NaNoWriMo 2009

But Twilight doesn't have a giant wave of custard, does it?! Hmm... I'll need a few more ideas other than a giant wave of custard... Cats, a ham sandwich, a "hammy" romance and a bad pun for a title. I think all the characters will be various food items.

Wow! My story is already shaping up to be complete nonsense! And I'm going to try to give it some variety of deeper meaning. Now the question, what is all this food commenting on?

 

I'm gonna try. But I bet I give up pretty quickly. I HAVE DEDICATION!

 

the ham is a teenager and all the other foods are trying to prove that the youth f today is losing respect for the older generations.

 

I'm gonna do it. Last year i got to 30 000, so heres hoping I'll make it this year.

 

I'm thinking of doing it. But I have exams from the 6th of November til like the 28th... :\

 

So I've been thinking about it for a while and I realized I really want to write something with a message. I want to craft something that is more than the sum of its pages, but, seeing as I'm a naïve teenager, that leaves little doors open for interesting material. So I'm going to write from what I know.

Teenagers + LGBT = character! Yes, it's Mary-Sue, but why the hell not?

I've already been wanting to do a drama with an ensemble cast, so I've tossed around the idea of writing about a teenager sent to an ex-gay camp and his interactions with his camp-mates and counselors. Obviously, not having gone to an ex-gay camp, I have a bit of research ahead of me, but otherwise I'm sure I can improvise it. As for the characters, I want to highlight a broad range of LGBT+ archetypes and culture, so that the novel touches upon all colors of the LGBT rainbow (pun intended). I want this novel to be an in-depth expose of our conflicts, desires, wants, needs, pressures, inter-discrimination, and everything else that encompasses being LGBT—something that's interesting for the gay person but light enough for the straight person. ^_^

 

I'm so jumping into this this year. I've had a novel idea in my head that's been developing for nearly three years now, so I'm going to putting it down on paper finally. I just hope I don't end up hating the story afterward.

 

One of my friends and I are going to write one together this year
Yay.
Even though it's technically against the rules
We just had this epic idea in physics

 

I'm doing it this year. I've had my basic idea for a novel floating in my head for a few months now, and Nano seems like the perfect way to get it out. My cousin's been doing it for years, so at least I'll have someone with whom I can sympathize when it gets tough.

Eep, I'm excited! I can't wait until November.

 

I'd love to participate, as I have a very active imagination, but I have a tough time "putting ideas onto paper" so-to-speak. Ah well. Can't wait to hear about what you all write ^^

 

I'm actually starting to get nervous. I don't think I have a large enough story to actually fill the requirements...I hope I find lots of things to embellish between point A and B!

 

I tried to write a sort of teen issues story last year, realized I lacked passion for it, and stopped a couple thousand words in.
Which is why I'm going to attempt the sort of things I actually like to read. I had a dream a few years ago that inspired an idea for a world something along the lines of Anthem by Ayn Rand, mixed with Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Yes, that has some contradictions, but I'm working on it and I have an original storyline, or so I think, to go along with the idea for the universe. So...hopefully I make it this year.

 

Only a week or so to go! Who's excited?

 

Hella excited!
I talked to my teacher, so my friend and I are doing it for Creative Writing.

 

Hah, last minute participant signing up! I've been tossing the idea back and forth, and decided to give it a shot! I've tried the past two years and failed both times! Maybe this time will be different? I hope so!

Edit: Got into my account! Best of luck, everyone!

 

Good luck everyone!! Helen and I are going for it again this year. Hopefully we can win two years running.
