an episode of The Twilight Zone, not a second longer than a song recommended to him by a voice on his radio. It’s captured on 8mm. Only when he steps back and considers these tiny and insignificant acts together, does love reveal itself to be a vast sky of a million little stars.

#happy (belated) finale day! #this fic has consumed me body and soul and i am now ready to rest #(for like six hours because i have an exchange fic to finish) #my writing #stranger things #steddie #i realized in writing essentially all of this in the month of january #i technically 'won' nanowrimo #i'm going to say this makes up for me completely abandoning my project last november on like the third day

[readingwriter92]

Doing my own first semi attempt at NaNoWriMo in which I aim to do 50k but mostly just get a handful of stories I have been trying to write finished. Keeping this thread for accountability and motivation

Day 1:

Stories finished: 0

Word count: 622

Total: 622

#Sarah does Nanowrimo #not 1k but thats more than i've written in like. a month so #and it was fun and chill! and it didn't feel hard and yay! #I have maybe 3 OC things I want done #other thing is i wanted to start up again on some stuff for christmas #and then might do misc fic stuff as i get bored or need a break #this is an excuse to try and make myself just write without caring and uhhhh we will see #if i get to 30k ill be very happy #50k would be whack but we shall see #im not going to let myself be mad if i don't

does the name pavlov ring a bell

#nanowrimo #sona #sketch #comic #national novel writing month #anyway this is mostly about how last nano me and my gf had a series of coffee dates to write #and they were some of the days where i wrote the most #which made me very happy :)

[hellisheavenwithyou]

i've written over 4000 words today after being stuck in a rut for almost 2 weeks!🥳

#nano kinda put me in a rut so i was not expecting this today #i'm so happy #they're not all good words but they're words! #nanowrimo #writeblr #writing #writers of tumblr

[rnanqo]

it is like, sort of ridiculous how much easier nanowrimo has gotten over the years for me. i remember being in high school and just absolutely fucking gritting my teeth to get through the last few hundred words each day. extracting everything I had and discovering it was only like 30 words. having absolutely no idea what to do plot-wise. having absolutely no idea how people even thought of plots. because i just couldn’t! i couldn’t do it and i didn’t know why! I threw so many random events at those drafts because I could not conceive of any other way to build a story. and i struggled through the 50k each year somehow with like Herculean fucking effort, and don’t get me wrong I am very proud of little me, but im also mad it was so hard!

this year I can draft like 3-4 pages by hand, and type them up, and that usually gets me over 1667. if not, it’s not too hard to carry on from there. i am ahead. i have coherent ideas about what I am doing and how to get there. I have an ending and I can rotate a whole project in my head like a beautiful rotisserie chicken. this specific change is not due to years of writing experience. this is because i got properly medicated. i have actual working memory capacity now. i have the mental processing space necessary to write a coherent story, which I didn’t even know was something i was missing. the difference is boggling. i just thought i naturally struggled with big-picture stuff and that would never change. no bitch!!! i have a goddamn motherfucking neurological disorder

#like I am happy it is so much easier now #but I’m so mad I worked so hard on trying to understand plot when it never stuck because….I needed a functioning working memory #hahah. #nanowrimo

[mitchell-nihil]

wrote 1352 words today, feeling like nano might be possible. i write when i don't want to and eventually i have a good idea or two and manage to make some words up.

#writing #writeblr #nanowrimo 2023 #we'll see how nano goes #my goal is 50k but my minimum happy goal is 30k

Hey guys, I finally got around to editing the final draft of the novel I wrote for NaNoWriMo 2021!

If you want to check it out, it's available as an ebook for £1.99 here :3

There's a blurb/summary for you to read on the page, but just for the hook: if you like cozy/low stakes summer fun, mermaids, selkies, sea monsters, confused bi girls, and fantasy that's kinda sorta set in the 'real' world then you might like Seaglass!
