I can’t get on rn because I don’t have a laptop, but how does the buddy thing work, anyway?
ITS OCTOBER
I was always told that you weren't even supposed to start planning until November lol, my freshman teachers were misinformed.
It's going to be me birthday in 10 days
school
Well hap early birthday then!!
aww thank you :>
Um
You don't worry about it being good
That's the point of nano?
yeah, that's why assholes like me don't bother planning. i gave up halfway through a basic plot
school
Yes. I tried it once, and of course I failed because I can't write an ending to anything to save a life.
Yeah, I know it's not going to be good. But I guess I'm just someone who would rather have a pretty solid idea of what I want to happen in my story before I commit to writing it, if that makes sense. I'm not really someone who comes up with story ideas very easily, so having to plan a novel and write 50,000 words all in 30 days just doesn't really seem attainable to me (unless you add all your planning to your word count)? Idk though everyone has a different planning process ¯\(ツ)/¯
Oh god endings are the biggest nope for me. I've finished exactly one book in all fourteen of my years off life and that was a book written for 2nd-4th graders
I thought part of the challenge was creating something completely new, all in 30 days (I only have to write 10,000 because I'm a sophomore HAH)
I’m a sophomore too? Is this like required thing at your school?
Mnope, just for funs. You only have to write as much as your grade level, so 5th grade is 5000, 10th grade is 10000. They might make everyone do the adult level where you are, idk
Nanowrimo isn't required where I live, I only heard about it when I joined notebook lol
I’ve known what it is, I just decided it might be fun. I’ve got me requirements
I might actually start writing this year. I tried inktober but I haven't completed day one yet so I gave up on that
group
I tried to do Inktober but it's the 8th and I haven't yet did anything. Though I was thinking about writing a story and using every one of Inktober's prompts in it too participate
Oh, that sounds cool! I'm actually sort of proud of my Inktober drawings so far, and I'm trying to finish a children's book, which might include my drawings and I am BUSY (especially with theatre)
Guys, wish me luck TwT I'm trying to write ten chapters this month, fourteen chapters for nano, and then eight chapters in December. I'm working on the last book of my trilogy, and I need to finish it this year TwT
I want to participate this year but I'm super busy in November and also have no ideas someone help
Tis my birthday!!
Hap birth!
And I actually blended a prompt from Pinterest with a prompt from an online plot generator, and came up with characters before all of it. Plot generators are good, if you find one you like
Thanks!!
I saw your NaNo thread and I have to say I love the summary
Could you link the plot generator you use? Just out of curiosity, I haven't really looked for them but I tend to get lost when it comes to that stuff sometimes
I’ll try and find it
Hssfaas thamk
I’ll grab the link once I’ve got a computer, but it’s RanGen uk
Thanks, Crocs!
And that sounds cool! Mine's an idea that started as a roleplay like three-ish years ago. Basically superpowered people start showing up and the government's like "oh shit we can't have this, they could be DaNgErOuS and decide to start arresting anyone with powers and ditching them on this abandoned island in the middle of the ocean. Plot things ensue. So far I have exactly one and a half characters done. I want to try and contact some of the people I roleplayed it with and see if I can base certain characters' powers off of theirs, since I really liked a few(hemokinesis or basically bending someone's blood and basically Katsuki Bakugou but with terribly crippling anxiety were a couple of them)
