NaNoWriMo buddies?

Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo want to be friends? I'm on there as Candyland, because I am woefully uncreative like that *laugh* Pleez to be making friends, yes? *luvs on everyone*

We should do a support group for it--I'd host it right here. That'd be fun--see how far along everyone is, how frustrated, what plot-hole has just been discovered, the great idea that just bit, and how many keyboards have been destroyed by repeated headdesking again them. Although if someone has actually smashed their head into their keyboard enough to break it, we're going to need a different type of support group ^^;;

But anyway, I have my initial idea for my novel. I just have to develop it into a full, comprehensive plot. So this month's project is to get ahead on fics and get some sort of an outline together--fortunately, I have fall break duty, so I'll have a few days with absolutely NOTHING to do, sitting around on campus ^_______^ Here's hoping for the best!

Oh, and I preordered the dub release of the first Conan movie, right? Well, when I checked it on Monday, it said I was on backorder *sigh* Then I checked it again yesterday, and it said it was "Reserved for my order." @_@ I just want it to get here soon!! *flails*

All I have is a short-of plot based off of this dream I had back in December of last year (which can be found here). And that's pretty much all I've got. >.>;;; Not gonna outline or anything because I tried that with Haven (my first NaNo attempt) and...yeah...my brain thinks that writing and finishing the story via outline = finished telling the story. ...I'm just retarded, okay? XD;;;

Like I said before: won't be signing up until the 8th. Tradition of a sort ^__^;;;

But I fully support the support group thing! I'll even offer up my LJ for it, too. :D

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

That would make an AWESOME story! I'd enjoy reading it ^_^

My idea is really underdeveloped, so I want to at least get some ideas down on paper so I have something to refer to, and an idea of where I'm going with it all. 'Cause I'm not even sure yet ^^;;

*small voice* You're already on there. I friended you...

Okay, the support group will be on! *dances* This could be a lot of fun! We shall get each other through it...*now has a vision of everyone's comments starting with the statement, "My name is Jeva, and I'm doing NaNoWriMo." And everyone's response comments are, "Hi, Jeva!" *headdesks*

Sign me up! How far am I? I think I have a really solid idea and I vaguely outlined it during band the other day. It may actually not suck.

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2006-10-05 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
YAY!! I need to put together an outline for mine, too...or at least get some thoughts on paper to see where I want to go with it =P

Might take a whack at it this year - maybe I'll target MORE than 1000 words for starters...

Ah, whatever! Count me in! *heads off to see if my username from last year still works*

[identity profile] candy--chan.livejournal.com 2006-10-05 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)

I think I've friended you there now! And I'll make a point to drop by the support group - methinks I'll be needing it!
