- Writemotivation has it's next goal month where we put up goals and try to accomplish them.
- NaNoWriMo (aka National Novel Writing Month)
Being the psychotic individual that I am, I have decided to participate in both. Because, I have so much free time on my hands and all that. <--Sarcasm filled statement there if you hadn't noticed.
Luckily my goals for #writemotivation are the same for NaNo. Write 50K in one month. Hey! Stop laughing! I mean it!
Simple, write 50K on one story in one month...
That would be the case if I had written more on HJ. My goal for October was to finish it up and then start a new one with NaNo. I still plan on starting a new story for NaNo, but I don't want to stop writing HJ. Soooo...yeah...I'm...um...going to do both. Hey! I told you stop laughing! :-p
My main focus will be on my NaNo project, but I am not going to restrict myself to only that story. HJ needs to be written. It isn't a choice anymore. I have the end plotted, I just need to write it.
The end result will be, I will do my best on my NaNo project. I don't expect to actually hit 50K (even if I were solely focused on that story). My average is about 20K per month at the moment. If by some miracle, I do hit 50K I will probably fall over dead. I will keep writing HJ. It isn't a story I can ignore more than a couple days before I start going crazy...er...
So, if you are doing NaNo and want to add me as a writing buddy, my username is: DrewPy42. Look me up and laugh as I flounder through. I know I will be. I'm not going to stress over it. Hell, I'm not even entirely sure what I'm writing yet. I have two story ideas I'm considering. Both are SciFi and completely different from HJ (which I need them to be). One of them takes place in a Futuristic society that I mentioned here. The other story takes place on a colony ship that has been knocked off course and has been drifting through space for 100 years.
So, what do you guys think? I'll take your votes. It may not change my mind, but I'd be curious as to what you guys think. I know of one person who REALLY wants me to do the colony ship one.
'Till Next time.
Science Fiction. :D :D :D That Troubleshooters idea sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's been in my head for about 20+ years now. Just can't decide. I've got the beginning of the other one already in my head, so we'll see. :D Might need something lighthearted after the drama of my current WIP.
DeleteYou're insane.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I will say that I've given myself the goal of continuing to work on Stars for the Dead through the month of November - but I'm only requiring 200 words a day.
Everything else will be devoted to the current NaNo project :D.
Good luck!
Thanks! ;-D Of course, I'm insane. I will probably try and limit my writing on HJ to a bare minimum, but the MC is so freaking loud he's hard to ignore. Depends on how close I get by the end of the month.
DeleteOoo Futuristic Society! And I will be right there with you in all the crazy that November holds! Both NaNo and Writmotivation! We can be crazy together! =)
ReplyDeleteLOL. Yes, we can. :D Have you got your story idea figured out yet?
DeleteGlad to see you're doing it this year. WIsh me luck as well. I added you as a writing buddy on there.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Good luck! I know you can do it! :D I'll add you back. :D
DeleteI like Troubleshooters! But the other could be too. You didn't elaborate enough on that to grab my attention! :) I'm sure both will be fine.
ReplyDeleteBut to work on 2 novels at the same time...I started doing that. At least until one set of characters started screaming at me louder than the others. :)
Good luck on NANO. I can't do it...it's got numbers. But I'll be writing nonetheless....providing life is cooperative
I completely understand on the NaNo. I know you don't like numbers. :D As for the twice at once, it may turn into a finish up one and then plow into the second.
DeleteWow, it's no wonder you have a straight jacket for yourself... ;)
ReplyDeleteSince I'm planning to NaNo (but only ONE story), I guess I can go half way crazy along with you too.
Oh, and my vote is for the spaceship...
Write on!
LOL. I'm going to do my best to limit my writing on HJ during NaNo. We'll see if Julius cooperates or not.
DeleteI'm doing the same thing. There's no way I'm finishing SW before Nano, so I'm using Nano to give me a kick in the pants on it... then blasting into Top Hat. I'll probably work on both of them at once, SW when I have brain cells, Top Hat when I don't!
ReplyDeleteLOL. That's not a bad idea! :D That's why I'm leaning toward the future society one. HJ is very brain intensive, I don't think Troubleshooter will be so much.
